Sunset Clouds

Sometimes you just get lucky.

The clouds during the sunset over Lake Minnewanka were just amazing – and sometimes you have to allow those clouds to be the main subject of your frame.

Lake #6

Lake Minnewanka. Probably my favourite lake in the Rockies.

I’ve shot here a few times in the last year and I just can’t get enough of it. Since long exposures were the name of the game for me last Tuesday, I kept the 10-stop ND on my lens during my time at Minnewanka – and I’m glad I did. The movement in those colourful clouds and the silky smooth water make this image for me. Have a great weekend!

P.S. Don’t worry, #FilmFriday will be back soon – I just don’t have enough analog material at the moment!

Days End

As my day in the mountains was ending on Tuesday, I was treated with a pretty amazing moonrise over Lake Minnewanka. It was an amazing end to an awesome day.

Mountain Colours

I realize I’ve been loading the blog with images from Lake Minnewanka this week, but I just couldn’t resist posting this shot for #FilmFriday. While I was taking some long exposures, I snapped a few shots with the Holga, and this is by far the best. I just can’t get enough of that amazing light on the mountainside.

Minnewanka

One of the stops the Chris’s and I made on the way back to Golden from Banff was at Lake Minnewanka. I vaguely remembered being brought to this amazing mountain lake when I was a child, but had no recollection of how stunning it was. We arrived a couple hours before sunset, and the light was pretty fantastic…especially on the mountainside featured in the image below.

I will be going back to Lake Minnewanka later this summer. For sure. The beauty is amazing, and we really only spent time on a very small portion of the shoreline…there’s so much left to explore, and I can’t wait.
