Shooters from wet and windy countries

As a final backup against the wind I always take a digital camera when I just can't keep the large format camera still.

Probably obvious,but a 5x4 catches a lot less wind than a 10x8, and I'm expecting to use 5x4 the most in Glencoe in a couple of weeks time.

Yeah, I've been thinking that I will still need to carry a digital as backup. I guess the real reason I want to go large format is that I have a couple of images in my head that I would like to construct, and having the best quality for these in terms of tonality, potential printing size, etc, is paramount. I've been burned already by having nice images that just won't scale well beyond a computer screen.

And Bruce, I wish you the best for Glencoe. Fantastic place - it seems to have a different mood each time I visit. Make sure you come up from the Tyndrum route (presuming you haven't visited before) - more atmospheric in my opinion.
