This is a small Audio & Visual presentation of a single day photographing various locations on the Isle of Skye.
Photographing Sunrise at the Cullins, braving harsh winter snow storms at the frozen Loch nan Eilean to very windy sunset at Neist Point lighthouse this small video shows some of the locations I visited and photographed on my first visit to the Isle of Skye in Feb 2019 - I hope you enjoy.
MORNING SUNRISE:
Fire & Ice: 01:04
Track leading to Alltdearg House under the Cullin Mountains at Sunrise. Whispers of snow clouds are set alight by the morning sun as it rises above the horizon.
Dawning of Days: 01:21
The moment before dawn when the never-light catches the cullin mountains. The Cuillin is a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The main Cuillin ridge is also known as the Black Cuillin to distinguish it from the Red Cuillin, which lie to the east of Glen Sligachan.
The Lochen of the Snowy Glen: 01:59
Cold and bitter winter snow storms pass through the glen freezing the icy waters of Loch nan Eilean and me the photographer
AFTERNOON:
The Old Boat: 03:00
Ye Old Boat: 03:17
Faoleann an Train (Derelict Boats )
One of the old disused and cast aside fishing boats that make up the boat graveyard near Carbost, Loch Harport
EVENING SUNSET:
Neist Point Lighthouse: 04:14
Neist Point View: 04:36
Neist Point Lighthouse and Cliff Top View
Windy conditions, broken clouds and strong directional sunlight suggested that the sunset would be spectacular, it wasn't to be.
Neist Point is one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland and can be found on the most westerly tip of Skye near the township of Glendale
Neist Point Lighthouse, designed by David Alan Stevenson, was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages. Since 1990, the lighthouse has been operated remotely from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters in Edinburgh.

![Isle of Skyes Secret Location? | Seascape Photography Scotland
Is the Ornsay Lighthouse the best unknown location for Photography on the Isle of Skye? Photographing a lighthouse just after stormy conditions is one thing, photographing the Ornsay Lighthouse after a storm passed on over a much forgotten part of the Isle of Skye with snow capped mountains as the backdrop was just something else!
Designed by engineers Thomas and David Stevenson, Isle Ornsay Lighthouse was established on 10th November 1857 and for all these years until the decline of steamers from the mainland of Scotland has continued, albeit in lower numbers, to protect shipping in and around the sleat peninsula.
Im humbled to have have had the opportunity to photograph it from the Skye village of Isleornsay, on my recent photographic adventure on the island as this location provides stunning views over the sea to the small island of Ornsay, where the lighthouse is situated.
To say its picturesque is an understatement, Isleornsay and Ornsay Lighthouse is simply breath taking and Im so very surprised that its not covered or featured more heavily by photographers, in fact perhaps thats the very reason it isnt. There are honey pot locations and then there are locations like Isleornsay.
For me photographing the Ornsay Lighthouse was an absolute treat after a morning of torrential rain and poor weather following storm Dudley, I remember looking out of the window at our Air B&B in the morning thinking that photography on the Isle of skye might be written off for the next few days, how very wrong was I. Come the mid afternoon, the flat grey skies and constant rain had passed. The light of the day was beginning to soften and we as a group decided more effort was needed to be put into our photography. With a suitable the break in the conditions and on a whim we packed are camera gear and waterproofs and decided to visit Isleornsay, which is one of the lesser known or visited locations on the Isle of Skye.
Im so glad we did take a chance on this location. The others were less enthused, but I was excited and rightfully so as I feel as though the series of images made that afternoon are some of my most satisfying images and photos that I have taken so far in 2022.
Whilst taking finding my compositions and setting up my shots the conditions of the afternoon ranged from squally showers, bringing in sleet and hail and short sharp downpours of rain followed by moments of complete calm and early spring sunshine, the seagulls larked about on the wind and a few bobbed around in the waters as the stormy clouds above raced above and onward to the distant Scottish mainland far away.
My images of the Ornsay lighthouse were further complemented with jaw dropping snow capped mountains, poking out from the passing storm clouds whilst the soft storm light of late afternoon made for some outstanding photography conditions. I couldnt have asked for more.
Im sure those who are still reading this have picked up on the fact that I was quite taken by this location and the images I have managed to produced, and if Im honest, Im hankering to get back again at some point.
Several of the images have now been printed and have pride of place in my home, additional prints are available. Please let me know your favorite image from the video in the comments section below.
Until the next video, take care all
Geoff.

![Chasing Storm Ciara: Epic Waves and Wind at Porthcawl Lighthouse
My first time photographing a storm at the coast, epic waves breaking over Porthcawl Lighthouse as storm Ciara hits the west coast of the United Kingdom
Join me as I photograph epic waves breaking over Porthcawl Lighthouse during a storm. This was my first time photographing a storm at the coast and it was incredibly challenging due to the 70-80mph winds, sea spray, and poor light. Despite the difficulties, I captured some breathtaking images.
Highlighted technique: Seascape photography in challenging conditions
Location: Porthcawl Lighthouse, United Kingdom
Main takeaway: The difficulty of capturing images during a storm and the importance of proper planning and preparation
