Parked close to the lighthouse and then headed out on a two mile trek to TheĀ Old Man of Stoer sea stack. Shot the lighthouse from a couple of different points. This one is a 61 second exposure at f/13 using a 6-stop Little Stopper and 3-stop ND grad.
Returned to the car at night and found it surrounded by a herd of cows who were reluctant to move! As a parting gesture they kindly left a dent in one of the rear doors! š

The photo above (CanispĀ to the left and Suilven to the right) was made from Loch Druim Suardalain and the oneĀ of SuilvenĀ below from the River Kirkaig. Visible from throughout the Assynt regionĀ Suilven dominates the landscape and is striking in appearance. One of theĀ oldestĀ rocks in the world, Gneiss, is visible onĀ Canisp’s surface.
These photos are from a recent two week visit to Assynt. Based in the lovely town of Ullapool I photographed the mountains Suilven, Canisp, Quinag andĀ SĆ il Gharbh. I also photographed Loch Druim Suardalain, the River Kirkaig, Stoer Head Lighthouse and The Old Man of Stoer sea stack. Will be kept busy editing the results!
