Mangersta Slang

Posted by
Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 9 March 2023 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The Mangersta Slang is an area of towering cliffs and huge sea stacks on the Isle of Lewis. We got there a little late, so the cliffs were shadowing many of the stacks, creating difficult shooting opportunities. We were also on the top of the cliff, shooting down. I didn't see any way to approach from below except by boat. There was a very narrow strip of "beach" at the base of some of the cliffs, and that might not even be there depending on tides and sea activity.

I have not visited Isle of Lewis but I like this impressive rocks. Sometimes you have to go to a lot of trouble to take a picture and sometimes you risk injury if you slip or fall. Fortunately this was not the case for you.

Excellent view of this stunning and rugged coastline. I do not mind the dark stacks at all - the contrast they provide adds to the already superb depth and dimension in this scene. Congratulations on the Spotlight, Harry!

@Darkelf Photography: I composed taking the shadows into account. There were stacks nearer to me that had a sharp horizontal shadow cast by the cliff I was standing on. But thank you for the compliment.
