p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canadian Rockies - Hebert Lake


Hebert Lake...such an easy place to get to...such a wonderful morning sunrise location.

I've shot this lake many times and have many great experiences...but the one that really sticks in my mind was this one summer when I got there early to shoot the sunrise with my Pentax 6x7 outfit. I setup the camera onto the tripod and was busy looking into the "hood" viewfinder, trying to line up the composition when I looked up and roughly 20 feet from me a black bear was busy eating dandelions along the road, not even knowing I was so close. I clapped my hands together, yelled at the bear and it got onto it's hind legs, looked at me for a moment and took off across the road breaking branches as it scaled the hillside.

Just wonder how things would have worked out if I didn't look up from my viewfinder and the bear just kept coming closer, oblivious of me as it ate it's breakfast of dandelions.

What a great view, was this particular shot done with the Pentax? The colors are perfect all over the frame. Everything about this photo is awesome. Alpen glow on the tops of the mountains, cloudless blue sky with an excellent moon accent. Still waters in front of you giving that morning calmness. Enough light to show the lakeside trees and details. Home run in my book, glad the bear didn't eat you earlier this summer. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to share this gem.

The small ripples in the water add so much to the image. Excellent photo!

Charlie, this image was shot with a 5d2. I sold my Pentax 6x7 outfit as it was just too big a beast to pack around the Rockies. I love the photos I got from those big negatives, but the weight and bulk of the 6x7 along with 3 lenses was just too much.

Hi Harry,

This is a very nice view you have. The pano works perfectly here. And I am glad the bear didn't end up snacking on you.

You have captured the pristine majesty of the lake's morning glory in its rich and colourful fullness.

I totally get a sense of how this place sounds, which is strange and a good sign of excellent job done in conveying the scene.

Thanks all for your feedback. The lake is so easy to access yet still has that pristine feel to it. Many morning there is a thin layer of fog sitting just above the lake adding some drama. I shoot here just about every time I make a trip to thenRockies.

A lovely scene and quite a remarkable encounter that I'm sure makes this one memorable image. Very nicely done!
