New Years Day 2014

Happy New Year

Well as I said in my last post 2013 was an awesome year and here is the start to what will be another awesome year.

New years day i got to spend the morning shooting with Callum Snape. We ventured dow to Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park. This is probably one of my favourite locations to shoot, especially Mount Rundle, which is the classic shot from here. To me Rundle just has more character from this angle and Two Jake is a beautiful place.

To get the shot below we ventured out onto the ice looking for compositions. All i can say is it was creepy listening to the ice crack and make noises below your feet its a hard feeling to explain. Although we were not far out and the ice is pretty solid it still had a strange feeling. We were lucky enough though to catch an awesome sunrise to start the year off, different from the usual way of starting off the new year with a head ache and a coffee.

There were some awesome lines and shapes on the ice created by the winds we have recently had and we picked up some awesome colour in the sky.

After the sun had done its thing at Two Jack we headed back into Banff. New Years day in Banff at 10am is the quietest it will ever be. We decided to try and get a shot of Cascade from a classic view down Banff Av. I had the opportunity to use a 10 stop filter of Callum's to allow me to shoot with a longer exposure during the day.
