Clinging On For Dear Life, Sunrise at Quiraing, Isle of Skye, Scotland

I shot this image while leading a workshop on Skye recently, this is one of my favourite trees in the whole of the UK. It's tenacity to survive is quite extraordinary. To thrive and grow year on year on the edge of a rocky ridge even during the harshest of winters is super impressive and it reminds me of the resilience of nature and how it always finds a way to survive, develop and grow.

 

To capture this shot, the camera has to be placed lower than yourself and the tilting LCD screen of my Canon EOS R was perfectly created for such shots and it made the experience in shooting this scene all the more manageable.
