A few years ago, I organized a photo trip with friends in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. We spent one week in the Glencoe region and a second on the Isle of Skye. The Highlands are truly a photographer’s paradise. To plan the trip, I relied mainly on the Landscape Photographer’s Guide for both regions, having bought the eBooks on LPM’s website.

On September 17 at 18:22 I took this shot of the castle. You can see rays of light in the distant background. I took the car and headed to these mysterious rays of light. At 18:48 I took a shot that is published on my LPM portfolio.

Reviewing my images after the shoot, and still staying on Isle of Skye, I was not totally satisfied with my Castle image. I decided to go back the day after, September 18. At 20:00 the tide would be higher showing less debris on the water and the light would be better. So at 20:15 on the 18th, I took a 15 sec exposure shot. This lovely image is published on my LPM portfolio.

My LPM portfolio contains more than 20 images taken in this paradise.

For me, the Scottish Highlands are a real photographers' paradise, now you understand why!
