SCOTLAND360° BLOG POST - WINTER LIGHT AND LONG DISTANCE VIEWS
MORNING LIGHT ON THE STRATHCONON HILLS
16th December 2007
There’s not a lot of daylight in mid December in the north of Scotland…. So sometimes it makes sense to plan for a smaller day in the hills and Strathconon was inviting. It’s reasonably close by, the forecast was looking good and it was a nice opportunity to revisit a the hills again.
And the light was definitely in favour of the photographer….

I’m Angus Mackie, a professional photographer, based just north of Inverness on the beautiful Black Isle. I'm on the North Coast 500 and am well placed to discover most of the Highlands. The iconic scenery of Glen Affric and the Cairngorms are close by whilst many of the wild and dramatic locations on the west coast are within easy reach.
Mountains, landscapes, coastlines.... As a landscape and panoramic photographer, I enjoy exploring Scotland and its wild and remote places and have discovered some of the best photography locations in the Highlands over the last 35 years of living up here. With a broad and wide ranging knowledge of the Highlands, I still enjoy finding new locations and fresh perspectives for my photography. The use of natural light to capture stunning scenery at spectacular locations is very much a key factor for my photography.
I’m a qualified Summer Mountain Leader, a Sea Kayak Leader and a UKCC Level 2 Sea Kayaking coach, with many years experience of leading and guiding. I was also a longstanding member of Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team.
