Elgol is an iconic destination for seascape photographers. The views to the north-west across the bay to the Black Cuillin mountains are perhaps the most photogenic, but it's always worth considering alternative views, especially in such a well photographed location. I chose to point my camera south-west, framing this wonderful sprawling rock formation with Soay on the horizon to the right and the Isle of Rum fading into the distance on the left side. Elgol feels like a profoundly spiritual place, evoking a primeval perception, a sense of ancient majesty; I wanted to create an image that encapsulated such powerful feelings.
