Well today was my last full day of photography on this quite remarkable island of Lewis and Harris and this location was to be the final one of the day/week/amazing photography holiday.

 

I have had a fantastic time with three very good friends all week, lots of laughter, fun and humorous stories have been had which is always good for the head, heart and soul. Thanks Mick, Tony and Brian for the memories.

.

Personally I always love finishing an epic trip to somewhere new with a fantastic location as it kind of has me send of the place in style and this wonderful little beach awaited us this afternoon. We arrived to find it completely free of footprints which is remarkable and it allowed us to compose our shots carefully.

 

The rolling waves were perfectly timed and just the right height and intensity to deliver us some cracking photos such as this one.

 

 

My verdict on the Isle of Lewis and Harris?

 

This is my first time of visiting and it has been an education and a real pleasure in discovering the many different sides and locations of this fine island. I have found it to be remote, desolate in parts, much larger than I first thought with some quite outstanding beaches, sea stacks and rocky outcrops. It really does feel different to the mainland, very earthy, no-nonsense way of living but seemingly free of complications and modern life and actually that isn't a bad thing.

 

I have decided to run a workshop here later in the year, either a four or a five day one with a maximum of five places. If you're interested in joining me, let me know and you'll be the first to hear of my future plans for this quite wonderful island.

 

I hope you have all enjoyed my photos and exploits from Lewis and Harris this week and I have shot a video of me today which I will edit once home (it will be live on YouTube early next week).

 

Thanks for all your comments, likes and general interaction this week, it has been great having you along for the ride. I'm off to Dorset on Wednesday for five days to run a two day 1-2-1 with a new client followed by a one day workshop on the Sunday which I am delighted to announce that the one and only Take-a-View Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016-17 Matthew Cattell will be joining me as a special guest for the day.

 

So for those of you who have booked on to the workshop, there's a little treat for you and if there's a couple of you out there interested in joining us at Durdle Door, Bat's Head, Man 'o' War Bay and Kimmeridge Bay for the day, click here to book.
