Bow Lake Reflection

Gallery: LandscapePosted May 17, 2011106 views2 comments

My father and I were driving from Banff, up the Icefields Parkway when we went by Bow Lake and the water was just like glass. We were on a little bit of a schedule so we didn't have a lot of time but I just couldn't pass it up. I tried a number of angles and focal lengths but I like this one the best. I saw an earlier post of Bow Lake that was cropped to a panaramic thatt looked great. I tried it on this and couldn't come up with a crop that struck my eye. Luckily we stopped to take some shots when we did, because on the way back, the wind had picked up. C&Cs welcome. Thanks for looking.

Hi Mark. The previous Bow Lake pano was mine. My uncropped version looked quite a bit like yours (minus the snow) but I was standing a little further to the right to get away from the trees in the foreground. Amazing place even better with some snow. I see some potential pano comps to the left since the snow there adds to the scene.

Nice refelection! I might have gone with pure symmetry with this, and not included the trees. They don't really hurt anything, but don't really add anything either.
