Thanks Dave. you're right about the tripod. But then if the light wasn't so good, an attempted pano might stand more chance with a tripod. But it's always worth having a go.

We do usually see some snow in the higher, north facing corries at this time of year. But I think the cold, wet late spring and early summer over here, has left us with more than usual. But of course, photogenically, it's a bonus.

Another shot from our walk in Glen Affric a couple of days ago.
Here we are crossing the Allt Coulavie. Did she make it, without getting her boots wet ? Err . . . well, just about Alt Coulavie by Alan Butterfield, on Flickr

Grabbed a few decent shots before the black flies drove me back inside today. This is a Hummingbird Clear Wing Moth.

These ancient Scots Pines, known as 'Granny Pines' were shot in Glen Affric.
The same trees that sheltered Bonnie Prince Charlie when he hid from government troops are still growing here today. These same trees have harboured wolves and bear, both now disappeared from Scotland, although there are plans to reintroduce wolves to certain parts of the Highlands. Out of all Britain's landscapes, only the arctic-alpine summits of the mountains are in as natural state as this. Granny Pines_2 by Alan Butterfield, on Flickr

We have some pines here in California which are up to 5,000 years old. I've yet to go there but will do now when there is a bit of snow on the mountains. The biggest problem is that it is some 10-14,000 feet in altitude.
Loving the pictures of Scotland.

Just how old do you think I am
But seriously, I think the old pine forests of Scotland were probably much denser than now. Where I live, we have pine forests close by and every year the winter storms claim a few as they are, for such big trees, very shallow rooted.

Half way to LA lunch stop. Central coast wine country around Paso Robles California is a great place to explore. Calcareous winery has a great picnic area with a view.

I wonder why they aren't regenerating. Maybe it's drier there than it used to be. It hard to imagine bonnie prince Charlie finding much refuge there. You'd be able to see him from the valley below, these days.

Big Buck at ISO 4000:
Big Buck by David Stephens, on Flickr I posted this large so that you can see how well DxO's PRIME noise reduction preserves detail while ridding noise. I shot this with the 7D MkII, which starts getting pretty noisy Raw files at ISO 1600, but PRIME really cleans them up nicely. PRIME does a pixel by pixel analysis. I used the default setting here. Hand held at 1/1000-sec. Dave
