I shot across this sea-loch, directly into the late-morning sun, amplifying the contrast in the sky and throwing the land into shadow. Shooting 'contre-jour' is a powerful way of introducing drama. Everything is being illuminated from the rear and because we are viewing the shadow side of everything, scenes become desaturated, more monochrome. This desaturation is a welcome counterbalance to the phenomenal contrast in the scene, the addition of colour might have been too overpowering.
