High tide at Elgol . . .
It was a fantastic evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dennis barreled across the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, gale force winds, driving rain, hail pellets, snow, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous golden hour light.
There were 7 of us dashing about capturing as many images as we could, in conditions we had only dreamed of before. A majority of us ended up at the JCB (Joe Cornish Boulder) to capture the incoming tide as the sun set. In the distance can be seen the snowcapped Cuillins.
It was a challenge, as the waves broke on the rocks, to keep the sea spray off the front of the lens. As I was walking back to the car in darkness, I thought to myself how fortunate I was!
