Across the Canadian Rockies (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the west while taking in views across a forest of evergreens to more distant ridges and peaks of the Waputik Range at Hector Lake Viewpoint. This is in Banff National Park along the Icefields Parkway. In composing this image, I decided on a more leveled-on view with the horizon. I felt I could capture a view looking over and across the forest to the more distant mountains. I liked how there was that little sliver of the lake to highlight a contrast between the forest and mountains.

➤ Highway 93 is a north–south highway in Alberta, Canada. It is also known as the Banff-Windermere Parkway south of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) and the Icefields Parkway north of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park and is maintained by Parks Canada for its entire length. It runs from the British Columbia border at Vermilion Pass in the south, where it becomes British Columbia Highway 93, to its terminus at the junction with the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) at Jasper. The route takes its number from U.S. Route 93, which runs uninterrupted south to central Arizona, and was initially designated as '93' in 1959.

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

As the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper National Park boasts over 11,000 square kilometres of mountain wilderness and abundant wildlife. The park has numerous breathtaking waterfalls, but the multi-tiered cascade of Tangle Creek Falls is a must-see spectacle. This easily accessed waterfall is considered one of the Canadian Rockies' best day hikes. Located off the 93 Icefields Parkway in Alberta, the spray from Tangle Creek Falls can be felt out on the highway itself. If you’re looking to capture some breathtaking pictures, it may be worth getting off the highway and going closer to the falls to truly experience its beauty.

Feeling a Cool Breeze As I Stand on the Shores of Herbert Lake (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across lake waters to more distant shores with evergreens and then snowcapped peaks of the Bow Range with Fairview Mountain, Mount Aberdeen, Mount Temple, and Little Temple (based on the PeakVisor app on my iPhone). What drew me into this view was the layered look with the lake waters, then evergreen forest, and then finally the mountain peaks.

How to Deal With Wedding Photographers

Photographers salt lake city  When looking for the perfect way to get the best wedding photographs one can, many turn to the professionals at a Salt Lake City wedding photography company. Now, even though these Utah Wedding Photographers may be centered in Salt Lake City and are only available there, there are many other trustworthy photographers all over the place. When selecting a wedding photography company to document your very special day, make sure that you don't skimp out and hire a cheap agency. You want the very best for your special day and would be very disappointed with yourself if you did not do all of the background work necessary to hiring the best possible photography agency. First of all, make sure that you look through the company's photographer's personal portfolios, which can most of the time be located online on the company's web page. From there you should be able to decipher who's style, at that company, you like the best and are interested in possibly hiring for your wedding. Make sure that you don't just look at one company in your search, but that you look at many. A single company can be prone to hiring a photographer with a special sort of style, not necessarily the one you want. After you have found a few photographers that you are especially interested in, make sure that you arrange a time with each of them, prior to the wedding date, and discuss how you would like to see things documented and stuff like that. If you decide that you don't like the person very much, DO NOT hire him. You and your wedding photographer have to connect so that he is able to pick up on your moods, your likes and dislikes, and to be able to take photographs from those facts. Next, after you have found your favorite photographer, set a date. Make sure that he is going to be available. If he is not, then you will have to maybe switch to your second favorite photographer. If this happens to you, do not worry; little snares like this happen to everyone when they are planning their weddings. Whether it is with their caterer or with their dress seamstress, little inconveniences happen to everyone. After you have set the date and made sure that your photographer is available, it is time to show the photographer around the surrounding area where the wedding will be. You want your photographer to be comfortable and familiar with the setting of the wedding to make sure that he gets the best possible shots. If he is already familiar with the place then that's great. If not, walk him around; give him your own personal tour, pointing out your favorite parts about it. Once all of the kinks are worked out, then it is time for you to sit back and relax, enjoy the festivities and be comfortable with the things that you have arranged. Everything should flow smoothly if everything has been organized properly, so there is no need to worry.

Photographers salt lake city  Wow, what a slice. I never thought I'd hear myself saying it, but we are indeed leaving Alberta. I've lived here just over 13 years, and in that time fell deeply in love with the Rockies. My wife and I decided a few months ago that it was time to move on; time for a change. Neither of us have ever sat too long in one place, and this has been the longest for both of us; a testament to how good Calgary has been.

It was here I started using a 35mm camera seriously, enough so that it's now a part-time career. Weddings and portraits make up the bulk of my work, but my first love is shooting landscapes in Banff National Park. This sparked the idea of conducting photo tours for visitors to the area, and I took an interpreter's course with the Mountain Parks Heritage Interpretation Association.

