Camera: Canon EOS-30D

Location: Banff Alberta
Date: Jun 27, 2009
Aperture: f 4.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/400

Date Uploaded: Jan 18, 2010

Taken with the 30D last summer while my 50D was on loan to my favorite son.
Captured Quite early on the first of the three Vermillion lakes near Banff.
I kind of like the way the light turned out here and most often photos from here include "Mount Rundle" but this one doesn't so its kinda special, and one of my favorites from last year.

the light on the river really drives us into and across the scene - nicely done

Very nicely executed and presented. Lovely and effective dynamic range that creates lots of mood.

Serenity is nice, and you have accomplished that feeling. Lovely layers.

Oh nice shot, would have like to see this a little lighter though.

I feel that the post processing let this shot down. I need to see the original shots to be able to comment better. Looking at this shot which I feel may have good potential, the lack of details in the masses of darkness really let's it down (at least on my screen), 5

this is so different than most landscapes on DPC, I very much like this effect.

serene, but a little dark

This is such a beautifull setting but we have to much dark in the lower half + the mountains - I want more detail there. Notice some halos in the sky which breaks this down a bit for me.

Love the colours in the sky. Photo is a bit dark though.

Pretty spot with pretty reflections.

just a bit dark for me.
01/22/2010 02:11:01 PM
you've lost alot of your detail in the shadows

This is a little soft for my tastes and I would of liked the mountain on the right to have not been cut off.
