#523 Morning at Swiftcurrent Lake

2009-08-06


Hi everyone-

Today's image was shot on a beautiful July morning at Swiftcurrent lake in Glacier National Park.

In any direction that you looked there was an awesome sunrise image to be had. It wasn't terribly breezy, which is good for ay sunrise in Glacier.

This image was created by merging 12 hand held vertical shots in Photoshop. Then I played around with the color and bringing out some of the details. When printed the image will be 2 feet ish by just under 6 feet. Now to find a good wall...lol

Have a great day!

#521- Glacier Is Fun, Bring The Kids...

2009-08-04

Hi everyone-

I hope yo all had a great weekend and Monday. Sorry I missed yesterday's post. I went up to visit with my dad who is still recovering from hip surgery but seems to be doing very well.

Today's images were shot in Glacier National Park on Logan Pass. There were a lot of mountain goats in the area and they were pretty animated, chasing each other, playing and climbing on some very steep cliffs.

It was a lot of fun to watch.

In the first image see if you can spot all the goats. There is actually one more than you will be able to count, but during this image he was hiding behind a rock.

In the second image these two kids were running and playing and just bounding through the beautiful summer day. They were a lot of fun to watch and photograph.

I hope you have a great day, thanks for stopping by!

#437 Trail Of The Cedars...

2009-03-17

Hi everyeone-

I thought I would do a landscape shot for today since it has been a little while since I've posted one.

This was shot along the Trail of The Cedars in Glacier National Park, Montana. It is a cool area where the moisture content is right to create lush rain forest like conditions in of all places the Rocky Mountains. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a rain forest but you can see by the types of plants that grow here the moisture content is quite high.

The trail is a nice quite place to walk and it leads you to the Avalanche Creek area which is another amazing sight to behold. As you walk back the trail which is a raised boardwalk you are enveloped by the lushness of this area. The light is low because of the dense forest canopy and the sound a bit more subdued because of the lush plant life.

Its and easy flat walk that anyone can do. Very much worth the time.

These two images were shot at the same location this past fall. I sometimes find forest images to be a bit busy so I wanted to experiment a bit with the treatment to see if it made any difference in the image. I'd love to hear what you think.

Have a great day!
