Icing Sugar Quiraing

Quiraing, Skye, Scotland.

I confess I have had this one in my files for around two months and I love it. It is my new favourite Quiraing shot taken during and after a rare winter squall shortly after sunrise and features something I refer to as co-luminous light (coloured luminous light), indirect and multi-hued. Snow amplifies the effect because it is light and reflects the colour of the light that glows above it and in this case it comes from both gaps in the sky and from the large pink and yellow tinged clouds that were boiling overhead. I took half a dozen shots but stayed for an hour gazing at the unraveling spectacle in complete awe.

NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses and fine art cards are now available at TRANSIENT LIGHT

Fantastic icy scene - adds drama and wonderful contrast. What a crazy landscape - no wonder you love this place
