Description
Overview
I’ve teamed up with professional landscape photographer Nick Watson for this photography tour of Scotland’s beautiful Isle of Skye. We are both UK Brand Ambassadors for Formatt-Hitech, so we’ll have a collection of industry leading filters and accessories for everybody to use throughout our time together. But if you have your own, please also bring them.
We’ll be visiting several fantastic landscape photographic locations across the Isle of Skye, for example; Old Man of Storr, Isleornsay, Neist Point, Quirang, Loch Fada, Fairy Pools, plus, embarking on boat trips to photograph White Tailed Sea Eagles. We’ll also take some time to photograph the wonderfully characterful Highland Cattle! Throughout our time together we will be exploring and improving upon the skills and techniques associated with landscape and wildlife photography.

Recommended Equipment
We recommend an interchangeable lens mirrorless or DSLR camera with wide angle and telephoto lenses. Something around 300 – 400mm for the latter will be ideal.
A tripod and head is essential for the landscape photography. We have a range of Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters available for use but if you have your own, please bring them too. Spare batteries and memory cards are absolutely essential. We can do some sessions on photo processing using Adobe Lightroom, Capture One and Photoshop so a laptop can be useful if you have one.
Wellington boots, hiking boots etc are recommended and (lots of!) appropriate warm and waterproof clothing for the expected weather conditions.

Itineraries
| February 2021 | Details |
| 27th February | Travel and meet up on the Isle of Skye. We have limited availability to travel with us to Skye in our minibus from the north of England. Note, this is not included as part of the package and we offer it free of charge. |
| 28th February – 5th March | Six days of landscape and wildlife photography. Our itinerary throughout the week will be quite fluid and based upon the light, weather and tides. In addition to visiting the iconic landscape photography locations on the Isle of Skye, we’ve also booked four morning boat trips to photograph the White Tailed Sea Eagles over the Sound of Raasay. During the evenings we can eat, drink and be merry while talking photography etc or do some Lightroom and Photoshop sessions. Or, if you prefer some time alone, don’t worry – we’re flexible and won’t be offended! |
| 6th March | Leave Isle of Skye and head for home. |
Itinerary to be confirmed but will be similar to February 2021.

What our clients have to say…
I just wanted to thank you both for putting together a great week on Skye. As ever, it was energising and exhausting at the same time, but I’ve come away with some great images and better memories. I’ll need to go back for the eagle picture that I wanted, but that’s a good thing, because I love the whole area.
Best place to visit with the best group of people.
Accommodation
We’ll be staying at the Allt Dearg Cottage on the Isle of Skye. Same sex sharing will be required but rooms are large and comfortable. Please note, this is a self-catering trip. Broadford and Portree are well stocked for shops, pubs / restaurants and take-aways and we’ll be passing through these small towns regularly.
