Hill of Uisneach Sketches


A bit of a behind the scenes here for the Hill of Uisneach image.

Usually before I work on the final for each image, I do a series of sketches, one of those stages, is a colour comp stage. This is where I play with different times of day/weather to get different light & colour options,  playing with different moods and feels for the site.

In this case the middle one was chosen by the clients as the plan was to include a fair or aonach in the image, so the darkness of the third sunset image above for instance wouldnt have been appropiate as people may injure themselves.

The final image can be seen here:

They are all fabulous... must have been so hard to choose just one. I love the play of golden light in the third image. Very beautiful.

Thanks Ali! It was a hard choice alright, the final certainly had its draws as well
