Say what you want about the quality of the story and characters, but the visuals and cinematography were absolutely astounding. The lighting and colors at the Shanghai fightscene and Macau exterior shots were particularly beautiful, like a piece of art by itself. Overall, the camera work was highly superior to the chopped up mess that was Quantum of Solace. Easily one of the best photography work on any Bond-movie.
shareAbsolutely! This was easily my favourite Bond movie with Craig starring and the main reason was the cinematography. A gorgeous film to look at, and the opening credits sequence alone was one of the best I've ever seen.

Meanwhile, back at the OP...
Yes, the cinematography on Skyfall was superb. I was very upset that it didn't get the Oscar for cinematography.
Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
'I was very upset that it didn't get the Oscar for cinematography.'
Deakins has to keep his streak going.
It's that man again!!
I hope that you are agreeing with my comments about Mr. Deakins. By the way, did you know that he got an Oscar nomination for Unbroken?
Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
After so many losses, he won 2 almost consecutive awards.
One for Blade Runner 2049, another for 1917.

Meh, it looks like any generic overly glossy film of the 2010's. There's nothing exceptional or unique about the photography in this.
Besides, if I wanted to see nice pictures of Scotland, I would just read National Geographic instead.
No, you are wrong. It was one of Deakins' finest works. And he, himself, is a legend in this field.
shareFar and away the best ever in a Bond film and one of the great Roger Deakins’ finest works. It is completely stunning.
And the naysayers up in here aside (yawn), this is a TERRIFIC film overall.
Deakins is terrific.
