Lake Louise and Banff


I got up at 6 am to try to make the sunrise at Lake Louise. It took me a bit longer than I had anticipated to drive from Banff to Lake Louise but I got several good post-sunrise shots.


I took several fish-eye lens shots. The morning light on the water is amazing. The reflected mountains add a lot of interest. I revisited Lake Louise a few days later in the late afternoon and the scene was so entirely different I didn't recognize it. It is well worth getting up early to make take photos of Lake Louise around 6:30 a.m.
