The Isle of Skye is simply one of the most dramatic looking island in the world.

It has snowcapped mountains, rugged coastlines, castles, stone temples, waterfalls that plunge into the sea, green farming pastures and massive lakes (lochs). Add a completely unpredictable weather pattern and you have all the right ingredients for landscape/travel photography.
The island is surprisingly large and would take at least one full day of continuous driving to circle. Quite conveniently, the island is split into four main clusters of attractions. We had four days on Skye and planned spending a day in each section, but due to the weather, decided to skip the south east. You could easily spend a month in Skye and still have plenty to photograph.

South African Fine Art Landscape Photographer Mitchell Krog has quickly risen to become one of South Africa’s top Landscape Photographers. His breathtaking images have captured the attention of audiences around the world and he never fails to produce bleeding edge photography no matter where he travels to. Mitchell has been published on a number of occasions and has become a regular contributor of article and images to photographic and lifestyle magazines.
Mitchell regularly travels to all corners of South Africa and abroad to keep bringing high class quality images to the Photographic Market Place. He is regularly featured on a number of internet forums and communities and has contributed thousands of hours to helping budding photographers to improve their game.

Mitchell has also developed a very fine eye for black and white photography and has produced a number of spectacular black and white seascape images on his trips around South Africa. Black and White photography, says Mitchell, despite this colourful world we live in, remains to be one of the most powerful mediums of photography. When the colour is stripped away we get down to the basics and simplicity of life. Black and white photographers have to have a keen eye for tones, contrasts, textures and especially light, without which a black and white image would be dull and dreary. Black and white or sometimes referred to as Monotone or Monochrome, captures the very soul and essence of nature.

Mitchell also travels abroad and captured a variety of magical images on his trip to Scotland earlier in 2009. Covering over 2700 kilometres by vehicle and approximately 30-40 kilometers on foot, well lets just say this trip was not one of resting and Mitchell showed his total dedication to going the extra “mile” to find those incredible images he keeps producing. Mitchell was awarded First Runner Up for his image Sentinels in the first South African PIX Awards of 2009.
