    Gorgeous!!! 183 secs!!! Even with a 10-stop filter (though it’s not mentioned), what time of the day was this taken?

  • Kevin Kroeker replied

    Thanks Vikram :))

    I forgot to mention that I did use a 10 stop filter for this one. I took this shot around 7pm.

    Christ mate, this is awesome! The water must have been so still and calm? What are you using to eliminate noise? Please don’t tell me nothing! If you do I’m screwed, as i don’t seem to be able to get away from it at these slow speeds!

  • Kevin Kroeker replied

    Thanks Craig :)) I haven’t done any noise reduction. I am looking at getting some software for that purpose though.

    Amazing what different things people see in a piece of dead wood. To me there is a horse or donkey’s head lying on its right side. It looks asleep. I noticed this at first in the activity feed thumbnail.

    WOWZ, Kevin!! This is truly a great shot. Though it is to my opinion very hard to get a good shot of Lake Louise this picture is truly awesome! The lighting is most of the time very poor or to hard. Your picture has a perfect lighting and gives off a very relaxing power. The detailed foreground which is perfectly composed makes the picture very interesting to look at. The glassy looks of the clear blue water makes it even more interesting, it shows me that there is another world below the Lake Louise surface… Excellent piece of work, and yep I had to favorite this one. Very impressive!
