Back to business
27Aug08

With the move more or less behind us it’s time to get back to business. Today that meant catching up on some stock submissions that had been accumulating in my outbox. This shot of Vermillion Lakes near Banff, Canada, among many others will soon be available for licensing through Robert Harding World Imagery. I’m still backlogged in my post-processing but it feels good to be moving forward. I have two weeks before my travel schedule picks up again. We’ll see how much progress I can make before then.



Beautiful shot. Interesting tonal range, did you go psuedo hdr on this one?

I didn’t do a whole lot to this one other than duplicating the layer, setting it to multiply, and using a graduated layer mask to bring back the original foreground. One of my Photoshop methods of replicating a graduated neutral density filter and darkening skies. I spent a significant amount of time on the frozen edge of the lake that night continually shooting as the light changed. I particularly liked this brief period where the mountains were shaded by clouds but the foreground tree line was all lit up. One of those very memorable evenings.
Here’s a previous post with more photos from that shoot.
Now that’s all kinds of tasty. Terrific shot Mike. If my company was in Banff – maybe I’d rename it to Blanff. Or not.
