Western Ocean

Posted by Alistair Keddie (Glasgow, United Kingdom) on 20 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Across the beach on Berneray towards the open sea and the offshore island of Spuir silhoutted against an intense sunset crack squeezing between the darkening sky and sea.

I'd travelled to Berneray specifically to shoot long exposures in the extended summer twilight of late July when, at this

time of year, it seldom gets fully dark. I wanted to return, in my opinion to the finest beach in Scotland, after a similar shoot here with a poorer camera a few years previous. In all I managed two nights where the conditions turned out right with light bouncing from the sea below the horizon to light the cloud layer above and also produce some intense after sunset colour. A remarkable place, and one that changes all the time. feel so lucky to have been there and photographed late into the Hebridean night.

I want to start a kind of link thing going to photography I find inspiring, you know, end each post with a link to someone else's work that just makes me go wow... So to begin, I found this guy in through National Geographic (as you do) and am blown away by the arctic imagery he is producing. Follow it up, you will not be disappointed...
