FRANK KING PHOTOS

BOW VALLEY PARKWAY, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA

I was blessed to encounter a very snowy landscape when I drove this western Canadian road. Sunshine would have been ideal, but the soft, even lighting worked very well for this self-portrait. I set the timer on my camera, then ran to this spot a half-dozen times to ensure I was in the best possible place for a satisfying composition.
As there was almost no colour beyond what I was wearing, it was a no-brainer to keep me in colour and convert the rest of the scene to black-and-white.
