"Just ONE more photo . . . then we can go!" Explore 23-07-2025 #8
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. Each incoming wave created a unique moment to photograph as it crashed on the rocks . . . it was impossible to pack up and leave without "Just ONE more photo . . ." Nature finally determined when it was time to stop . . . it got dark.
I had flown from Minnesota to spend nearly a week with 5 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. I even got the opportunity to meet and shoot with SkyeWeasel. This was the end of our first day on Skye, as I was walking back to the car in darkness I thought to myself how lucky I was!
