A well deserved webtogs win! I've almost stopped crying about not lugging my tent up there that night.

Simply stunning, mountains and stars (and Chilli Con Carne ), the pic of you 'Looking' is brilliant. This is now on the to do list. Everyone else has asked all the necessary questions, so its just a case of waiting for the right day and night. Congratulations too

PS Volunteer needed to carry my Telescope and Tripod up there too

A wee bit different two days later. Just about to write my own report. Not as stunning as yours

Fantastic post, and professional photography skills on show, very jealous!
What sort of tripod do you use? I guess you're cameras are on the light side but summits are windy places and even the carbon ones will contribute significantly to your pack weight?

Hello - I have two tripods - I own an ultra pod (I thinks that's whats its called ?) just a wee one. Perfect for the video shots and some of the night shots. I usually use a slightly larger one when taking night shots - maybe stands about 2 foot high when extended. Not an expensive one - bought for about 30 quid on internet - doesn't have a ball bearing head (not sure of correct terminology here!) so can be a pain to set up. and your right if its blowy both can be affected by the wind (as you can see in some of the timelaspe stuff - its not exactly still sometimes).

All th daytime shots are done without a tripod just handheld shots - I am too lazy to set I up and probably wouldn't get anywhere trying to get perfect shot etc etc lol

hope that helps

If there's a better photographic report on this website, please show me it. I doubt such an experience will be forgotten.

Your videos and images brought back some very happy memories for me, I lived at Kingshouse for 16 years and spent quite a bit of time on Beinn a'Chrulaiste both day and night. Winter was especially a favourite.
Great post, keep them coming
