p.1 #1 · The Quiraing , Isle of Skye (4)


The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northern-most summit of the Trotternish Ridge near the north-east coast of the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving and the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.

1. Panoramic view looking east .
2, 4. Closer views looking east .
3. From the single-track approach road .

This looks like a great place. Number one is my favorite but it looks a little too HDR-ish. The shadows don't quite seem dark enough... No biggie though, still a nice shot.

Nice set -

Both the available light and you processing shine in image #2, I really like the darker shadows and contrast.

Hey Adrian,

What a cool area! You captured it really well, with clouds and blue skies! #2 and 3 are probably my favorites, but they are all special.

Awesome shots, Adrian. I especially like the softness of light and the addition of living creatures in the 3rd.

Thank you for sharing these pics. I can only hope to be able to see this country though my own eyes someday.

Always love to see your Scotland photos. Taking the family there next summer for 3 weeks. Can't wait! Hope I come away with photo's that come at least close to the ones you have displayed so far. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful scenes, Colonel! Man that's a island filled with rugged terrain. I particularly like the deeper shadows in the 2nd, but they're all quite enjoyable.

Beautiful series, Adrian. I love them all, but I really like the lighting and shapes in #2, so I'm picking that as the favorite.

great shots here Adrian,
i was there at dawn, and was most magical.

Gorgeous set here, Colonel. The closer view of the 2nd and lovely saturation against the darker blue
skies makes this a winner for me.

Lovely series. My favourite is no1, but with the processing/contrast of no2. Good to see you had some half decent weather. Did you climb up into the Quirang and take some photos?, the view from there is fantastic and very unworldly when covered in mist.

A beautiful collection, Adrian. All very nicely done. Particularly like the depth of the color in the second shot.

Cheers,
