Well, after a couple of busy weeks, I was finally able to get away for some shooting today and had a great time being out with friend Wayne Simpson. We headed out to Kananaskis Country to shoot the sunrise at the Upper Kananaskis Lake. Neither of us had been up there shooting yet this winter so we were going in a little bit blind, not knowing what we had to work with for conditions along the shore. Despite getting up there really early and having lots of time to look around we both had a really hard time coming up with decent compositions. We had great pre dawn light with really nice pastel colours in the sky but just couldn’t seem to find the right foreground elements to build very strong images. I wouldn’t say that we came up totally empty handed though, it just felt like we had to work a little harder for it today.
Here is one of mine from the morning that I think turned out ok. Be sure to head over to Wayne’s blog to check out a cool detail shot he got from later in the morning
Great shot Ian! I like the way the drift and the tree line on the right form a V. Good job keeping the blues natural as well – I know that can be difficult.
Great shot Ian, colors are nice.. looks cold there
