This photo I took on my recent holiday in Canada. It was taken at the Emerald Lake in Alberta, which is a few miles due west of Lake Louise. It was taken in a bit of a hurry as I was racing back to our transport but I am rather pleased how it looks. It was taken with a 14mm wide angle lens so everything is in focus. I’ve included two versions, one with just a tree on the far left cropped out, and a second all the left removed up to the Lodge island. I think it produces two very different images and the first one for me has more personnel memories but a viewer without the memories may have a different opinion. I’ve been trying, without success, to improve the clouds which I think are a bit flat but it’s the same for all the images I took at that location.
Brings back memories of my trip to the Canadian Rockies; it is spectacular. When I first arrived, I checked the dynamc range of these scenes with forest, lakes and snow capped mountains and it was typically 14 stops (my camera then was 11 stops). All my Canadian shots were 3 exposures so coping with the DR was easy.
