Lewis: Tràigh Dal Mor
Taken around 7.30 a.m. on late May morning on my first trip to the Outer Hebrides. I got up before dawn to take photos at the standing stones of Calanais. The early morning light was wonderful and I seemed to have the Hebridean island completely to myself, so I continued up the coast for a couple of other stops including Dalmore Beach.
Back to the B&B very hungry my full Scottish breakfast:-)

Thank you so much, Frank. I clearly had a feel for a good scene ;-) back then but used automatic settings, saving in jpg. I go for f/10 or higher now and perhaps slower timing too. But I definitely would save in raw now, as the original jpg had a very low resolution and little depth.
