As I set out on my journey towards the western outpost on the Isle of Scalpay, I was prepared for the long and arduous trek that lay ahead. The driving rain and biting strong wind made each step feel like an insurmountable obstacle. Nevertheless, with nothing but my determination pushing me forward, I continued on, driven by the prospect of capturing beautiful photographs and potentially spotting a minky whale.

Despite the challenging weather conditions, I arrived at Eilean Glas with my camera at the ready, eager to capture the stunning scenery before me. With a shutter speed of 120 seconds, I knew I was ambitious, but I refused to let that deter me. As I clicked away, I felt a surge of adrenaline and excitement building within me. It was a moment of pure elation when I finally saw the results of my perseverance – a truly exquisite photograph. I’m overjoyed to share this moment with you, and I hope you enjoy the final image.
