[TR] A boat trip, and a walk to Sgurr na Stri to Elgol on Skye

[rdpounder]

OH
MY
GOD!

When the weather's right it really doesn't look like there's any beating Skye.  Some really great photos there.

I especially like the stag ones, especially the first one where it kind of blends in with the mountain and you don't notice it at first.

Awesome.  I love the reds in the first pictures.  And Skye looks soooooooo  wonderful.   I wanna go!


Thanks for the pics, they're truly wonderful.

What brilliant photos...Wow! the sunsets... amazing.  Me and PP are going to Skye in March 2012 for two weeks walking, sooooo looking forward to it.

Great shots Pete - whet my appetite now. How did you find the filter set?

Wonderful Pete - absolutely beautiful.  Brings back lots of very special memories.
 
So do you think the view of the Cuillins from Sgurr Na Stri is the 'best in Britain'?

Come rain or shine it's a magical place..but I reckon you've alraedy heard that

They worked ok down on the beach at Elgol, and a few on the Quirang, but I need a bit of practice. I need a spirit level as well My eyeline seems to sag down to the right

It's right up there with the best Matt - I could have spent ages up on top there. The beauty is the steepness below your feet and nothing to get in the way of the views

You were there in spirit Howie...it peed it down frequently. Great place and well worth the visit

What can I say mate, except brilliant. The stag pictures were exceptional IMO. 
 
Glad you enjoyed it Pete and pleased you got a fair share of good weather.

Some superb photos in there Pete but especially like the 4th one on the first comment thread. The sky's (no pun intended!) is amazing on that one!

Steve and Micky - glad you enjoyed them

The Stag was very close - I couldn't believe my luck really.

The sunset shots were my first try out with a proper tripod and using a filter advised by the master...Granty They turned out OK-ish

I'll be putting a few general ones of Skye up soon...unless you're getting bored

Superb Pete - please do show us more........

Not at all bored mate, keep them pictures coming.

It was like Autumnwatch without the cameras

Whoa Pete those are some stunners on there, I could sit and look at them all day. the first ones in this post, the skies look just like a Man U shirt dont they 

It looks such a peaceful place to be your jaw must have been dropping a lot of the time, and to see a stag so close as well! It looks a noble creature doesnt it?

Pleased you had the great weather too eh! It doesnt get better than this. Im goin to have to get up there one of these days.... thanks for posting these 

[PistonPete]

Keep posting them up Pete can't wait.  I did a walk down Glen Sligachan and back to the ridge just NNW of Sgurr Hain.  It's not as high up as where you were, but the weather was brilliant (19 March 2009) and I got this shot of the Black Cuiilin from the Ridge.



Next year must do the Bad Step walk to Camasunary and on to Kirkibost.
