Sun Rays Through the Eye of the Needle Rock, Old Man of Storr, Skye

 

A couple of weeks ago while running the first of my back to back workshops in Skye, I took my six clients to the Old Man of Storr. We set off from the guesthouse near Portree at 4.30am to head to the new car park at the base of the Old Man of Storr and prepared ourselves to hike up to shoot the Old Man before sunrise.

 

We ended up settling on this composition instead of hiking right up to the top ledge and it was a great decision as the rising sun provided us all with a great opportunity to capture it through the eye of Needle Rock.

 

For those interested, this is a single exposed image (no multi bracketing going on here). The ability of the Canon R5's sensor capabilities, especially when pulling out detail from the shadow areas is extraordinary.

 

Have a great weekend everyone
