An obvious scene: the road wending through Glen Dochart toward Kinlochewe (not depicted: Kinlochewe, because of the mist).
As if the river Kirkaig wasn't full and fast enough in the bottom of the gorge, walking back along the top the clouds were pretty dramatic, the light behind coming through as crepuscular rays above the silhouetted hills.

It's got Buachaille Etive Mor in, from the River Coupall, but it's not the usual composition...
With the water levels so low, I went down below the bridge and explored the rocks (rhyolite/granite) and water flowing around the boulders.

Nocturnal Reflections: the moon, in the middle of a partial lunar eclipse, reflecting on the surface of Loch Leven, Kinross.
A synthetic long exposure of Loch Rannoch - remains of a fossilised tree on the shore in the foreground looking across to Schiehallion in the distance.
Appreciating landscape the way it is, shades of grey and all: an overcast cloudy day, grey peaks of the awesome moutains, and a bit of well-worn tarmac, the only colours being the pale yellow of grass, bracken and heather.

I have walked through these trees many times and many times I have thought there is a shot here, for one reason or another I did not.
But on this day conditions were very overcast with a fine drizzle coming down so with my tripod sinking into the mud and with polariser attached I decided to take a few images, I don`t know what these trees are but I think they look fine and moody with amazing shape and form.
Goring By Sea in Sussex.
Many years ago I made a photo of this bridge spanning the river mouth from the shores much closer in Inverness. Since then the road along the south of the river out of the city has become a favourite drive, with its easy straights, gentle bends and occasional views back to the Kessock Bridge in the distance.
With its suffusion of green foliage and orange leaves, this woodland reminded me of the film _House of Flying Daggers_.
A properly processed version of an earlier shot.
One minute it was just me on the harbour wall; the next time I looked up there were 5 of us all sitting in a line trying to take the obvious shot.
This was made using welding glass - the first time I've tried it with the Olympus Pen-F; it works well, probably because high-resolution mode involves super-sampling full chroma and luminosity at every pixel. The archive version of this is 85MPel, from 3 frames blended with hugin+enfuse.
A perfect moment - bright morning sunlight blasting through glorious old Scots Pine trees casting their shadows on the mist.
A moment of drama yet ultimately of peace.
Blog words and collation of last Autumn's visit: Glen Affric.
A bit of light making its way through the clouds between the bulk of Gearr Aonach and part of the craggy ridge along Beinn Fhada, two of the Three Sisters of Glencoe
Dramatic light - a fine haze in the sky looking straight into the sun, with a bright reflection off the south end of Loch Tay.
The mountain is Sron na Clachainn.
Also in shiny colour.
Classic landscape - boulders and Loch Turret from beyond the glacial morraine at the head of the loch.
Not quite the view one would expect from this end...
Farmland outside Auchterarder - beside the B8062 to Crieff, looking straight down on a junction of boundaries and St MacKessog's Well, site of an ancient sacred spring
I was a little surprised there are still so many bluebells to be seen, a fortnight after all and sundry have visited the obvious hotspots - and also surprised to see vast swathes of bluebells out here amongst farming country.
One of a few studies with the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 lens: Beech trees receding into the distance, their remaining leaves bright orange against the cool blue-green dusk light.

A favourite view, with the line of the Highland Boundary Fault running along a tree-covered dip in the landscape between Stare Bridge Viewpoint and Rohallion Lodge.
Drive road. Turn corner. See view. Find parking spot. Grab camera. Trot back and take photo. Admire light and reflection.
Such is the way of the roadside photographer, anyway
It's amazing what you can capture with a 7-14mm lens - an entire 22-degree solar halo with plenty room to spare.
Taken on the beach at Dores looking south-west along Loch Ness.
A classic view from the obvious viewpoint above Loch Tulla - lovely light on the middle-distant hills and precipitation over Beinn Eunaich and Ben Cruachan beyond.
One of a few studies with the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 lens: the classic view from Kinnoull Hill past the tower folly on the left, looking along the River Tay.

Beautiful simplicity: flat calm, mirror reflections on Loch Rannoch.

I stood beside at the top of the hill beside Loch Gainmhich looking over the undulating landscape, watching the rainbow and its secondary bow evolve.
It's flat on average... in practice the water is more like a jacuzzi.
Low warm evening sunlight just catching the rocks.

It was a morning of rainbows - glorious vibrant colours followed by heavy hail storms. I saw this one coming as I passed Inchnadamph - made a bee-line for a roadside layby - and got it right at the optimum brightness with the dark rainclouds behind.
Then it got wet.

Nature was in greyscale mode already, with mist and cloud swirling past the gneiss rock of Cnoc na Creige across Loch na Gainmhich.
A large foggy cloud flowing over Stob Binnein and Ben More outside Crianlarich, from Lix Toll near Killin.
Reprocessed:
An awesomely vibrant bright complete double rainbow - a primary and secondary bow and supernumaries.
It didn't take much patience to find the moment of optimum brightness - I watched as the two bows both increased and achieved full colour, cranked the 15-30mm lens fully wide at optimum aperture zone-focussed nearby, composed with the tree and trig-point, camera a bit low to maximize foreground grass whilst avoiding my own shadow. Click, got it.
Taken from the top of Duncryne Hill aka The Dumpling.
First snows of the late-autumn - nice sunlight on Crieff and surrounding mountains in Glen Turret from Auchterarder.
The last of the warm light - foreground partially cleared forestry in the shadow of Scout Head hill - contrasting with light on Craigforth, the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle with Dumyat in the background.
Most people would be trying to take a photo of Slains Castle immediately hogging most of the field of view to the left. Me, I aimed for the coastline and made this study of the rocks instead. Yay rocks.
A quick shot from near the peak of last night's performance.
Quite a surprising field of view was illuminated - pale blue extended beyond the extremities of this shot especially toward the west.
A brilliant green arc over Strathearn with spiky pillars extending to the Pole star; it was like standing in the brilliant glare of an oncoming train.

The first time I saw this tree, it was just a flicker out of the corner of the windscreen as I zoomed past, but enough for a second look; on the return leg of that journey I stopped and caught it in magnificent light.
Then another local photographer made something of it on Facebook as well...
So I went back and tried it from a different angle, playing with long exposures ,with this result.
