Near Sandavágur village, on Vágar island, there is an outlook from which you can see Trøllkonufingur, the Witch’s Finger. It is a free standing rock, although it is hard to see from the outlook that the rock is separate from the rest of the cliff. There is a path that you can walk so you can see this cliff better.

Take a screenshot of google maps zoomed in the village and you'll find the path. It is not a long hike, just a couple of minutes. Bonus tip: After you visit this amazing cliff go and check out a local restaurant called Fiskastykkið. They have some delicious fish soup worth trying.

For a different view of Trøllkonufingur, also known as "The Witch's Finger," head to the opposite side of the village of Miðvágur. You can drive directly to the spot marked on the map. Once there, simply get out of your car and use your telephoto lens to capture photos, as shown in my pictures. Bonus tip: The best time of year to capture sunset photos is from November to February.
