Trip to Canada
Thought I would share a few pics from a treck through Johnson's Canyon in Banff from last December.
This is the frozen waterfall 
This is not a great photo, but I've included it for interest. At the end of the canyon these guys were climbing the walls of ice 
This is a go at a vertical pano to get the whole waterfall in 
The next one is a picture of me taken by my husband. It was -30 degrees C on the day so your breath froze on the first thing it hit, which was my hair! 
All taken with the Canon 350D with a Tamron 18-200 lense. Happy to get feedback - especially on the pano. Canon EOS 350D Tamron 18-200mm
Just what do you think you're doing Dave?
Great photos there! No. 1 is my favourite. I prefer No.1 to the pano actually. The only negative comment I can make is white balance is a bit cool, but may be it is better that way.
Well done Alex
Wow, great views. I really like the terrain it's amazing. I've never been somewhere that cold, I got a laugh at your frozen hair, that must be really COLD!
Out of the first three shots, I think I like #2 the most, with the little dude climing up the ice.
It is really cold - lot's of layers required! The terrain was just stunning. It was hard to decide what not to photograph.
Alex - agree with the white balance, gives everything a blue tinge, but I kind of like it. Canon EOS 350D Tamron 18-200mm
Just what do you think you're doing Dave?
Amazing scenery you have captured suzanneg, but the blue tinge IMHO kills the shot and makes it dull. Eventhough I am no expert in PP I wanted to have a look what #1 would look like with some slight colour adjustments.
If you want me to remove this let me know. Cheers Mike 
Brrr - it looks freezing!

Great series of photos!
I agree making the white balance a bit cool adds to the atmosphere - although my personal feeling is that it may be a bit too cool... I like what Mike has done - although some of the ice seems to have lost detail with overexposure.
WOW
Thats certainly something we don't see in australia unfortunatly, I'd love to live somewhere like that preferably in EU though. Very nice photo's too truly envious. Are we there yet?
I concur with Mike: the WB in the original is too blue.
Given the conditions I'm sure it WAS that blue, but when there in person your eyes adjust to the scene and this is not the impression you would typically come away with. To match what we experience you typically have to choose a "warmer" balance (if you were to take a print of this as-is and took it back to the scene it might look OK as your eyes would adjust, but where we're in daylight [or our otherwise "normal" environment] it doesn't work very well). If you were shooting with film you would be putting a warming filter on the lens instead. You should be able to reprocess the RAW file(s) choosing a warmer balance yet keeping the highlights (i.e. not "blowing out" the brighter snow/ice areas) and keeping the blue sky you've managed to include. You DID shoot this in RAW didn't you? 
Very nice images! I'm jealous!
Mike,
I like what you have done to the photo, although I agree it has lost some detail in the ice. DaveB, I am a complete novice and have only just started shooting in RAW, (not when I was in Canada unfortunately). I have only had photoshop on the computer for the last 2 weeks, but have a book and am about to start learning! Looking forward to lots more advice and tips.
