Roy has some choice words to say about my compositions while brandishing his new camera before we get chased away by midges. I offer to bring mum up a mountain for an overnight shoot in the elements with zero comforts and bizarrely she says "absolutely not". Amanda wisely decides to stay in the shack with the old folks. So off I go, alone and underprepared for a night of wild camping with no tent and no sleeping bag. Not even a space blanket. What I do have is my camera and my tripod as well as an assortment of unhealthy snacks and one wonderful book to read. As I begin my ascent up this steep mountain in Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, I get the stink eye from the bighorn sheep roaming the peaks, they're wary of sweaty Yorkshiremen. My decision to gobble down a chicken korma before the hike haunts me as I gag for air while suffering curry belly. Eventually though, the views open up and I'm in for a delightful night of landscape photography, provided I don't freeze up there. What follows is a joyous hunt for compositions at one of Scotland's most spectacular viewpoints and I'm finally able to cross this place off my bucket list. Will the sunrise deliver the goods and what do I think of Roy's compositions? There's really only one way to find out.
Thanks for watching
