Down The Side of Ben Nevis

Posted by Rhys (Darlington, United Kingdom) on 14 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I cannot remember the exact name if this location, however, I do remember that somewhere to the left Ben Nevis was looming in the mist.

Great details on the road, an invitation to ride ! Great mono really. I like the composition.

@zOOm: Thanks, I think what I like is the road markings leading you in. Oh, and the lack of any other cars or people!

Powerful composition, the cloud/mist conditions are familiar!

@Scotfot: Thanks! I think we only caught a slight glimpse of the actual Ben Nevis peak on one or two occassions- but VERY briefly. The top is almost constantly shrouded in mist. I have no idea what the small peak in this shot is called. Anyone?

I really like your composition and it works so well in b/w. It has flow and zoom. bravo.

@Michael Skorulski: The actual scene (from what I remember) was almost like this in terms of tone- very grey and misty, I dont think anything other than mono would have worked. Cheers for the comments.

Wonderful composition. I particularly like how the mountains echo each other with the same curves begun by the pavement. Well see. Impressive detail.

@GJC: Thanks again!

Fantastic vanishing point. What I like most though, is the way you maintained the detail in the forground (the road).
