Natural landscapes: Autumn “sentinels”
AUTUMN SNOWMEN AT LAKE LOUISE, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA
My wife and I were at this iconic tourist destination on a magical day – right after an autumn snowfall. Just as important, there was no wind to disturb the lake, so as I was walking around making endless photographs (it was hard to make a bad picture in these conditions), I found this whimsical pair and couldn’t resist trying my photographic luck.
A key part of making this picture work was during processing, to darken the distant misty clouds so they wouldn’t be a distracting, bland wash of white. How did I do?
Nikon D90, tripod, fill-flash, polarizing filter.

Couldn’t help but smile at this one…
Thanks, pal. I don’t usually do ‘whimsical’, but sure glad I did in this case. 🙂
My daughter says, “that is so cute!” 🙂
Thanks. Your daughter ROCKS. 🙂
I’ll be sure to pass that along. She’s eight going on eighteen. 🙂
