Isle of Skye with Jeremy Walker

16-19 February 2023

Location: Isle of Skye, Scotland

Isle of Skye is one of the top locations to visit in Scotland. As paradise for landscape photographers it is like no other place in the UK, with stunning landscapes of rugged mountains, spectacular waterfalls and a remarkable coastline.

Join internationally recognised landscape pro Jeremy Walker as he shows you the best of Skye, including the iconic Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing and dramatic Cuillin Hills, the Fairy Pools Waterfalls and Neist Point Lighthouse.

Jeremy will be on hand to offer personal guidance out in the field, lectures, and constructive criticism on your photos.

Isle of Skye Itinerary

Day 1 (16/2) – Arrival in Isle of Sky and Lecture

Late in the afternoon we gather at our hotel in small village of Portree where you are met and greeted by Jeremy Walker and a host from Zoom Photo Tours. Before dinner Jeremy will do a location briefing for the coming days. He will also give you tips and advice on what you should think about when we are out on location. The evening will end with a dinner. (D)

Day 2-3 (17-18/2) – Photographing around Isle of Skye

The program would be subject to change when taking into account the weather and tides. Due to this the day by day program can be changed. We therefore present the photo highlights during the tour and not what day we will be visiting them.

A general rule of thumb is that we would be covering all the ‘must see’ locations on Skye. Jeremy will be there to help you with personal guidance when we are out photographing and but also help you during photo editing and to give you constructive criticism on your photos as well as general photo chat in the bar. Lunches will be served at the hotel or as a packed lunch. All dinner will be served at the hotel. (B, L, D)

Day 4 (19/2) – Morning photography and editing

In the early morning we will do our last photo session at the Cuillin Hills before we return to the hotel for breakfast. After breakfast we will gather in the conference room, for a Q&A session before we say our farewells and depart. (B)
