Story Behind The Image
I spent the entire morning trying to take a picture of The Old Man of Storr. Not just any picture, but the picture I would be really satisfied with, otherwise for me it’s like going back home with nothing. And it wasn’t easy. The wind was so strong that I could barely stand, not to mention my tripod. There was almost no visibility for most of the time and it was raining once in a while. So every time I spotted a small chance for a sunny spell that would reveal the shape of Old Man, I was waiting ready to take a shot. Unfortunately, it got even worse, everything was hidden behind the white wall of mist. It was impossible to have a picture that would look even slightly different than a white sheet of paper, literally.
Sometimes you just have to let it go but for sure not give up. When I drove my car to another location the weather has changed drastically and finally the first sunshine hit The Storr. It was still very cloudy so I knew it wasn’t going to last for long. I stopped my car, jumped over the fence and went through the muddy and boggy ground for a better angle. I set my camera as quick as I could and took the picture I was finally thrilled to get. In the next minute, the light was gone behind the clouds leaving the hills dark and flat looking again.
