About the Image(s)
We just came back from a train trip in the Canadian Rockies. We made a loop starting in Vancouver, reaching Jasper and Banff, and back to Vancouver over Kamloops. In Lake Louise we stayed at the Fairmont Chateau, which is at the lake. So, I had just to wake up at 4:50 a.m., walk from my room to the lake shore, and set my tripod. This photo is a composite panorama of three bracketed (0, -2, +2) shots, for a total of nine photos. Beyond the stitching, I increased the warm tones a little through an orange filter in post-processing. Technical specifications: 14mm. lens, 1 sec. at f/16, ISO 64, tripod.

Hi Jose, what a gorgeous panorama! The clarity and the turquoise color of the water make extra special effects as stones at the bottom of the lake come visible through the reflection. They add another layer of depth into the image. I love the way the reflections and the mountains themselves lead one into the center of the image through the lake. Posted: 07/07/2026 18:48:12
