West Perthshire, 26 August 2010 at 07:42 hours. A small pool of water, flanked by various grasses, produced a nice reflection of the rocky mound called Creag an Fhithich. Camera details: EF17-40mm f/4L USM, 1.0 sec at f / 22
West Perthshire, 26 August 2010 at 06:15 hours. I managed to make the walk-in from the A827 just in time for a brief sunrise at lochan nan cat. Nestling north-west from the huge bulk of Ben Lawers, I presumed it would be calm at this time of the morning but a fresh breeze was blowing off the hills. Use of my polarising filter and the early light meant an 8 second exposure that blurred the ripples, producing a similar effect to a calm surface. Camera details: EF17-40mm f/4L USM, 8.0 sec at f / 22
West Perthshire, 26 August 2010 at 06:57 hours. The slopes of Meall Garbh light up in the early morning sunlight. The small burn leaves lochan nan cat and eventually empties into Loch Tay. Camera details: EF17-40mm f/4L USM, 4.0 sec at f / 22
Ben Alder, 10 July 2010 at 18:22 hours. A brief bright spell was soon followed by more rain. Camera details: 10-20mm, 4.0 sec at f / 22
Ben Alder, 10 July 2010 at 18:17 hours. This is a branch of the burn that I wanted to cross to walk up Ben Alder (in the distance). It was in spate after persistant rain for most of the day. Instead I spent a couple of hours by the stream, taking photographs. This was a (very) brief spell when the sun came out. Camera details: 10-20mm, 2.0 sec at f / 27

Ben Alder, 10 July 2010 at 19:50 hours. An old tree stump lies in a pool of water in the moorland surrounding Ben Alder. The sun came out late in the day after a very wet previous 12 hours. Camera details:, 1.5 sec at f / 27
Glen Almond, Perthshire, 08 July 2010 at 17:43 hours. The cycle ride up the Glen was taxing against the wind, but super on the way back. This was a small burn I encountered on the way. Camera details: 10-20mm, 8.0 sec at f / 22
Glen Quaich, Perthshire, 08 July 2010 at 21:38 hours. I found this attractive lochan above Glen Quaich. I had spent the last few hours cycling and walking up Glen Almond, but lost the sun behind hills so I decided to drive up Glen Quaich in time for the sunset. I wasn't disappointed. Camera details: 10-20mm, 3.0 sec at f / 22
Near Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 31 May 2010 at 15:01 hours. Detail from the river Garry. Camera details: 10-20mm, 3.2 sec at f / 22
Near Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 31 May 2010 at 14:59 hours. The river Garry runs through Blair Atholl and down into Loch Faskally by Pitlochry. Unfortunately, a hydro scheme further upstream diverts a lot of the water so the river is really a shadow of what it used to be, to the detriment of the salmon that run up the river each autumn. Camera details: 10-20mm, 3.2 sec at f / 22
Mull, 29 March 2010 at 12:04 hours. The twin peaks of Ben More and A' Chioch on the Isle of Mull, as seen from the south. Camera details: OLYMPUS 14-42mm Lens, 1.3 sec at f / 22
Mull, 29 March 2010 at 05:31 hours. A hollow in a boulder has formed a small rock pool. Camera details: OLYMPUS 14-42mm Lens, 4.0 sec at f / 20
Mull, 29 March 2010 at 05:08 hours. The only time I saw the sun rise after 3 days on Mull; it didn't disappoint. This is across Carsaig Bay in the south of the island. Camera details: OLYMPUS 14-42mm Lens, 8.0 sec at f / 22
Mull, 28 March 2010 at 16:25 hours. The famous arches, a 10km return trip from Carsaig along a very uneven path. Unfortunately the anticipated low evening sun did not materialise as the clouds blew in. Camera details: OLYMPUS 14-42mm Lens, 1.3 sec at f / 22
