Weather has been pretty crap recently

You're telling me, 2 weeks off and still waiting for a sign of the sun. Just grey, grey and more grey.
Nice series of shots, whats that blue stuff in the sky, ops it is the sky, forgot what it looked like.

And you didn't process these earlier why?? :)

Seriously though these as always with your images are superb. Skye is my favorite place in the UK and I visit there as often as I can.

Skye is one of my favourites also, it's got almost everything a landscape photographer needs :)

The main reason I didn't process the images earlier was that I had similar shots already done, although slightly different light/angle etc.

I just saw these images. Beautiful shots. Very dramatic compositions. My one nitpick would be that the colour of the boat which is similar to the lighthouse looks a little unnatural and jumps out at you too much. Of course it's just my opinion. :)

That's what I like about the shot, but I guess we all appreciate different things....that's what makes life interesting.

Looking again I think I know the location of the first. I took a shot of the same view but the light was naff so I didn't keep it.

Is is right next to a hotel and the island you facing is Ornsay island?


Technical perfection is only ever important if it improves the asthetic. It is not the precursor to beauty. Not in art..not in music and not in photography!

Superb set of shots Les, and to think these were dismissed on your first look through.

Very true, the art of photography is totally subjective. That's what makes it so much fun.

I have lived in Scotland for 41 of my 52 years of life. I've been to Skye about 5 or 6 times. I have never seen the tops of any of the mountains, many of the times the mist was so thick I could hardly drive, and the time I stayed for a whole week .............. it rained every day, all day! :cry: :cry:

One day I will get some shots there. If they're half as good as these Lesmac 'seconds' I will be blissfully happy! Thanks Les. :)

Those are smashing shots Les. Very inspiring. Is the blue tint on the lighthouse PP or real?

It's real, due to the early morning light :)

For me the best shots are #3 and #5.
The blue color is fantastic!

Thanks.
