Which lens were you using out of interest? The EXIF says 100mm, is that a 70-200 or something?

It's a nice shot, perhaps could so with a wee boost of the levels to remove the slight haze from the water.

Super pic of the Old Man, Blacksmith. Nice to see him close up! :)

This is the view from the other side. It was a long walk to the top (especially when you are as unfit as I am).

But, it looks like we all take the same photo...

This was from my Sony P&S - I was not going to take my proper lenses on the RIB - too much spray.

I can well reccomend a day out on the JO'G RIB to go around Hoy - it was great fun.
