Skye’s the limit
Iam an amateur photographer who lives in Suffolk and first picked up a camera in 2019, since then I have tried various photography genres, however I have developed a keen interest in landscape photography. In October 2023, myself and a group of like-minded friends visited the Isle of Skye.
As you will appreciate, the landscape on Skye is hugely different to that in Suffolk, for starters there are no hills in Suffolk to speak of. At this time of year we were blessed with the shorter days, resulting in a later sunrise and an earlier sunset, plus the bonus of sites being less busy. So there were few very early starts, at least not every day.
Despite having driven up to Skye through Storm Ciaran and bearing in mind the time of year, we were very lucky to experience some good weather. Although it was cold, we had several days of sunshine and surprisingly it remained dry all week, which has resulted in great light.
