Really sorry to hear that Kevin, as I always look forward to your posts. You were very helpful in suggesting locations in Northumberland for me in the spring, so possibly revisiting a few of your own personal favourite locations might get the creative juices flowing again? I certainly hope so!

I visited Loch of the Lowes, Dunkeld, last week, but missed the last osprey by 2 days. This female mallard had clearly been studying this fish eating malarkey though, but really should have started on something smaller by the looks of it.

Not sure about your colour balance issue, but I ordered a couple of prints on Fuji velvet paper when it was reduced recently. It may suit some shots, but just woeful for landscapes.
I used to buy film from Mathers some years ago, but never recently. I'll maybe have a browse and see what their prices are like nowadays, although it's usually postage to the Highlands that kills a deal. :(
