Sunset An Teallach
When I eventually heave myself up to the summit of a fine scottish mountain like An Teallach, blowing like Stevenson's Rocket under the combined weight of a sturdy Gitzo tripod, tent and Pentax 67, the words "never again" have yet to escape my wheezing lungs. Instead my lower jaw drops with a clang on the ground and I realise I'll be climbing these things until it becomes a physical impossibility for me.. My god the view. I camped the night on the summit but couldn't sleep such was my excitement at the thought of greeting dawn.

Pentax 67II, 45mm lens, 0.6ND grad, F22 at 4 sec's, Velvia.

Worth the climb for light and views like this.

Wouldn't want to be planning this sort of trek this week though!!

Magnificent image Ian.

I have just been browsing your website, and congrats regarding Apple choosing one of your images to be used as a wallpaper on the iPhone.

I have just looked at said wallpaper on my iPhone and it looks great.

What a view! Nice image too!

Makes me wish I'd keep my ebony large format now.

Beautiful! I bet the experience of camping up there was quite something too. Tristan

One of Scotland's finest and you've certainly done it justice Ian.

Well done Ian. It's all worth it. I just wish for some Meteor to hit the Netherlands so we have some mountains too :biggrin:
Great stuff. Hope to see more.
