Location
This picture was taken from the Isle of Canna in the Inner Hebrides, on the West Coast of Scotland, from Tarbert Beach. It is looking over to the mountains of the Island of Rum. I am very lucky yo live here as it is very hard to take a bad photo, no matter hat the weather is like! From calm sunsets to mountainous , stormy waves, we have it all!Time
it was taken mid afternoon in early Spring on one of the rare 'calm' Spring days.Lighting
Lighting is rarely a problem in the Hebrides there is a very distinctive, natural light that is a gift to a photographerEquipment
I used the only photographic equipment I possess, yet, that is my Iphone5. I find living here, you need to have a camera to hand at all times , to catch that split second when the light is just perfect or the clouds are just in the right place- whip out the phone and catch that fleeting second..Inspiration
Something about the 'layers' struck me that is a word I use frequently about photography in the Scottish islands- the 'layers' of sand, sea, hills, cloud, just encompasses the whole landscape. Layers- 'Struthan' in Scottish GaelicEditing
Just a touch more blue to the sky to increase the contrast, but that was it!In my camera bag
My phone! Nowt else!Feedback
Just come to visit the Scottish Islands, you cant fail to get some of the best pictures you will ever take!
