Scottish Landscape Shetland Panoramic Photography

“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera." - Lewis Hine

A sea kayaking trip to Shetland in 2015 provided me with an opportunity to compile a number of wide angle panoramas, some from my sea kayak and others taken from land.

Mousa Broch, photographed from the sea is followed up by a series of panoramas on the island of Mousa. The following day, the top of the hill at North Ness on Papa Stour provided a superb viewpoint in every direction. Over on the west coast, the grantite pinnacles of The Drongs are truly spectacular (there were, of course, many other photographs taken whilst kayaking around The Drongs). After a great paddle around Esha Ness, the nearby coast provided further opportunities for panoramic sea kayak photography. Our last day was spent at Sumburgh Head and this part of the collection features panoramas of Sumburgh Head, Jarlshof settlement and Clickimin Broch.

Sutherland is one of my favourite sea kayaking areas and there’s just so much of interest along the coast.

The panoramas below are from Mol Ban Beach on Oldany Islnd near Drumbeg. We'd kayaked from Clashnessie around Oldany Island and stopped for a scenic bite to eat on this beatiful beach.

Read the blog post for this trip and enjoy the sea kayaking photography, complete with interactive map.

Loch Glascarnoch - Easter Ross

Loch Glascarnoch Dam

Created in 1957 as part of the Conon hydro electric scheme, Loch Glascarnoch is dammed at its eastern end.

Surrounded by the Fannaich hills, it's a great place for "big landscape" photography. Snow capped An Teallach can be seen in the distance to the west whilst Am Faochagach sits on the northern flank of the loch.

Tarbat Ness Lighthouse - Easter Ross
