Story Behind The Lens

The Bealach na Ba is the winding single-track mountain pass to Applecross, built in 1822 and engineered similarly to the mountain passes of the Alps. It has the greatest ascent of any road in the UK and is the third-highest road in Scotland. From the top, you can experience terrific views across much of Wester Ross, the Isle of Skye, the Islands of Rum, and the Outer Hebrides.
During winter, frost, ice, and snow transform the Bealach, and Jack wanted an aerial panorama to showcase this perspective, as many people usually see it only in spring or summer, from the ground.

This panorama is actually composed of nine separate images stitched together to build up the resolution, which allows Jack to form the panoramic shape while retaining quality. This is a technique he uses often in his photography. The images must be taken in quick succession, using exactly the same settings so that nothing changes across the scene. It is also vital that there is a good overlap between the images so that Jack can accurately stitch them together later.

The final result allows you to see an alpine comparison and encapsulates the incline of the pass and the hairpin bends, in contrast with the stark white snow.
