Honorable Mention / 2024 / Fine Art / Landscape

Isle of Skye, Scotland, Infrared Panorama

Isle of Skye is one of the most spectacular landscapes in beautiful Scotland.

The raw nature and its magical beauty have been a source of admiration and inspiration for artists for hundreds of years.

In this project I wanted to highlight not only that great geology and very well-known landscapes, but I also wanted to accentuate attention on its beautiful sky with wonderful cloud formations.

I decided to take the photos in infrared with up to 6 photos as a panorama.
