I’ve never seen Holy Isle so quiet. Instead of the sound of tourist chatter and dogs barking you could hear curlews and oystercatchers in the bay. A lovely early morning with some beautiful gentle light on the rocks. #photography #landscapephotography #photographers #nikon - ThreadSky

Really like the perspective you chose!

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks, no choice but to get down on my knees for that one!

stanmallis.bsky.social•41 days ago

Lovely photograph!

nadinthomson.co.uk•41 days ago

Not been there for years. Need to put it on the list for this year

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Yes all down that area of coast is a treasure trove for photography. And it’s not even 90 mins drive from me.

bobfunn.bsky.social•41 days ago

fantastic shot.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks Bob!

That’s a cracking composition Grant. Love the use of those rocks and their orientation upwards towards the castle.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks Andy. Glad I spotted it. I’d packed everything up 30 secs previously to head over the boats as well, and had to get it all out again.

That's a superb comp Grant. Love the pebbles nestled in the rocks.

Thank you, yes I’m glad they caught my eye!

Lovely image great viewpoint

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thank you, it definitely is a good spot if you can cope with the slippery rocks.

That’s a gem Grant, quite a different take on a well known location.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks Lorna. I did go down and look at the old rusty ring everyone has shot before, including me, but it just wasn’t working in the light.

pastandotherplaces.bsky.social•41 days ago

Stunning. Great composition.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks very much Kay.

Just beautiful!!!

rkphotographic.bsky.social•41 days ago

Superb image and lovely comp, really love the contrast of the rocks in the foreground and the softness of the light on the castle.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks Rob. Yes it was one of those shots you can “see” in camera but usually never come off in edit. Thankfully it did. You going to TPS this year?

rkphotographic.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ah yes I know the ones, have plenty of the ‘didn’t come off’ category 🤣

May do, it will depend on work which is crazy busy at the moment post LGR.

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Ah ok. You’ve not been asked to do anything then? It’s a long way, and too expensive in London. I’ll give it a miss.

rkphotographic.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ah yes it’s London isn’t, you’re right it’s way too expensive to warrant a trip down there.

No not been asked although normally I’m in Ardnamurchan workshopping in the run up so and up with a mad dash down to the show.

scottjessimanphoto.bsky.social•41 days ago

That's a beauty, need to get back here soon.

bulloch.photography•40 days ago

Just an hour down the road for you. You forget how close it is.

scottjessimanphoto.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah that's true, I don't know the area much. I should go for a scout. Next month perhaps 🤔

johnbleakley.bsky.social•41 days ago

Just excellent Grant. Love that fg detail and pov

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks John, much appreciated.

misteroy.bsky.social•41 days ago

Fab shot Grant. That reddish pebble really sets it off. It's been a few years since I was there!

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thanks Dave, yes glad I spotted it, though just after I’d packed up to go elsewhere!

ande91.bsky.social•41 days ago

Gorgeous

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

Thank you!

ianbartlett.bsky.social•41 days ago

Over the last few years on our annual daily visit we time it so we get ‘stranded’ for the period.

It’s a very different place when everyone else leaves! 👍

bulloch.photography•41 days ago

I can imagine, I’ve not done that yet but I do fancy it.
