Mt. Kerkeslin in Jasper National Park

Continuing a look back at our trip to Alaska in 2009 …

Mt. Kerkeslin and Horseshoe Lake

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II, 24 TS, 2-stop soft grad ND, 1/4 sec, f11, ISO 100

Image taken on July 4, 2009.

One of my favorite compositions, and one I've made on several visits, is Mt. Kerkeslin reflected in Horseshoe Lake in Jasper National Park. I love the way the shore of the lake follows the shape of the reflected mountains. I've had various cloud formations and amounts of color in the sky over the years, but I still haven't had perfect conditions, so I'll still keep going back. Plus, it's a great place to spend some time on a nice quiet morning.

The Canon 24 Tilt-Shift lens is great for this composition because the rocks in the foreground are only a couple of feet (about 60cm) away, and the tilt motion makes it possible to have the foreground and background in focus without stopping down too much.

Good example of how the tilt-Shift works!
I too like how all the lines work in this shot.
