Floating Platform, Ullswater
This was the 'test' shot for the long exposure to follow, just making sure from the histogram that everything was right before screwing in the ten stopper. Found it again when I was going through the drive on a seemingly never ending trawl to see what can be deleted and what can be kept. I don't think I'd done much with this one before and certainly couldn't see it in my previous uploads so I've had a go with a fresh eye in Lightroom 4.
I've been away a fair bit recently (not taking pics unfortunately) hence the lack of uploads and comments. I had been due to spend Saturday night on Stac Pollaidh with Billy Currie doing some dawn and dusk stuff with maybe some night skies thrown in. Unfortunately the weather put paid to that. Hopefully I'll be able to get out in the next few days for some shots I have planned.

Lovely bow shape formed with the reflection. Shame about this weekend. I was looking forward to seeing your shots, even though I was miserable at missing out. Maybe able to rearrange now?
