I’ve been going through my Alberta and British Columbia photographs from our trip a couple years ago. This photograph today was shot from the top of Sulpher Mountain in Banff, Alberta. It’s a place that requires you to take a cool gondola ride way up the mountain.  You can check out more info on the gondola here.   I never process every photograph from shoots right away – referring to personal images. I believe that you’ll process the images at the perfect time. By not processing all photographs the night I get home, I don’t rush the vision and I also allow the memory to marinate in my mind.

This process gives rebirth to the entire vision. I spend the time recreating the feeling of the memory and peak experience. Sure those tree’s in the foreground were pretty bland and boring at the time. Marika and I kept wishing we were back when the trees were more vibrant green and other flora in season. The odd thing, is that when I remember the scene in my mind, everything was beautiful. The sky was so expansive because we were up so high on Sulpher Mountain, and the mountains in the background were freakin’ majestic. Shooting partly into the sun helps to create the nostalgic lens flares and light rays.

Daily photo 45 of 360 is an HDR created from 5 images shot on a tripod. Let me know if you’d like to hear more on the post processing workflow. *Reminder: You can click the image and it will load a lightbox.  If you’ve got a large monitor, you’ll see the image at 920px wide, but if you are on a smaller monitor it will give you an way to see the image fully too.
