aepelbacher 0 Posted June 18, 2004 Wait ... is there a slug in the corner ... near that rock? :-) jk ... this is gorgeous, as all of your mountain landscapes are. You're an inspiration to me, Steve!! Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 65 Posted June 19, 2004 I'm not used to lakes that color, Steve, since we don't have glaciers around here. The color is very striking, but I am not sure if I really like it or not. I guess I would have to see it live to appreciate it fully. The picture is certainly well-done and I would not want to take anything away from it. Link to comment
stevemarcus 0 Posted June 19, 2004 They are greatly appreciated. Lannie, the cyan colors of the glacier-fed lakes in the Canadian Rockies are, indeed, unbelievable. I was in complete awe the first time I saw one. I do hope that you one day have the chance to visit the Canadian Rockies. Link to comment
phalvorson 0 Posted June 19, 2004 A wonderfully done well captured scene! This indeed is the true color of these lakes. I was at Moraine Lk. taking a shot in '99 when someone from the former USSR told me he thought the pics from these CND lakes were propaganda and artificially colored until he visited in person. :) Link to comment
micheleberti 0 Posted June 19, 2004 Amazing landscape. I wish to be there. Greatly composed. Well done! Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 65 Posted June 19, 2004 Thanks, Steve. So do I. The angle, of course, intensifies the effect. I'm still trying to figure out why azure should bounce back as cyan. Some wavelengths are obviously being absorbed by the particulates in the water, but some are not being absorbed, but reflected back. On the ocean, by contrast, the azure sky often reflects back a deeper, darker blue in cold water, whereas in the Gulf Stream the microscopic organisms are also absorbing some of the blues and bouncing back some of the cyan. Let me ponder these things. Is there a scectroscopist in the house? Link to comment
josefine_stenudd 0 Posted June 30, 2004 An image of Peyto Lake sparked my interest in Canada, and this photo is one of the best I've seen! A little jewel in the forest... Link to comment
chris_minor 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Yeah this photo was suspect to me also. I love photoshop and for sure knew this was a fake...until http://images.google.com/images?q=Peyto+Lake&hl=en&lr=&start=20&sa=N (The link is to a google image search on the lake) With that I must rate this as high as it gets. Great shot. Link to comment
Christal1664882414 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Another beautiful capture. And I can testify that indeed the water IS this color. Glacial lakes are bright turquoise.....and to watch the sun or clouds move across them is a thing of beauty! Link to comment
