Elgol Beach

We had actually planned to shoot a different location this evening and we were just scouting the beach of Elgol for the next morning's sunrise. But we figured we would really have to hurry to get at the other location in time, so we decided to stick around at Elgol. It was overcast and didn't look too promising. About half an hour before sunset I decided to pick a spot on the beach anyway and then things started to get interesting. There was a opening in the clouds right on the horizon where the sun would set. It was just this small opening that was needed for this sunset to end up in the most spectacular sunset I've ever photographed. To be able to shoot this sunset at Elgol, which is regarded as one of the most beautiful spots on the Isle of Skye, was pretty special :).
