Description

Dark lore surrounds The Devil’s Pulpit, located somewhat between Glasgow and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park in central Scotland. The actual Devil’s Pulpit rock is out of the shot on the right, where legends tell of the Devil himself preaching to followers as well as Druids and witches gathering at different points in history. Red sandstone makes the water appear as a river of blood, with moss carpeting the steep canyon walls. The light was absolutely fantastic the day we visited, bright yet diffused through thin clouds and the leafy canopy above, making the entire scene glow with a yellow-green tint which contrasts perfectly with the rusty red of the creekbed. I love the little squiggles that the bubbles became in the long exposure. Getting to this point required some wading and then setting up my tripod in the water as I stood on a thin ledge next to the pool, then waiting for the breeze to calm and the light to reach that perfect point.

I offer select photographs, those right-place-right-time images that really shine, as Limited Edition prints. Only 25 prints of this image will be produced (regardless of chosen media or print size), after which the image will become unavailable. Limited Edition prints take a little longer to produce as each print is numbered, signed, and dated on the back to guarantee authenticity.
