On the Isle of Skye, the Red Cuillin and the Black Cuillin stand in striking contrast, each revealing a different character of the island’s geology and mood. The Red Cuillin, formed largely from granite, glow with warmer tones of rust and pink, their rounded peaks and gentler slopes offering a sense of openness and approachability. By contrast, the Black Cuillin rise sharply in dark gabbro and basalt, their jagged ridgelines and sheer faces creating an atmosphere of drama and severity.
Looking at the Map, I knew that the summit of Marsco would provide a great vantage point over neighbouring Blaven. We arrived on the summit in early afternoon, giving ourselves plenty of time to seek out some interesting foreground compositions and wait for sunset. We were initially underwhelmed by the possibilities, until we spotted a section of interesting looking rgranite further down the ridge, in the direction of Blaven.
It turned out to be a fantastic afternoon for mountain photography - the low winter sun providing perfect lighting conditions and a range of interesting compositions within a very small area. As sunset approached, the light kept getting better and better, and we waited until the very last light of day had disappeared before descending down to Sligachan in the darkness.
All prints are prepared in house at the Old Butchers Gallery, using the best archival inks and printed on Fotospeed’s Natural Soft Textured Bright White paper. This is a heavyweight (310gsm), fine art paper with a smooth matt finish, specifically chosen to compliment the subtle colours of the scene.
This print is available in two sizes:
10.25 “× 20.5” Print area with a generous border, signed in the bottom right hand corner. Total size with border is 11.5 × 23 inches
15” × 30” Print area with a generous border, signed in the bottom right hand corner. Total size with border is 17 × 32 inches.
Please allow 3 to 4 inches on all sides for mounting and the frame on framed prints. If you have any questions regarding the sizing of a finished product, please just get in touch.
This print is currently on display at the gallery in a black frame, and looks fantastic. This is the frame I would recommend.
I offer 3 standard frame types as standard - Solid Oak, Black and Light Grey. All framed prints are mounted and backed using conservation grade materials and glazed using glass. Acrylic and non glare options are available, please contact me before placing an order to discuss options and prices.
If you have any special framing requirements please contact me and we can work together to come up with a solution which works best for your needs.
Print only orders will be sent wrapped in a postal tube with the print protected by a fine art tissue paper. Orders will be dispatched within a week, and delivery can be made internationally.
Framed prints will be bubble wrapped and packed for protection. As we outsource the framing process, please be aware that dispatch of a framed print can take up to 3 weeks. We regret that framed prints cannot be shipped internationally.
