St Kilda

That is one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen, I love the rainbow in the left, the dark and blue sky in the middle, the green and blue water, the hills, the cloud movement\shapes. Superb.
 
I thought I would add to your growing admirers. This for me is one of the best landscapes I have seen. Truly outstanding! Although you have set yourself a high standard now mate. I look forward to seeing your future work. ;)
 
I love it Tom. Really nice work indeed. Glad to see that you time on St Kilda is being fruitfull. How is the counting of rodents going (That is why you are out there isn't it?)
 
Wow, thanks everyone for the comments, they're somewhat better than I was expecting. I think the ridiculous nature of the place is distracting you all from the smudgy bits and dodgy joins you'd normally be picking on :p

Awesome, inspiring, brilliant.

Nice one, something to be proud of! Get it framed and put in the village pub. They will love that and you might just get free beer!

Just had another look, the sky seems a bit 'too blue' in that gap in the clouds. Really like the way the image warms up accross the section as you pan accross it. It really is a nice shot but for me would be even better if that patch of deep dark blue was a bit softer. I find the image leads my eyes into that blue hole between the clouds.

The pub on St Kilda is already insanely cheap - well, I say pub, its a bar in the MOD base but the fact that I can drink pints of G+T all night and buy a round for everyone in there and my tab still only come to £20 is pretty amazing!

Agree totally on the overly blue patch of sky, its already in my list of things to fix.

I'd love to have that as a back ground also.


I've tried to get to St.Kilda a few times on my own boat but the weather and the ridiculously big waves always force me to abandon the attempt.

We went out from Harris with a great guy called Angus, who also runs day trips when the weather is good - this is his boat. The trip out there was uneventful but coming back in a Force 8 with big swell was incredibly fun!

Cheers dude. The 2 weeks I just did was mainly to help with the sheepie project, but I got some preliminary trapping done for the mice and everything seemed to work well, so hopefully when I get out there for my first proper field season it should all run smoothly. Don't start officially for another week.

As for desktops, I don't normally release stuff in high res but seeing as you're all being so nice I might consider it :p. It's a bit long for most, can either have the whole thing with black borders at top and bottom, or I can crop out the bit with the rainbow?
 
Awesome photo, couldn't find a single thing wrong with it if I wanted too. Looks like some kind of fantasy landscape with the clouds and the rainbow. Amazing.
 
The detail in the large one is stunning, I've seen loads of St.Kilda pictures and this has to be my favorite. Much appreciated :)


I've got some pics of an attempt to get to St.Kilda on my home PC but I find still photos dont give you a real feel of the scale of the waves and the violent movement. We only got as far as Castle Bay in Barra before storm force winds hit and we got stuck there for 3 days. Still I'll have another go maybe next year.
 
Wow King. That's an amazing photo. I generally don't comment on other peoples photos much here, even when they're good, but wow, that first shot is stunning.

Would love to get something like that printed onto a canvas - would be even nicer if it was my own shot! :p
