A shot which follows on nicely from the last one as this was shot several hours later at Tarskavaig, we had come here for sunset, it was a new location for me on the island and one I like a lot.

The one thing this photo cannot tell you is just how windy it was here, the wind was coming in hard off the sea and was really causing issues with stability, the spikes on the tripod were rammed right into the ground and I still needed to shield the camera set up by standing in front of it with my coat taking the brunt of the wind whilst trying not to get blown over or blown into the setup! not easy! I had shot a panorama of the scene before this and had to abandon it twice due to unsharp images.

Once that was in the bag I thought I'd push my luck and go for a long exposure, somehow using the same method I managed 2 sharp ones with the nice side lighting coming into the scene picking out the details, while the clouds were blown quickly accross the scene with the strong winds, can't grumble!

As a side to this after we had finished shooting here we walked back to the car and I saw what I thought was a dog on the beach, which would be unusual as it is in the middle of nowhere, as it got closer I saw it wasn't a dog at all but a huge Sea Otter! I've wanted to see one of these all my life in the wild and in all my trips to Scotland I hadn't seen one, what a fantastic moment! he came running by and we watched him dissapear into a sea channel further along, as far as shooting days go, definitely one of my favourites!
