About this spot
Loch Bhaltois is a stunningly beautiful loch on the Isle of Lewis, and the boathouse is a must-see for any photographer visiting the area. The boathouse is a picturesque little building nestled on the edge of the loch, and it makes for a great subject for photos. The surrounding scenery in the background is just as beautiful, and you're sure to get some amazing shots of the loch, the mountains, and the boathouse.
Experiment with different viewpoints to capture the boathouse in all its glory. From the hilltop, you'll gain a sense of separation between the boathouse and the majestic mountains that tower behind it. Venture closer to the loch's shore and witness the boathouse standing proudly against the backdrop of the mountains.
On a windless day, try using an ND filter and a long exposure to smooth out the water's surface, creating a serene and picturesque scene.
