I was unsure if she would get up for a morning sunrise but surprisingly she was ecstatic to spend time with dad. She was also able to take a few pictures herself.
Yesterday we did the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, an 8 mile hike to the Tea House. It was an absolutely beautiful walk up the mountains and next to glaciers. After the hike, our little girl wanted to stick her feet in the ice cold Lake Louise water for some relaxation.
Here is Onward part 1.
The morning I traveled to Moraine Lake I knew I would not be able to get a typical sunrise. The sky was overcast and the wind was moving fast. Once I got there I decided to head down to the dock and capture a long exposure shot. I set up the camera and turned the timer to 10 minutes. Before you ask yourself, there is no way I could sit that still for 10 minutes. I added myself later to the shot.
You might wonder what is going on with the sky in this image. The image was taken early morning and smoke from nearby fires in British Columbia had covered the area. I obviously felt bad about the wild fires but from a photography standpoint it allowed for me to easily take an image in which the foreground was very clear and the background was in a slight haze.
Yesterday’s post, I captured a photographer capturing an image of Moraine Lake. Today, this photographer was capturing an image of Lake Louise and its wonderful reflections. I walking around attempting to capture different views of the clouds and reflection and noticed this gentlemen sitting here. He stayed long enough for me to capture this image.
There is nothing better than waking up and heading out capture a morning sunrise. This morning there was a long of cloud coverage with a very steady breeze. The typical reflection of the mountains on the lake were not present. I noticed this photographer capturing this magnificent moment and was able to capture him in my image. I was able to get his name, Kristopher Schoenleber. He’s a photographer out of New Jersey. His website can be found here. You can also follow him on Facebook here.
Our vacation is finally coming to an end. This is one of the great action shots I got!
