That feeling when you visit a location that you were just passing by and the photographic opportunity is to good not to let it pass you by. That is what happened when traveling to ClenCoe.

As we are driving up over the Huntly to Dufftown road, I know a spot that offers a great view of Ben Rinnes, the jewel of Morayshire. The morning light was perfect and with the first signs of snow drifting across just made that more special.

I have always been fascinated with woodland photographers. especially the likes of Simon Baxter. I was down in Loch Garten and wondering the woodland area with Alyce Bend (from the US).

I find woodland photography frustrating but I love the challenge of trying to make a calming scene out of what is often very busy and distracting.
