Clear and cold moring in Lake Louise village

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Clear and cold moring in Lake Louise village

Postby MHD on Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:16 am

Ok I am now in Jasper and am taking a quite few moments to process some images...
The aim of these two images was to impart some feel for the texture of the snow... interesting shooting conditions, hard to get the exposure right without blowing out the highlights... spent quite some time playing with the curves of the raw file to get a nice steep curve over the brightness range of the snow to enhance the visability of the "Grain" of the snow...

Both images with d200+sigma10-20
anyhow enjoy:

What dreadful, terrible shots! :D

How can there be that much powder and not a ski mark in it! :roll:

Nice pics, great DOF and colours. You definetly have managed to save the grain in the snow.

Well done!

Believe it or not the snow in the village was much nicer than that on the ski hill.... busy time up there and much of the fresh was tracked out... Skiing Marmott in Jasper tomorrow so I will let you know how that goes :twisted:

My grandfather built and ran Jasper House Bungalows south of the township from 1957 to 1975 (you would pass it on the left when you travel to the ski hill from town). We used to go up there in spring and fall to help him open and close it (he had arthritis so went south in winter) But we got to do some great spring skiing every year!

Ahhh, Marmot Basin great memories... I used to love Kiefer's Chute/Dream.

Sure is a lot bigger now though, Grandpa died in 1979, so the last time I skied there was probably 1974 or 75.....

Have fun!

Glad you enjoyed it! We used to hit Banff (Sunshine, Norquay, Lake Louise) some times and the only one that compared was Lake Louise due to it's size. Marmot was always my favourite though....

Look forward to the pics....

Lake Louise is one of the world's most photographed spots.

I was there in spring a few years ago, and it was even beautiful then.

Enjoy your skiing. :D
