Dramatic Landscape Photography – Isle of Skye

Dramatic landscape photography makes for interesting imagery. Lovely landscape views can be totally transformed with the inclusion of a dramatic and moody sky. Clearly these are less likely to be the “chocolate box” type of images required of postcard and calendar manufacturers.

However, I believe they show the real drama of these locations as the dark foreboding sky reinforces the sense of isolation, loneliness and harshness of these types of environment.

This collection of dramatic landscape photography images are taken from our last visit to the Isle of Skye, the largest island within the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland (** Note : Skye is now connected by a bridge to the Scottish mainland and because of this many people no longer consider Skye to be an island, most notably Hamish Haswell-Smith in his book Scottish Islands who says “Rules are rules, and having decided that the bridge destroys insularity there was no other option ….. no longer qualifies for inclusion.” ).

Nonetheless the Isle of Skye is still a terrific place to visit and often offers unlimited dramatic landscape photography opportunities.