When conducting photo tours, I fell into a rhythm of locations I would bring my clients. I'll share it for the benefit of you photographers looking for a day or two of planned shooting. It is mostly based on a book published by a friend of mine, Darwin Wiggett, called "How to Photograph the Canadian Rockies". We struck up our friendship in 2003, when he asked for some preliminary editing help with the content, as well as some field testing of his chapter on Kananaskis Country.

Photo Tour Destinations

From Calgary, I'd head west, then south down Hwy #40 and depending on the wind, would shoot sunrise at any of the following locations: Lorrette Ponds, Wedge Pond, or Mount Kidd reflecting pools. The last one is a little more sheltered, as the wind will easily ruin the classic mountain reflection shot in the other two. Another favourite location is a little-known place called Meadow Lake, which reflects Mount Yamnuska quite nicely.

To get there from the Trans Canada Highway, head north on Highway 1X, which is at the west end of Morley Flats. Turn right at the "T" intersection, and a little over a kilometer east is the trailhead parking lot on the left. Walk along the service road to the west, and you'll see a path off to the south about half a kilometer from the parking lot. The trail itself is a short 10-minute walk, which is well-worn, but there may be a few fallen trees to step over. It then opens up to a beautiful meadow just before you see the lake, suggesting the reason for it's name. The location is at N51 06.965, W115 05.659.

Photographers salt lake city  After sunrise, I'd then head to Banff townsite and take the gondola ride up Sulfur Mountain, a popular destination for tourists. The view at the top is outstanding, as it overlooks the Bow Valley. Look for Two Jack Lake (it's another prime spot for sunrise, offering an alternate view of Mount Rundle from the usual Vermillion Lakes), and Lake Minnewanka, a popular scuba diving destination. Back down from Sulfur Mountain, I'd then go around the Minnewanka loop, where more times than not we'd run across mountain goats. Following that, head towards Lake Louise via 1A along the Bow Valley Parkway. There are many places to stop for pictures, most notably being the Castle Mountain lookout, and Morants' Curve - especially when there's a train about to go by. Well worth the stop.

Once at Lake Louise, check out the lake itself, then head up to Morraine Lake, a beautiful destination. Rent a canoe for an hour, but be careful you only take minimal gear in a splash-proof camera bag. Drive back down to Lake Louise and head up Hwy 93. There are numerous places for pictures, such as Hector Lake, Waterfoul Lakes, Mosquito Creek, Tangle Falls, Athabaska Falls, etc... all the way up to Jasper.

To take everything in I've described, you really need two days minimum - I've highlighted the main ones I've used for photo tours that usually just last one day. My usual sunset location is Vermillion Lakes, just outside Banff townsite. The view of Mount Rundle is classic, and you will no doubt run into other photographers, as it is a Rocky Mountain icon.

Cheerio...

Photographers salt lake city  So, that's pretty well it. The other thing I take away with me is the many waterfall pictures shot all over western Canada, and the regret of not getting out more than I did. One can't find enough adjectives to describe this area with all its grandeur and majesty. I will miss it dearly, and will jump at any chance to come back for a visit. If you live here, you're very fortunate. Drive/hike/camp as much as you can, and take your camera with you. If you don't live in this area, then it is a must-see destination. Leave yourself as much time as possible - and if I may recommend - hire a local interpreter for the time you're out taking pictures; they will add a dimension to your experience you wouldn't have otherwise had.

Alberta Budget Aims to Double Tourism by 2030

Excerpt from Rocky Mountain Outlook on March 17, 2021:

As part of the 2021 budget, the province will create and implement an ambitious Tourism Recovery Plan that will aim to double tourism spending to more than $16 billion a year by 2030.

“It’s a positive,” Rachel Ludwig, the interim CEO of Tourism Canmore Kananaskis, said. “The addition of funding for Travel Alberta is needed. The tourism sector has been hit the hardest by the pandemic and will likely take the longest to recover. We really need Travel Alberta to lead us out of this crisis and into recovery mode.”

However, it’s not yet known what role the Bow Valley – one of the most popular tourist locations in Canada – will play in the plan.

While more information is to be revealed, Banff and Lake Louise Tourism are seeing the planned additional funding as a positive.

“We are very pleased to see an increase in budget to support the tourism industry in Alberta,” Leslie Bruce, the president and CEO of the tourism organization, said. “Our industry is the hardest hit with the pandemic and needs this support along with continued support from all levels of government at least until we achieve mass vaccination and the final restrictions begin to ease.

“Our community in Banff and Lake Louise relies solely on tourism and there is still a long road ahead to rebuilding our economy here.”

The David Thompson corridor – Highway 11 and running from Red Deer to Rocky Mountain House and intersecting with the Icefields Parkway on Highway 93 – will also get $8.4 million to upgrade tourism and recreation sites.
