Re: Kokanee Glacier

Here's one of Kaslo Lake at Kokanee Glacier near Nelson, British Columbia. We did a family backpacking trip up there last week and stayed at the cabin. Spectacular place. Like Narnia... shot this handheld with my Voigtlander 20mm.

Nice shot Mr_Canuck.

I've posted a few shots a ways back. They sure don't compare. Anyone willing to share some of the secrets of these great shots? What's required, other than decent equipment, which is not my problem although I'm not saying mine's the best. Obviously the lighting associated with the time of day is one factor and for mountains I see lots of haze. Would a polarizer help solve that or do you just need all the right environmental pieces in place?

I think, beside good equipment, nice scenery and photographer's eye for a good composition, the post production skills are very important too. Here is an example: http://www.vibrantshot.com/how-to-edit-the-milky-way-in-photoshop/ The original photo is quite dull, but at the end it becomes very nice.

I think landscapes are probably the least gear dependent. It's usually shot with small apertures where even cheap lenses usually are sharp. And I actually prefer to focus manually to get the best sharpness across the picture so auto-focus is not important, neither is fps so cheap cameras are well suited too.

Thanks guys, I'm all ears. I would love to learn how to do better - quite different than catching posing birds!
