I want to reiterate what Adelheid said. The shooting location is INCORRECT. That is on private land (No entry signs) and the actual view of the Sentinels is actually from roadside. This cost me 30 mins near dawn trekking to the wrong location. Gorgeous shots from Will but he needs to withdraw /amend that map and incorrect GPS coordinates.

The placements on the map are opposite to what they should be. The photo was taken from the northern shore looking south.

Now the place is correct? because when see pictures taken on same place in google maps, we not see little trees on the left side like in the picture, or you have took the picture with a long focale ?
