p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Spirit of Winter

Last week, I had the opportunity to explore the Canadian Rockies, driving between Canmore and Jasper National Park. The winter scenery was breathtaking, with snow-covered landscapes as far as the eye could see. While I did visit (and previously shot) some classic spots of the rockies like Abraham Lake and the mountains in Banff National Park, this time I wanted to capture more intimate shots that would showcase the true spirit of winter (snow, snow, and some ice, then some more snow).
Here are few of my images I shot (mostly) along highway 1a heading towards Jasper National Park.

Outstanding work, with a compelling theme in the first 7. If I had to choose just one, it would be #7.

Gregg, always admire your work and the vision in your photography. Like others have said #7 is just outstanding. This definitely earns my vote 👍🏻

Thank you all! I see now CA is getting so much snow there is almost no need to go to Canada

Apparently Alabama Hills is now full of snow! I’m going….

Wonderful set. As a skier I love pictures of pure untracked slopes and have many similar shots. Like others I like #7, but give #6 equal +. The ice is nice also.

Nice imaging Greg. I think all the snow mound images have too much contrast applied. Still, it is an artistic decision, I just think they should be softer in DR.

Yes, that’s true. But I did soften them and they didn’t have this nice striking effect. They looked rather pale and just ordinary, you know, nothing special about them. I wanted them to be dramatic. And, I actually pulled down contrast

Originally they were more contrasty. I actually didn’t use contracts much, more the hazy removal slider in Lightroom. But we all have our tastes, of course. Still this is a nice and healthy conversation. Thx!

Love the snow mound images...but that last one is just fabulous with it's composition and processing.

Those are all amazing and inspirational for my winter photography. I didn't get in as much as I wanted to this year, but hopefully next...
