Mountains, Lakes and Rivers

Did a bit of single shot HDR enhancement. Not sure I like it. Forests of lodgepole pine and alpine larch clinging to mountainside.

Sunrise lake Wanaka, South Island NZ. One of those mornings worth getting out of the sack.

Hi dpc.
I prefer the original, I like the foreground rocks, the only bit I was distracted by was the pointy thing far left 1/4 way up the image, kept looking to it to work out what it was.
If it was my image it would still be there too as I don't have the skills or patience to remove just that!

Cheers, Graham.

I've decided to remove the rock pile from my previous posting.

Thanks! Yes, I'm conflicted. The 'pointy thing' is a tree trunk recumbent in the water by the shore, the star shaped part being the roots. I really should have removed it even if I wanted to keep the rocks. I have no explanation as to why I failed to do so. Perhaps a case of tunnel vision. One becomes so focused on one or two elements that one forgets the rest. I need to become more sensitive in this respect. I guess I'll head for my photo files and get to work on this picture once again.

Banff Mountains in June
I know next to nothing about glaciers but I am thinking the first photo has one in it

9Y:

Yep, that's a glacier, if a small one. Every once in a while it will avalanche something off the cliff. The Canadian Rockies have a unique form and beauty of their own. Glad to see your images!

Thanks for the confirmation Tom
+1 for the Canadian Rockies, nothing in the world quite like them

Lake Minnewanka, Banff NP, this last September.

This is one of my favourite threads. There are some awesome pictures here. (sigh)

Just a couple from Heybridge Basin on Monday. Got there just as the tide peaked. Lack of wind meant the water was smooth as silk for about 30-45 minutes.

Anyone have any tips for reducing/removing the haze/pollution on the horizon in lightroom? Upping the exposure and letting Auto edit has improved it somewhat. But it still isn't how I would like it.

Mountain staircase: I had posted this previously but decided to remove it and substitute this sepia version, which I like better.

Very strong converging lines!
