Description
Recently visiting the Canadian Rockies, I made my way to Moraine Lake. This shot, I had to wait and jockey position with a young boy who was more interested in splashing me than anything else. Every time I put my tripod down to set up my camera he would get in the way, splash water or just do whatever he could to disrupt what I was trying to do. Luckily he gave up before I did. This is the last in a series of shots I took and the closest point of view to the water which accentuates the canoe's a bit more. The lakes around here are famous for their crystal clear water with a turquoise hue from the minerals flowing down from the mountains - I did not manipulate the color of the water in any way. Although a 10 mile drive from Lake Louise, parking is virtually impossible. I waited until dusk in hopes of getting a decent sunset but the raging fires across Canada kept the sky pretty hazing most of the week. This night was the only night the haze wasn't a factor. It was mostly cloudy with an occasional ray of sunshine popping through the clouds. I waited while I could get a better sky but this is all I was rewarded with. There was a quick moment of direct sunlight through the clouds so I snapped away and this is the result.
