Story Behind The Lens

The Glenelg Ferry (also known as the MV Glenachulish) is the only turntable ferry left in the world, providing a route over to the Isle of Skye that works with the tidal conditions.
Jack headed to Glenelg in September 2022 to capture images of this unique ferry and the surrounding landscape. Interestingly, Applecross and Glenelg share a connection as they are two remote communities based at the end of mountain passes. The children living in both places board weekly together at Plockton High School, creating closer links between rural families.
To capture this particular panorama, Jack used one of his smaller drones to get an aerial view. He then took 20-30 images across 4-6 overlapping frames from left to right. Each frame is made up of 5 photos taken at different exposures. When he stitches all of these images together, Jack gains a great amount of detail, alongside a more realistic representation of the colours and light, which wouldn't be achievable from one image alone.
With this particular setup, he also faced added difficulty as the ferry was continuously moving while he was taking each image. Jack had to be careful to know where the ferry was in each frame and quick to take the images so that it wouldn't appear twice.
