Eiði
North-west corner of Eysturoy, looking out at the Risin og Kellingin sea stacks.

Eiði is best known for the view north to the two sea stacks — the giant and the witch — and for the old football pitch on the headland, which is one of the more photographed sports grounds anywhere.
This is an exposed north-facing coast. Wind here is stronger than the forecast for Tórshavn suggests.

How do I get the shots without wasting the trip?
Photographing the Faroe Islands
Light, access and weather windows — and the places where a tripod is not welcome.
How bad is the weather really, and how do I plan for it?
Faroese weather, and planning around it
Not cold, rarely still, and different on two sides of the same island. Plan flexibly rather than optimistically.
What is driving here actually like?
Driving in the Faroe Islands
Short distances, excellent roads, and a few things — single-lane tunnels, sheep, tolls — that catch people out.
