Sgurr an Fhidhleir

Sebastian Kraus, Ullapool, Scotland

Scotland’s landscape is simply incredible. I had to have a go at shooting this landmark in early spring when the sun lights up the rocks of Sgurr an Fhidhleir. After a cloudy start and in high wind, decent light seemed unlikely, but patience paid off. A small crack between the clouds gave me this warm, magical light that I will never forget. A few minutes of perfection enabled me to shoot four horizontal frames at different exposures that I then stitched into this HDR panorama later.
