p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Summertime

After my 6-7 weeks absence from online photo reality, I am back. As fall develops and rain pours in Vancouver and area I can't wait to have winter here. While waiting for first snow I decided to post here a "Summertime" memory from my beloved Canadian Rockies.

Photo description:
As many of you know, Canadian Rockies are landscape photographers’ paradise. Early mornings tend to bring delightful conditions for photographers. I would even dare to claim that mornings are better to shoot than evenings just because of the Rockies geographical location. In the evenings clouds tend to stay over the mountains as the range spreads to the West while in the morning sky is clearer because on the East there are Alberta’s plains with clouds that do not form as heavily as it is the case in the opposite direction. It is an incredible feeling to hike through these immense valleys surrounded by gigantic peaks. And here I find myself on yet another photo hiking trip in this exceptional place. On my latest 4 days long trip I explored the area of Mt. Robson (the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies) and in my opinion it is a world class hiking & photographing destination. This simple composition as seen on this photo aims to showcase one of the Canadian Rockies icons, the great Mt. Robson with all the elements that created this spectacular landscape.

Comments as usually appreciated. Stay dry and warm!

Hey Artur,

What a grand scene here, simple, yet the composition and that sweet light makes it so grand. I can see why you would want to shoot here.

Since you were talking about how the clouds are worst to the west in the evening, and better in east in the morning, what's the angle of this shot? I have never been there so I am totally unfamiliar with what direction Mt Robson faces here. Where is the east and the west in this shot would be a simpler way to ask I guess?

Thanks,

Jim

Another exceptional image, the color in the river and the slope of rocks in the left foreground look beautiful, adding to a great view.

Awe-struck. That's a great shot Artur!

One question - if I may ask. What aperture did you use? I'm thinking something smaller than f/22?

Jim, from this point of view Mt. Robson is to South-East.

I used f/11. It was taken with 14-24mm @14mm. f/11 is the sharpest corner to corner aperture for this lens. One problem with this composition was that camera was tilted up and this caused distortion (the trees weren't straight). To avoid it I took one shot with levelled camera and another one to get more sky.

Ah ok. Interesting - didn't factor in the wide angle aspect when I was thinking of this earlier.

Thanks for sharing!

Great colour and lighting. Haven't used my 14-24 for a long while. Great lens!
If I may, my only nit is the halo of the masking around the mountain itself
