Part submerged in the waters of Loch Maree, this lone tree sits isolated from its surroundings not just by the water, but also by the pouring rain almost obscuring the snow covered mountains behindLocation: Loch Maree, Highlands, Scotland Catalogue Reference: 7-1501-0807 Copyright © 2015 Phil Corley
A single pine tree preches on top of a small hill over looking Loch Maree and the flanks of Slioch, with the passing snow shower turning the background into a monochromatic sceneLocation: Loch Maree, Torridon, Scotland Catalogue Reference: 7-1501-0791 Copyright © 2015 Phil Corley

As dawn arrived over Loch Maree, the clouds started to break allowing a vivid winter sunrise to flood in, spreading its influence over the wind ruffled surface of the loch; but still leaving the snow capped summit of Slioch in the twilight shadows. Different to my other work from this location - "Maree Pre-Dawn" I used a faster exposure to freeze the moving clouds in place allowing the beautiful cloud structure to show.Location: Slattadale, Wester Ross, Scotland Catalogue Reference: 6-1402-7262 Copyright © 2014 Phil Corley
The weather was horrible, a strong wind was blowing the rain sideways directly into the camera lens; but we knew the weather would break and when it did we hoped it would produce the blast of light that often is on the edge of the weather. So we waited and waited. After about 50 minutes I had sunk about 6 inches into the bog I was standing in, but the rain stopped and the grasses glowed with a warm luminous light. Shower-cap off the camera and time to capture two images before the light faded into normality. br>Location: Torridon, Scotland Catalogue Reference: 6-1402-7210 Copyright © 2014 Phil Corley
