The Pap of Glencoe is a mountain on the northern side of Glen Coe, in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies at the western end of the Aonach Eagach ridge, directly above the point where the River Coe enters Loch Leven - as described by
Wikipedia and here is the correct meaning and Gaelic pronunciation of
Sgorr na Ciche for those who are interested.
This peak is classed as a 'Graham', as it is not quite high enough to be classed as a 'Munro'.
This super large pano was taken just a few days ago on a quick (36 hour) photo tour around the length and breadth of Glen Coe and Glen Etive, which turned out to be very productive for me indeed as the weather was perfect for photography, with lots of early mist in the glens and rolling around on the peaks, as well as lots of autumn colour and then all capped off by two of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen
It was photographic nirvana
I was only at this scene for around thirty minutes, but in that time the guy shown walking up the shoreline on the right of this shot, seemed to be wandering about trying to find a composition (I assume) with his camera still tucked away safely in his camera bag, so I don't know if he got anything worthwhile although I certainly hope he did, but my tip is that when you find yourself in such lucky circumstances where you know you have got to work quickly and you haven't got time to think, is instead of wandering around looking for that perfect shot and risking that the reflection will disappear before you find it, is to setup and shoot a quick couple of vertical orientation pano's and get something on the memory card first, as it might turn out to be your best shot if you do.
Also no need for slow shutter speeds and lots of DoF either, as the foreground reflection even at your feet, is only as sharp as the distant objects it is reflecting, so focus on the distant shoreline or perhaps something around two thirds into the scene instead of the usual one third into the scene (the smaller boat in the centre distance for example), which should also mean that anything around f/11 or f/16 should do nicely.
...and here endeth the first lesson
