Moraine Lake

Featured in “Landscape Photography”

Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada

I knew going that I wanted a shot dramatically different then the standard “Moraine Lake” photo that everyone has.

I took this photo in the early spring of this year, before the lake had reached it’s normal levels. Didn’t realize it at the time but I was very lucky to have gotten this shot as I came back 3 days later and the rock had already been completely submerged.

Woke up at 2am and drove 2 and half hours in the dark and then slept at the lake for about 30 mins before going out to take pictures. Spent almost 4 hours walking the shores trying different shots. I was about to go home when i spotted this rock, I knew I had finally found the shot I wanted.

Cheers

    Patrick, thanks for the fave on my “Help Me.” Hard to believe you’ve only been at this a year, your gallery is stupendous, this one especially, though it’s hard to compare among equally fine shots. I’ve skiied Banff and environs and didn’t see quite these colors with my naked eyes, but your colors are even more spectacular, if that’s possible. Again, thanks.

    Great shot , but can you do me a favour and add some information on the HDR process, things like , handheld or tripod, how many exposures if you have the setting even better, what software was used. That way I can accept into HDR Photography group.

    When it’s been added please resubmit it for moderation. and we will add it to the group.
