Skye is notorious for its fickle and inclement weather but it is equally famous for is quality of lighting on the rare occasions the sun finds a way through the cloud base that seems to permanently hang over the cliffs around Trotternish. Dawn had been pleasant enough without being particularly stunning but shortly after we were treated to some exceptional lemon sunlight raking beneath blue tinged clouds and slamming into the velvet green hills. That was good enough but for the briefest of periods the light left the immediate foreground and concentrated its attention on the valley floor the juxtaposition of lit to unlit and the amazing light quality produced a truly world class performance which I was very grateful to capture on film.
