bad weather project 1 by Ela Dzimitko Via Flickr: I started a new photo project 'bad weather photography'. I realised that a lot of photographs I like were taken in bad or dramatic weather conditions. And while I had several spots around Glencoe I wanted to explore, the weather beat me. Each time I took the camera out and setup tripod, the heavens opened. This is the only photo I managed to heal most of raindrops sitting on the lens during this 30s exposure. More to come soon :)

The shots are made in May 2019 where I had the pleasure to travel around the Scottish Highlands for two weeks. I had the pleasure to experience the spectacular Isle of Skye with a sunrise at the Storr, a long hike and lot of mist at the Quiraing and the beautiful Fairy Pools. In Glencoe I experienced the lakes Glencoe Lochan and Lochan Urr, Glen Etive with amazing still water, had an interesting and demanding climb to the top of Ben Nevis which is the highest mountain in UK and finally made a timelapse at the Glenfinnan Viaduct with the steam train known from Harry Potter.
