Scenic view of Loch Shiel with surrounding mountains at sunset.

Head of Loch Shiel

Glennfinan ,

Photographed at sunrise, this panoramic view looks south from the head of Loch Shiel, where the first light of day illuminates Meall na h-Airigh, Meall a’ Bhainne and the distant peak of Sgorr nan Cearc.

Along the northern shoreline, the small settlement of Glenfinnan sits beneath the surrounding Highland mountains, dwarfed by the scale of the landscape.

Notes

This photograph is made from sixteen separate images, each captured at different angles and exposure settings before being carefully stitched together. This approach allowed me to capture the full sweep of the landscape while retaining detail in both the bright morning light and the darker shadows.
