Photographing The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye in Scotland

I have not long been back from a fabulous week-long landscape photography trip to the Isle of Skye in Scotland with a group of photographer friends I have made on flickr. The six of us had a full week on Skye to enjoy some of the well known photographic locations and some less well known locations. On day 1 in Skye our fist location was to The Quiraing for a morning shoot.

The Quiraing an essential subject on the Isle of Skye for any photographer as it passes through some of the most spectacular landscapes isle and some argue in the entirety of Scotland. The Quiraing is part of the Trotternish ridge and was formed by a massive landslip which has created high cliffs, hidden plateaus and pinnacles of rock If the conditions are right, this landscape provides ample opportunities for varied landscape photographs.

On our visit the weather conditions didnt quite work out as I had expected, As this being a repeat visit from 2020 I was hopeful for more atlantic storms to roll in over the UK, alas they did but but much further south leaving only remnants of unsettled weather to photograph during our weeks photography adventure. We also met up with some local flickr contacts and benefited from their local knowledge, which I hope will be evident in future videos I will upload from this adventure. If you are still reading, well I wish I could give you a badge or something to show my appreciation, thank you!
