Skye - December 2014
19th January 2015
A few days between Christmas and Hogmanay 2014, was just what I needed to get a few shots under my belt. Although I was primarily at home to see the folks, it provided me with an opportunity to get a shot of Dunvegan Castle (for a poster for the gift shop), and a couple of unexpected other landscape shots. I was hoping to capture the castle under moody skies, and I was a bit dissapointed with the blue which I was faced with. However, after disturbing the grey seals, I took a few practice shots, and with the sun getting low on the horizon, the rocks on the foreground turned a lovely golden colour. Bingo!
I also managed a trip along the shoreline at Hallin, Waternish, as part of my ongoing project to photograph the coastline of Durinish, and on a wild and windy day, I was lucky enough to be presented with the sun breaking through the clouds in shafts. Likewise, a trip to Neist proved fruitful, although I broke another tripod in the proces, my son and I clambered round the bottom of the cliffs on Waterstein Head to capture the point from a different angle. Awesome waves, and not a soul about! We could see the cars parked up at the Nest Point walk, but nobody had ventured this way, so it turned into a really good afternoon out
