Isle of Skye, February 2007 :)
-
Eilean Doan Castle one of the Iconic Scotish Castles was just a magic place to visit and photograph. I spent close to 6 hours taking in the surrounds, the atmosphere and the serenity and of course the odd photo or two. Here is one of my favourites, I really like the balance of light and the reflections. I hope you like it too.

I hope I haven’t worn out my welcome but it was one of the most photogenic locations we visited to here is another one.

Romance depicting heroic or marvelous deeds, pageantry, romantic exploits etc Eilean Donan castle bathing in the early afternoon light _As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most important attractions in the Scottish highlands. Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries. Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932_ / http://www.eileandonancastle.com/

A croft is a very small farm, or smallholding. Sheep and a few cattle will be kept, and maybe a few crops grown, mostly potatoes, since they do well on the often wet and impoverished soil. Summer is a very short season at this Latitude (57 degrees North) Very few people will make a full living from crofting, and have other full- time employment. There are also quite a few ‘holiday cottages’, or second homes, purchased by ‘incomers’ / since many indigenous folk have given up the crofting life for what they consider to be an easier, or more attractive living. / The weather here can be pretty unforgiving !! / Tarskavaig, on a day like this, sits in a very idyllic situation , with the Cuillin hills as a backdrop. The mountain here is known as ‘The Blaven’. Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, f22, with polarising filter, on tripod, single RAW file, processed in PS CS3 with Levels and Curves adjustments. LAB colour employed to saturate the colours. / The line of cottages was used to draw the eye into the scene.

Another picture from Skye taken a week or so ago. The tide coming in rapidly on Elgol beach with the Black Cuillin mountains in the distance. Long exposure of 30 secs @f16

Another one from my recent trip to Skye. It took me a while to process this one, but I’m glad I spent the time doing it. Taken on the beach at Elgol on the same day as the other similar one I posted. Different composition, same idea – I wanted to get a horizontal shot as I very rarely take them. I was drawn to this particular spot by the different coloured rocks, and the big rock in the bottom left corner which leads you round the edge of the water and back into the mountains again. Canon Eos 5D, 24mm TS-E at f22, ISO 100 for 8 seconds with a 1.2 ND and 0.6 ND grad

The Quiraing – Isle Of Skye / On past the Old Man of Stoor is the village of Staffin with the Sound of Raasay to the right and flat moor land like terrain to the left.A short way on from there is an area known as The Quiraing, a lonely desolate area with peculiar rock formations that dominate the area and rather prone to misty clouds and rain closing in at a very fast pace.In the old days the locals would hide their cattle and sheep up there from marauding rustlers.

This was taken on my first trip to Skye. I had camped out overnight, in order to make the most of the morning light. I had been down to the beach the previous evening in order to find locations, but as I was walking along the shore I saw the roundish rock glinting in the sun. I couldn’t resist stopping to make an image. I took a few shots and moved on – and am happy that I got the photo I wanted. Canon Eos 5D http://lewisgolbourn.redbubble.com/

Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, with polariser, underexposed by one stop to retain the darkness of the sky, f22, mounted on a tripod of course ! lens was my kit lens, 18-55mm Canon, which I no longer use having upgraded !

Beinn na Cailleach or Hill of the Old Woman, is one of the Red Cuillin hills that sits behind Broadford on the Isle of Skye. The view here is looking over the lochan of Cill Chroisd. ’’A Graham peak located towards the centre of the Isle of Skye, in Highland Council Area, Beinn na Caillich rises to 732m (2401 feet) 2½ miles (4 km) west of Broadford. The mountain is linked to Beinn Dearg Mhor (709m / 2325 feet) by a high pass. Another Beinn na Caillich, of almost the same height, is located 11 miles (17 km) to the east.’‘ ’’Beinn na Caillich (also spelt Beinn na Cailleach, and meaning the hill of the Old Woman) is 732 metres high and is a magnificent viewpoint, particularly for Broadford Bay which is almost between your feet. In 1772 noted geographer and traveller Thomas Pennant climbed the peak, the first recorded ascent of a Skye mountain. He was more impressed by the view in the opposite direction, writing ‘the prospect to the west was that of desolation itself; a savage series of rude mountains, discoloured, black and red, as if by the rage of fire. The serrated tops of Blaven affect with astonishment: and beyond them, the clustered height of Quillin.’. The mammoth cairn can be seen for miles around and is said to be the burial place of a Norwegian Princess from the time of the Viking occupation of Skye. According to legend, she wanted to feel the winds from her homeland around her grave.’‘ The primary meaning of ben is horn, hence peak. In Scotland the term in the oblique form, beinn, is extended to apply to any hill, without regard to shape, though traces of the old usage are common. The diminutive binnean always denotes a peaked hill, sometimes by no means diminutive in size. A mountain is a mountain in England, but when the climber is in Scotland it may be a beinn, a creag, or a meall, a spidean or sgor, a carn or monadh, a stuc or a torr.
