Guest Guest Posted October 3, 2004 They changed them long ago, but this scene was on our money for years. Beautiful shot of a Canadian landmark. Nothing to add or subtract i agree. Do prefer your other one with the trees but this gives a different perspective also. Nice.... 7/6 Link to comment
jayme 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Truly a wonderful image and the reflections are crystal. My only question: Is the water really that different in color than the sky? Wow! Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted October 3, 2004 The stillness of the water is remarkable! Amazing shot Steve. Link to comment
roberto p 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Another one of your great mountainscapes Steve! The color of the water and the reflection are breathtaking. Congrats! Link to comment
cristina_fumi 0 Posted October 4, 2004 I was missing your beautiful shots! What a fantastic place Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Waited a long time for a new upload, Steve, and you gave us a winner!! Great blues here!! BTW ... thanks for the two 11's. :-) Sorry, no prize other than my undying gratitude. I guess that if I don't give people a new upload often enough, they go hunting through my old folders for other things to look at. Thanks!! :-) Warmest regards! Link to comment

stevemarcus 0 Posted October 7, 2004 They are greatly appreciated! Jayme, the answer to your question is "yes", the color of the water and sky is (was) that different. Moraine Lake is a glacier fed lake. The lake water at this time of year is rich in very fine, suspended particles, usually referred to as "rock flour" or "glacial flour", which are produced by the erosion of nearby mountains by the freeze-thawing of the glaciers. By mid-late summer, glacier fed lakes, such as this one, become enriched for these particles. The color of the lake is not the result of a reflection of the blue sky, but rather from the reflection of cyan wavelengths of light (sunlight and skylight). Moraine Lake is probably the most intensely "colored" glacier fed lake that I have visited, although Peyto Lake is certainly close. Bartek, I did not use a filter for this shot. However, I did use a very saturated color slide film (Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color [EBX]). Link to comment
bartbies 71 Posted October 7, 2004 Ok , i asked because i see that you got a great lighting ballance between up and down in this shoot. Link to comment
stevemarcus 0 Posted October 7, 2004 I was VERY lucky. The shot, as I recall, was taken sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. In other words, not real early, but not mid-day either. The luck was that the sky was absolutely crystal clear on this day. Some clouds would have made it ideal. However, in the absence of clouds, the next best thing is a sky without any haze at all.

california-seascapes-photo 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Good to see some more of your quality mountain scenes. Except for the clouds as you mentioned and "maybe" a little more detail in the upper left, this is about as close to perfection as I can see IMHO. Outstanding work as always, I can never understand some of these low raters? Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 65 Posted October 10, 2004 I love the stark beauty of this one, Steve. It seems almost like an above-timberline kind of shot, in spite of the obvious fact that it is not. Link to comment
