These three shots were taken on the ferry to the Isle of Arran in Scotland.
The late afternoon light was fabulous and the scenery stunning but taking photos from the back of a boat presents its own set of problems.
The most infuriating one is that the boat keeps moving no matter what and you can only do much about the angle you can shot from. I was quite high up on the observation deck an the view was passing by me at quite a speed.
With this shot I would have loved to be able to move around a bit an get the composition just right but I only had seconds to snap it as we left the harbour and once it's gone it's gone!
There is always an element of luck with photography as even the best can't control everything. The trick is trying to anticipate things and be ready when that lucky moment comes along.
