athabasca

Throwing this into the digital art section. Our afternoon at Athabasca Falls was during a light snowstorm leaving the sky as a featureless white blob. So I replaced it with a tracked Milky Way shot and went blue with the white balance. What do you think?

I debated whether I should save these for another waterfall Wednesday thread, but decided to post a bonus waterfall today instead. I shared my self portrait at the "trailhead" in the signs contest here. Normally Athabasca Canyon is filled wall to wall with beautiful turquoise water (example)...

This was taken in autumn a couple of years ago. The biggest hazard getting to this spot is fighting through the tour bus crowds. Still well worth a visit! I liked the light on Mount Kerkeslin and the clouds framing it. The challenge was controlling the dynamic range so I took several exposures...

Focusing on the turquoise water flowing through the Athabasca gorge in Jasper National Park. A little crowded, but a beautiful area.
