Toyo 45CF + Symmar 120 + TMax 100
@Kmallick, thats very nice!
I'm practicing with smaller subjects at the moment.
This is 1sec at F32 on Ilford Ortho+. I like the amount of movement and texture in the water, especially the web of light between the stumps here.

Intrepid Mk IV, S-K Symmar 210/5.6, yellow-green filter, f/32@14s (1 stop reciprocity failure compensation and 2/3 stop for the filter) on Fomapan 100, developed in Fomadon Excel 1+1 (6.5 min manual rotation). Back and front tilt and front swing to get both the foreground and the tree at the far end of the loch into focus. A half-stop gradient over the top half in CaptureOne.
The Y-G filter didn't work out as I wanted (was hoping for more separation in the background), and the extra exposure time needed resulted in the water being too much smoothed out for my liking. I have another sheet without the filter, but unfortunately there was a gust of wind during the exposure, leaving the foreground smudged (and not enough smudged).
Just posted this over on the 5x7 thread, but it sort of belongs here, although I was not quite on the creek's edge...more out in it, but I suppose a small island of gravel has water edges, too.
Taken on my way out from a two-night backpack trip. I had rain from pre-dawn to 11 or so...the rain was one of the reasons I was out there -- first of the season. Just earlier I had a 2' dia tanoak crash down in front of me (25 yards or so) and most of the morning I could hear water ladened, but drought weakened branches, falling a couple hundred feet here and there. No or low wind. Besides the fact it was still raining inside the redwoods groves, I kept to the creek bed. But I was rewarded with still air and water when I arrived at this spot...a scene I had been looking at on many previous backpacks in.

Vaughn, I really like the complexity there, and that the view of the skyline is better defined in the reflection than in itself.
This one below made me want a longer lens... a bit too much dead space on the lower right for me and lots of good crops to be made
