ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Stac Pollaidh, (Stac Polly), is one of the best known and most popular mountains in Scotland, its steep pinnacled ridge often likened to a porcupine. It is said that the difficult climb is more than worth the effort allowing some of the best views in Scotland, looking around 360 degrees and as far as the eye can see.

However, on this occasion the view of the mountain, is from the edge of Loch Lurgainn.

I was on a photographic holiday and chose to stay at the base where I was rewarded by being able to adapt to the changing light and conditions as the late afternoon sun broke through for a short while to illuminate the snow covered steep sides of the mountain.

AUTHOR
Don Hooper, Bristol based Wildlife and Landscape photographer with over 45 years’ experience, now specialising mainly in Black and White.
His world as we see it through the lens, captures life in a contemporary form; exposing the sensitivity and beauty nature possesses. With the intention of fabricating both stillness and movement within his shots, Hooper over the years has built a diverse body of work where his creative flare and eye for the bewildering shines through. Combining his passion for art, as well as photography, he mimic's the look of silhouettes in a highly contrasted and atmospheric fashion. Fulfilled with just his camera, an open landscape and the possibility of capturing just one great shot, Hooper thrives on the chance of seizing a single moment in time where no photo can ever be the same. Encapsulating an overall sense of calm.
