The Canadian Experience

Banff National Park, Alberta.

For many world travellers, natural scenery tops the list of attractions in Canada.

The opening credits just finished rolling, and the camera is panning from a waterdrop in the grass to focusing on the people. Cut.

Thanks, Steve. I need to find a movie star before production starts!

I'm really pleased to hear that, Mind Meld. This was a single-shot quick fire. I was watching though, while looking around. :-)

Perhaps photography for event coverage or just enjoyment will bring you to Canada, Sebas. I wanted some cloud detail but was afraid everything else would be black. I was lucky the trees and mountain turned out.

SJ Photography says:

The clouds climbing over the mountain in the background are a very nice detail. I don't think you need more clouds for this shot, it works very well as is.

I took that photo at 1/60 of a second. Thanks alot for your comments and compliments :-)

I can so see that. Wonderful shot, you are so lucky to have such beauty in your part of the world. It may go on my list of places to see.

I agree, Natacha. I don't think anyone tires of seeing mountains. They're so impressive and inspiring.

Thank you, Paul. I thought I would play online tour guide. :-)

Thanks, Meg! I would not be surprised if the mountains in the background been painted many times.

That's cool, Tim. I want to visit California for the natural scenery.

Banff is a spectacular place, Liz. I hope you get to visit.

I like the smoothness in the feel here - how the cloud floats so gently behind the mountain and the darker anchoring tree silhouettes. Beautiful composition with diagonal and straight lines... indeed the Canadian Experience, with people playing the role of visitors and explorers... thanks for the production! :)

Floating Imitations says:

Ann Marie, you are certainly describing what I liked when I was there. In fact, the smoothness you note is the reason I focused on the grass, to guarantee it. I'm glad you like this so much! I should hire you as my agent. :-)

Wonderful framing. I love the contrast and shape of the foreground trees. We certainly are lucky, and often take it for granted.

Oh, and I am happy to say that I have been to at least half of the top 10 in your link... Hopefully I will someday see or do the rest of them too ;-)

Floating Imitations says:

Thanks, Colleen. We are indeed lucky to live less than two hours from such an incredible place. With respect to the list, I want to do some more travelling too.

Erica, I'm glad you enjoy the view! :-)

Thanks, Amanda!
