Slideshow - Isle of Skye -Dec 2010.

Earlier this month I attended a photographic workshop with my favourite landscape and portrait photographer, Bruce Percy, on the wild isle of Skye, Scotland.

I booked the course in February and due to the weather almost had my hopes dashed after the snow came down. I had already had a holiday cancelled this year due to the Icelandic Volcano so despite half the group not being able to get to Skye due to cancelled flights, I drove the 720 miles through snow and ice to get there !!!

We had the most amazing week, wonderful light, snow showers, storms and only a little rain. These are the best images I made, with some direction in both composition and editing from Bruce.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to improve their photography skills take a workshop as it really does accelerate the learning process.

All images made using a Nikon D700, Zeiss 21 & 28mm Distagon and 50 % 85mm Planar lenses. Lee graduated and Pro Glass ND filters and SIngh-Ray Reverse Grad ND Filters used with Gitzo Systematic tripod and RRS ball head. All shots fired using mirror lockup and cable shutter release.

As a photographic tutor, Bruce is a great mentor, see more about him at www.brucepercy.co.uk or www.lightonscotland.co.uk for details of his workshops.

Bruce is an amazing teacher and photographer. His whole approach and technique have had me hooked since I staretd out just nearly two years ago.

I have learnt more from him about photography in a five day workshop and thorough reading his blog than I could have ever learnt in a magazine.

That's why my third workshop with him will be on the Inner Hebridean isle of Eigg this September.
