The first time I visited Lake McDonald I couldn’t believe how clear it was. No matter how far away from the shore I looked, I could still see it’s rocky bottom. So I hoped on a kayak to investigate and the views under the boat got even better. It felt like peeking over a new world..

A dream come true- watching the sun rise over Floe Lake high in the Canadian Rockies. I do all my work outside, the seasons pace it, and I work with @canonusa to document the shift between them. Nothing makes an alpine photograph like a massive peak reflected on a lake, and this goes back hundreds of years in paintings. In photography it’s a little different because it needs to happen for you capture it.. To make sure the odds are on my side, I check the weather forecast and look for low winds. I wake up way before sunrise, usually the rise of the sun brings thermal winds. And lastly, I pick a low vantage point over the water to maximize the reflection of the landscape on it.. Nothing scientific, just prep and a healthy dose of patience. Shot on #EOS80D with 10-18mm STM lens.
