Thanks for the love everybody! Im pretty lucky to have gotten this light. Hopefully I don't get skunked out too many times in a row to balance the scales from it!

So jealous of you and this picture. I thoroughly enjoyed Banff through and through and this brings back awesome memories.
This didn't pop up on my 500px feed...I thought I was already following you??
I haven't really photographed much of it, but after a productive weekend a week ago I'll be back often. And I thought you were too...You are now though Thanks!
Excellent Justin! This is better than any lighting I have had there over the years. It is technically a fairly straightforward shot to take but the conditions can be the real challenge. If the sky is clear and/or light clouds, you will usually see the plane trails from them passing in the distant sky. There is also usually light wind which can mess with the reflections. Looks like you had great timing (and super PP as usual). Well done!

Normally we see these type of sunrises on the city commute to work. Count your blessings. . . you had an awesome sunrise at an awesome location with camera in hand. Doesn't get much better than that!

100% agree. I can't count the number of times I've driven in to work, cursing that I couldn't be in the mountains!

Yeah Im totally used to doing more complex shooting techniques compared to this. All I had to do was stand in some mud and click the trigger! I scouted out a better location with calmer waters and headed back the following morning, but I didnt strike gold twice haha.

Your best yet Congrats! Looks perfect!
Thanks buddy. Id say this is my favorite as far as crazy light goes. I do have a couple others that I like more because of how creative I could be while shooting, and of course the file sharpness :P

Nothing new to add, Justin; this is magnificent in all ways.
You deserve every bump you get .

Thanks for the comment and compliment Charlie! I think it only counts as a bump if the thread already has 5 pages, or is months old though

Beautiful Shot! I've gotten some nice shots at the Vermillion Lakes but most tend to be in the winter.
From what I had seen on google, it looks like the best light is in winter for sure. Plus then the sun rises to the right of the peak and makes for a stronger composition imo. Some interesting foreground ice wouldnt hurt either. I'll be back
Thanks!
