Title: Dark, moody Elgol, Isle of Skye

A dark, moody take at Elgol's shore, taken during one of the Workshops I led on the Isle of Skye in Scotland last spring. Leica SL, Voigtlander 15mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters.

The patterns in the rocks seem to mirror the clouds, this is really nice.

The mood is indeed very dark but it suits the place perfectly.

Thank you very much Francois! It was such a gloomy day, I am glad I could pass that on to the viewer! :)

Best regards,

masterful example of composition, capture, editing. Taste and technique, no doubt.
I do not like watermarks, but it's a problem of mine....

Thank you very much Sandro for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed it! :) About the WM, for me it is a necessary evil, I do see your point though. In truth, for me photos should not be seen on a screen to begin with, I do believe that prints are the only way to truly appreciate a good photograph... but the advantages of digital to share is undeniable, and so I guess we both have to accept digital's strength, limitations and quirks ;)

Best regards,
