I took the day off work on Wednesday and used my time to drive out to the mountains for a bit of a photo excursion. On the recommendation from a co-worker, I made my way to Grassi Lakes which is just around the corner from the Canmore Nordic Centre where all the cross-country skiing events were held during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. After a short hike, I reached the two small lakes, and the colour was just amazing. Both mountain lakes shone with a rich blue/green hue…it really was beautiful. However, what I really wanted to shoot was the waterfall just slightly downstream from these lakes…so I made my way down to where I could hear running water found exactly what I was looking for. Water tumbled down a steep cliff face and cascaded around old fallen logs and mossy rocks. Jackpot.
Really enjoying the vibrant color
Great color and I really like the lighting on this. Splendid work Heath!
Heath, this is close to being my favorite shot from you. You’ve had so many good ones it’s tough to pick just one, but this one is most excellent!
Wow Heath! That is unbelievable! The silky water against the saturated moss is just amazing! Great work!
This absolutely rocks man – colors pop nicely, beautiful smooth flow with the waterfall…everything works well.
Wonderful long exposure! Love the bright water against the moss.
Great job with that water!
that’s just beautiful Heath, great shot!
Okay. This is awesome. The balance of light/shadows and vibrant green moss is spectacular.
I agree with Jesee… Great balance in this image.
Now we know what you do when you tweet that you’re headed out the mountains 🙂 Great shot, I like the soft water and the brilliant green moss.
This is a great image Heath!
Amazing capture, Heath! The contrast in this shot is stellar!
Looks like a jackpot shot indeed!
Very nice!
Awesome shot! love the milky water!
Sorry Heath for the delay, I’m just catching up after being in the desert for the weekend. This is a beauty. I love how the shadows play with the light. Very nice!
Jackpot is right! Great shot Heath.
