2015 - Image of the Week #42

I hope what I said wasn't taken wrong, it wasn't meant negative.

Gosh not at all! One thing about this forum that I really like, is that everyone is friendly and encouraging. And the fact that we can all take a healthy dose of good-natured ribbing

BTW here is an image I took with my cell phone, while my camera was in the middle of the 4-minute exposure. Just goes to show, you can't go wrong at this location, no matter what you use to take the picture.

I have a ridiculously unfair advantage out here, as you can tell.

No doubt that Banff NP overall and Vermilion Lakes in specifically are beautiful....but it also helps to know what you are doing.

For comparison, here is one that I took that morning.

Set up a few feet to the left of Jonathan....I tried one exposure of 60 seconds (this was 0.8 sec)....but looking at and admiring what Jonathan did, next time, I need to try longer. But it is great fun to meet up with Jonathan and be directed to such an idyllic spot.

It still takes a level of skill and eye to maximize it, which you did. I liked the symmetry in your submission, sky to water that really made it.
