Talisker Bay
Talisker Bay is a stunning location on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, that offers breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the Cuillin Mountains. This picturesque bay is a popular destination for photographers, as it provides a wealth of opportunities to capture the beauty of the Scottish landscape. The beach is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and rock formations, and the crystal-clear waters of the bay reflect the changing colors of the sky. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, otters, and seabirds, making it an ideal spot for nature photography.
Going back to Scotland again, this time the fantastic Talisker Bay, Isle of Skye.
I was lucky to get this image as we had got here later than we would have liked due to Mike's car unfortunately getting 2 punctures from a massive pothole the previous day and the resulting need to be recovered from Portree to Broadford to the only place that had 2 tyres the right size.. Complete nightmare but at least there were 2 tyres on the Island that fitted or it could have been a whole lot worse....!
When we got here after a walk on a path that was more like 'ice rink' the sun was already really low and I had to work really quickly to try and get it 'bursting' against the cliff in the gap between the sea stack.
All fingers and thumbs I managed to drop my polariser several times, somehow it landing on sand (thankfully) each time instead of on the big rocks dotted all around the place.
But it all worked out and I'm pleased with this one, we managed quite a few shots from this location as even after the sun had dropped the light remained decent for quite a while, followed by a really stormy sky that rolled in after sunset, amazingly no kit broken at this location, which is getting increasingly rare for me !
Mike has done a great vlog of this trip to Skye in several parts, well worth a watch, they can be found here:
Although it was wet and windy, it made for an atmospheric visit to Talisker Bay on the west coast of the Isle of Skye. This is a remote spot on the Minginish Penisula, so you won't encounter crowds of people. The sand is a strange mix of fine white/yellow and a coarser black sand, hence the patterns in the foreground.
Thanks very much for all the views, faves and comments - much appreciated!

Talisker Bay didn't disappoint but conditions were tricky. This is to be expected though on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
Thanks to all Phoide contributors to Talisker Bay!
