Sunrise over Two Jack Lake (Banff National Park) av 12thSonOfLama
In mid-September I had the pleasure of visiting Banff National Park again and made a point to check out sunrise over Two Jack Lake. In the distance sits Mount Rundle which glowed brightly on this chilly fall morning. Shortly after being blessed with this sunrise fog encapsulated the lake as the warm air that would ultimately push the cold and created one of the more memorable mornings I've had as a photographer. Ten minutes or so after I took this picture the mountain was invisible from this side of the lake because of how thick the fog was.
Historically, because of the dispersion in color between the lights and darks in this photo I would have HDR'd the heck out of it. However, as my post-processing has evolved - in large part because of this group - I now find myself manually blending alot of my images rather than using programs like Photomatix. To create this image I edited the 'normal', 'light' and 'dark' exposures in light room before bringing them into Photoshop and painting in the darker sky and tips of the mountain. I used the 'light' exposure to bring out the trees a bit more since they were dark even in the 'normal' exposure. Once I was done with that tweaking I moved the whole photo into OnOne Perfect Effects and applied dynamic contrast to everything but the sky and added a subtle glow on the water to make it a little darker than the rest of the photo. Very pleased with the look of this photo and think I'll be printing it and putting in my office at work to remind me of why I put up with the 'daily grind'....got to pay the bills to afford to travel like I want to!
