STORY BEHIND THE SHOT
In Pinn and the Moon
A bracing hike gave Nick a more unusual perspective for this shot
My colleague Marcus and I made an early start on a very cold winter morning, to walk to a viewpoint where we could photograph the snow-covered Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye from a more unique angle. As I crested a hill, I could see the moon above the ridge and had to run through knee-high snow to get into a position where I could place it in a gap to the left of the Inaccessible Pinnacle before it disappeared out of view.
