Have been back here a few times and getting better results as time goes by. Juggling weather, tides, swell and wind can be challenging to get a reasonable image of these relics of disaster from over a hundred years ago.
We were passing by Corpach on our way to Mallaig so we stopped off to get some shots of this wreck.
I took the shot in the afternoon and even after being in the sun all day the shaded parts were still covered in frost.
The stunning backdrop to this wreck makes it very popular with photographers as a search on Flickr will prove.
History of the wreck.
The Corpach shipwreck is actually the rusting remains of a fishing vessel known as ‘MV Dayspring’. The 26 metre-long boat was built in 1975 and was used as a fishing boat, trawling the North Sea to catch herring and mackerel.
The ship was later re-named ‘Golden Harvest’. When the vessel’s skipper retired he sold Golden Harvest and she was shipped to Kilkeel in Northern Ireland where the boat continued a life of fishing.
In the early 2000’s Golden Harvest returned to Scotland and was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in Loch Leven until 2009, situated south-east of Fort William. The name Kinlochleven is Gaelic for ‘head’ of Loch Leven. The owners at the time had plans to convert the boat into a floating sea food restaurant but this never materialised.
The boat was now retired, increasing oil prices and a depletion of fish numbers contributing factors to this.
In 2009 the old fishing boat was moved to Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe, now under new ownership. In the year that followed, numerous repairs were done to the ship.
On 8th December 2011 a huge storm came in and the raiser chain which kept the vessel moored in Camusnagaul Bay failed. Golden Harvest was torn from its mooring. The local coastguard helped to control the landing of the vessel on the beach, between the villages of Corpach and Caol. Golden Harvest has lain there since, now an iconic landmark on the beach.

This wreck is “Manx Rose” and she was built in Arklow, Ireland, in 1942 for the Admiralty. She used to work from Pwllheli in the early 1980’s and then from Amlwch. She was decomissioned about 1985 and taken to Dulas Estuary, Anglesey.

This is an old one I found from last year, some of the wrecks on the coast of Mull that I shot while there and experimenting with long exposure black and white. Do not think it really worked properly but still like it. Probably becuase it comes with memories for me.
On the island of Mull in Scotland lie these abandoned old wooden wrecks just off the main road into Tobermory. I could not resist photographing them to go with my wrecked boat collection. To me it had to be in Monochrome/Black & White so as to bring out all of the feeling and detail of the wreck. Hope you like it.
Prompt: Create a hyper-realistic thumbnail of a stranded wrecked VOC ship. The thumbnail should feature a rainy day on an ominous beach. Include a dramatic spotlight or above water drone light shining on the wreckage, highlighting key details. Add a hint of debris floating nearby to evoke a sense of mystery and discovery.

I passed this wreck every day on a recent trip to Scotland and knew I was going to photograph it sometime. I stopped by each time I drove past, and it was the second to last day when I saw it bathed in early evening light. I would have preferred a moodier sky but you can't have everything.

A monochrome at Pinmill,the clouds worked out fine for this LE.
Graduated filter and B&W ND 110 used for 90 sec exposure.
Still prefer the colours in the shots previosly posted, in my photostream, even though I love taking mono images.
