Tarskavaig in November. Isle of Skye.

Tarskavaig in November. Isle of Skye.

This is the Isle of Skye at it’s best, when there is a lot of colour in the landcsape, with the low sun we get this far North at this time of year, accentuating every detail.
This is the crofting community of Tarskavaig, with the glorious backdrop of the Cuillin Hills.
“Crofting” is small time farming, or “smallholding” where a few crops might be grown, and a small number of cattle or sheep kept.

A single RAW file, shot on my Canon EOS 50D , polariser filter, f25, 1/2 sec, underexposed by 2/3 stop, iso 100, auto wb, processed in Adobe CR, then in CS3.

    A beautiful view! Can you tell me what “crofting” is? Thank you.

  • PhotosEcosse replied

    Crofting, is basically, small time farming, or “smallholding”. It means you might grow a few crops ,like hay, or vegetables, and keep a small number of cattle or sheep…..which you can see in this image. Most Crofters will have to have full time employment elsewhere to make ends meet, this is not easy land to live off owing to the severe weather conditions !
