As part of our photo workshop on the Isle of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, our guides took us to Mangersta Sea Stacks. I was instantly drawn to these sea stacks as they are remarkably similar to those in my home state of Oregon.

We were hoping for stormy weather with crashing waves and dramatic skies, but the ocean was calm, and the sky was cloudless except for a few wisps near the horizon. Most of our group was heading back to our van after a less-than-stunning sunset, but I recognized that the dusk light had great potential, so I set up my gear quickly and made a few exposures before rushing to catch up with the others.
