About The Image
This is another of those iconic viewpoints, looking west over Loch Garry towards the snow capped mountains of Glen Quoich and Knoydart. Loch Garry is much photographed from the A87 for its romantic setting and also because a quirk of perspective makes it appear like a map of Scotland. The single track road through the glen leads into some very magnificent and remote mountain country and after nearly 30 miles arrives on the western seaboard at the lonely hamlet of Kinlochhourn.
Loch Garry is fed by the waters of Loch Quoich which is 7 miles upstream on the River Garry, whilst downstream, it drains into Loch Oich in the Great Glen. Over the years the conifers in the foreground of this shot, when taken from the roadside, have begun to encroach upon the composition, so I now work from a location some 30 metres up the hill behind.
When I arrived on the scene this February morning much of the glen was hidden beneath a veil of frozen mist which has left its mark on the trees around the loch. Within fifteen minutes this had lifted to reveal the wonderful panorama captured in this image. The final image was achieved from a photomerge of five consecutive shots taken in the vertical format.
About The Print
All of my prints are made to order.
My prints are painstakingly crafted and printed from only my very best images; the vast majority of which were captured to strictly observed standards using high end professional cameras and lenses, in particular the Fuji GX617 panoramic camera, one of several Canon EOS full frame digital cameras or, more recently, the highly respected market leading Nikon D850 digital camera.
Quality is maintained by respecting the relationship between original image size and final print size; optimising the level of magnification between the two ensures that my prints always contain infinite and crisp subject detail.
I produce all my prints on premium quality inkjet media that enables the extensive colour gamut, best contrast and finest nuances required for impressive pictures.
All my prints are produced on the very latest Epson printers using Ultrachrome HDR pigment inks. These printers take inkjet (giclee) technology to an entirely new level with higher colour accuracy, greater subtlety and smoother gradations. Grass and foliage is much more vivid and natural whilst orange tones in sunrises and sunsets are more dazzling.
All prints have at least a 2" (5cm) white border on all sides of the image.
About The Frame Mouldings
All my frame mouldings are made of real wood from a sustainable source.
Barefaced finishes possess a natural grained pattern which will vary along the length and breadth of the moulding.
I do not use cheaper plastic composites. Availability of some materials can be limited, so not all mouldings are offered for sale at the same time.
All framed prints are also supplied with a bevelled mount embellished with a single'v' groove before being fitted into the selected frame.
