Loch Maree by Tim Haynes Via Flickr: A tree on the rocky shores of Loch Maree I'd say there's Slioch in the distance, but the cloud gets in the way...

Late Night Mist by Tim Haynes Via Flickr: Driving around the country lanes at 2300hrs on a Saturday night, I saw this river of silver mist, lapping around a large clump of trees, caught in the moonlight. Had to stop. Focussing required a fast prime, so I chose the Pentax 50mm. Three frames each of 8*8s so about 190s total exposure, all blended in Hugin, toned in darktable (using a fancy night-time effect), re-toned for black and white, then manipulated like nobody's in the Gimp to remove lots of distracting artefacts.

Flowing by Tim Haynes Via Flickr: Some years ago now, I first saw this scene - spent 2 hours in my favourite camera shop in Perth to hunt a tripod, trying to believe in Manfrotto because everyone uses Manfrotto and emerged with a Slik instead - came back the next day and totally failed to make what I wanted of it. It's been an uphill battle with several visits over the intervening years but I think I'm finally getting close on the rendition I had in mind.
