Told to expect clouds of mist, wet weather and a moody atmosphere I had packed all my wet weather gear in preparation. The forecast on the day we arrived on Skye agreed with those who had hiked the Old Man of Storr previously, stating we had a good chance of rain and 90% cloud coverage. Alas, we went for it anyway and after dinner set out for a hike at 9pm…I’m a huge fan of northern summer nights with late sunsets! With the sun setting around 10:15pm we had about an hour to get to the top and capture any colours that may occur in the skies above Skye. Ten minutes into the uphill hike I took a photo ‘break’ to catch my breath, looking up I realised this might not be as easy as everyone had made out! Or I’m just supremely crap at walking up hills.

If you’re all about finding the best view, want to photograph the details people walk past on the hiking trail or just like venturing that tiny bit further to see what’s on the other side; this post is for you! Being prepared for an adventure photography trip is essential to ensure you can enjoy the experience and focus on your photographs rather than your equipment and clothing. Once you’ve decided on where you’re going it’s just a matter of being aware of the conditions you might come across, what type of photos you’re hoping to take and then comes the fun part…shopping! I don’t know about you but there is something about visiting a camping or outdoors store that makes me feel like the trip is already starting. Or is it just me that hides in the tents at Anaconda?
