The Sound of Raasay from Rigg Viewpoint, Isle of Skye, Scotland

I returned to the Isle of Skye mid-November on my own for three days before running my five day workshop there, my first since February 2019 and I had forgotten just how spectacular a place it is.

This truly stunning scene was shot at mid-morning from Rigg Viewpoint on the east coast, just ten miles north of Portree. I was driving by en-route to Portree when I spotted this sublime light and I just had to stop and spend half an hour there capturing this magnificent view and also the one that I have shared in the comment box below. Both images were taken two minutes apart.

The light and the dramatic sky were quite something to witness. I underexposed the camera a little to ensure that the bright spots of sunlight on the water were not blown out but nonetheless, it was a dramatic scene.

I hope you all enjoy the photo :D
