The Iconic Stob Dearg & River Coppull Waterfall, Scotland
To shoot or not to shoot? That is the question. Actually there's never a moment of doubt in my mind as to whether to capture on camera an iconic and well known viewpoint. Sure, thousands before me have taken this scene but I don't worry about that, I simply want to do the very best job that I can in photographing it myself.
To that end, I am delighted with this image. It was shot while running my Glencoe photography workshop. This was the composition that I wanted but it involved clambering down into the pit as I call it to get water side as opposed to standing high up on the ledge above my head.
I had to shoot with my 16-35mm lenses at 16mm on a full frame Canon 5D MK4 to capture it the way I wanted to.
I hope you all like it. The coordinates for these falls are 56.647564, -4.866706
