"Pot of Gold" on the Isle of Skye

Photo courtesy of Martin J. Knight. Today's picture takes us "across the pond" to Scotland's Isle of Skye, a sparsely populated but extremely beautiful island located in the Inner Hebrides. Photographer Martin J. Knight took this striking photo just as God was painting one of His amazing masterpieces. The following is his story behind the image: "This photo was taken on the Isle of Skye at 2:07pm on December 29, 2007. On the North East coast of the Trotternish Peninsular (NE Skye) traveling from Uig to Staffin just past Duntulm Castle. (just out of shot to the left) as we rounded the bend this came into view. Anchors on, out of the car, and "snap"! I was in the right place at the right time for a change!"  --Martin J. Knight Here are the camera and settings used to capture the image: Camera: Fuji Finepix E550 Picture taking mode: Program Aperture: f/3.1 Shutter Speed: 350th ISO: 100   Visitor Comments...
