Scottish Highlands in Autumn
18th to 25th October 2026 (Sold Out)
During this workshop we will photograph some of the most spectacular landscape scenery in the British Isles at the height of the autumn foliage colour. With all the shades of autumn around us we will be less dependent on good light. In fact overcast light, and even wet conditions, work brilliantly for photographing autumn colour!
Our priority will be to capture autumn foliage colour in the landscape, hopefully with atmospheric misty conditions at times! This will include both wide landscapes and closer details. It will be necessary to walk to some locations, often uphill to reach the best vantage points. However, there will be no long walks. The maximum distance will be around 2-3km in each direction, but in many cases we'll be working close to our vehicle.
Participants will travel in my large four-wheel drive vehicle, which will be equipped for winter conditions just in case!
PLANNED ITINERARY (subject to change due to weather and foliage conditions):
Day one: Arrival at first hotel near Glasgow airport for an initial introduction and to check camera settings.
Day two: Early start to drive up through the spectacular autumn scenery to overnight near Glencoe.
Day three & four: Explore Glencoe and the west coast. This will include mountains, lochs, waterfalls, lighthouses, castles and many spectacular landscapes.
Day five: Dawn shoot around Glencoe then drive east across Rannoch Moor and into Perthshire.
Day six & seven: Explore Perthshire. This is one of the best areas for autumn colour in the UK. We will photograph forests, Lochs, Castles, rivers and waterfalls.
Day eight: Early start to explore the Trossachs National Park around sunrise before starting our journey home.
Please bear in mind that we will be exploring quite a large area in order to get as much variety as possible, so there will be some quite lengthy travelling times between some locations, not in terms of distance but because we have to drive around mountains on small roads in order to reach different locations at the best time for photography. We may not visit locations in the most logical order as we need to be in each place at the right time for the light, tidal conditions and for the prevailing weather conditions.
