Bow Peak and Mount Andromache (Black & White, Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: I took this image, I was mainly focusing on Bow Peak and the jagged mountains peaks off in the distance. When I later looked at the GPS coordinates and azimuth, I was able to determine that Bow Peak was the main mountain in the image center, but it is Mount Andromache off in the distance, which is on the other side of the highway and Icefields Parkway. Interesting trivia I noted working on the image later.

Spring is Coming to the Icefields Parkway (HDR) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: That's what later came to mind when I looked at the HDR image I took at Bow Lake that morning in May. This was a look across the partial melting surface of ice on Bow Lake. Off in the distance are peaks of the Waputik Mountains including Bow Peak, BowCrow Peak, and Crowfoot Mountain (I used peakpagger.com for this based on the GPS coordinates and azimuth I captured in the image data). For this image, I took five images exposing at different levels and then combining for a final TIFF using HDR Efex Pro 2.

Bow Peak Caught in the Morning Sunlight (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the NW while driving the Icefields Parkway. With the sun still rising, portions of the mountain and peaks were caught in light and other in shadows. This helped to really bring out contrast on the mountainside. I also liked the glow it added to the peaks.

Looking Across the Turquoise Waters of Bow Lake to Bowcrow Peak and Bow Peak (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: By getting down low, I wanted to capture the look across the lake waters to the far off peaks in the distance. For me this image was also about contrasts. The lower portion was blue and turquoise while the upper portion had colors of brown, green, gray, and whites. The lower portion had the ripples and waves across the lake waters while the upper portion had the jagged peaks carved out and shaped by glaciers over the millennia. I would also be remiss to not include a note about a nice cold breeze blowing across from the nearby Bow Glacier :-)
