In this video, I’m at the Isle of Skye photographing the iconic Old Man of Storr, but with a twist. While most photographers stick to the famous “Photographer’s Ledge,” I often venture further up to photograph it from above the shelf.
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of running another workshop north of the border. While on Skye, I wanted to demonstrate how to think outside the box.
The ledge is a “honeypot” location for a reason, it’s stunning, but the downside is that you often end up with the same images as everyone else.
It often pays to look for a different angle and find a unique perspective on a classic landscape.
⚠️ A Word of Warning:
The route above the ledge involves a difficult scramble up and an even trickier descent. Please only attempt this if you are an experienced hiker and comfortable with steep, technical terrain.
Enjoy the video!
