During a self-assigned photographic trip to the Isle of Islay, I spent several evenings exploring the island’s rugged Atlantic coastline near the Lagavulin Distillery.
On this particular night I was watching the horizon, waiting for the full moon to rise above the distant Kintyre Peninsula. In the long northern twilight—what the Scots call the gloaming—the sky slowly deepened into a rich blue while the sea remained almost perfectly still.
Working with a long lens, I waited until the moon cleared the horizon and positioned it above a low strip of offshore rock. Its reflection stretched across the water in a quiet vertical line, anchoring the composition against the vast Atlantic beyond.
The photograph was made on Fuji Provia transparency film, whose cool twilight tones rendered the scene with remarkable depth and subtlety.
