Frost and Snow Make for Some Good Images

Temperature Inversion at Dundreggan (Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III, M.Zuiko 40150mm f/2.8 Pro lens at 150mm, 1/800 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200, handheld)

Over the last days of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 we have had some lovely frosty weather, followed by some heavy snow, by our standards at least.  Being on holiday I took advantage of the weather to get out with the camera, firstly with a trip to Dundreggan on the 30th December.  I had hoped to get some nice frosty landscape and woodland images, and anticipated a really good temperature invesion as Glen Morriston is particularly prone to them at this time of year.  I was not disappointed with the inversion, although was somewhat surprised by the relatively light frost.

The woodlands at Dundreggan did not disappont and I got some lovely atmospheric misty shots of trees, woodland and the river.

Yesterday we had ongoing snow all day and I had to go and feed the cattle at Kirkton.  While there I spotted some stonechats hanging around the silage, looking for some food, but I didn't have my camera with me.  I headed home and then after lunch I popped back down to the field and caught the following images of the stonechats and a robin (some good candidates for next year's Christmas card I think) and a nice one of an old ash tree in snow.
