“Just a wee note to say thank you for the workshop – really brilliant, lots of opportunities, lots of angles, lots of subject matter, light and atmosphere changes!

As always with your trips, I pick up photographic information, operational knowledge, and tips and tricks that assist me in my conversion to landscape photography, so thanks for sharing that with me.
Really enjoyable and your tuition has inspired me to get out and experience this great land through taking memorable images.”
Details
The region of Assynt and Coigach in the north west Highlands is home to some spectacular coastal and mountain scenery. This is one of my favourite areas for landscape photography, particularly in autumn, when the landscape turns to a beautiful palette of green, orange and gold, and the silence is broken only by the sound of stags rutting on the hillsides. The mountains aren’t particularly high but what they lack in height, they make up for in character.
Itinerary
Below is a sample itinerary, to give you a feel for the type of locations we’ll visit during the workshop. Expect this to change a little, so that we can take advantage of the weather and tidal conditions on the day. Also, don’t worry if you think you might ‘run out of steam’ by the afternoon; I don’t mind substituting one of the afternoon locations for a café!
09:30 – Meet and greet.
10:00 – Arrive at our first location, Loch Cul Dromannan, which offers spectacular views towards the mountains of Ben More Coigach and Stac Pollaidh. We’ll run through some theory before setting up our cameras and tripods.
11:30 – We’ll follow the single track road past Stac Pollaidh and visit Achnahaird; a beautiful beach and ideal vantage point for photographing the Assynt mountains.
13:00 – Enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Lochinver Larder, famed for its delicious pies!
14:00 – Capture a panoramic view of the Assynt mountains from Strone, to the north of Lochinver, before moving on to Clachtoll where we’ll practice photographing details within the landscape.
16:00 – Pause at Loch Assynt to photograph the ruins of Ardvreck Castle with the mountain of Quinag beyond.
