Feeling a Cool Breeze As I Stand on the Shores of Herbert Lake (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across lake waters to more distant shores with evergreens and then snowcapped peaks of the Bow Range with Fairview Mountain, Mount Aberdeen, Mount Temple, and Little Temple (based on the PeakVisor app on my iPhone). What drew me into this view was the layered look with the lake waters, then evergreen forest, and then finally the mountain peaks.

Mount Temple and the Bow River from Morant’s Curve (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views from Morant’s Curve along the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park. My thought on composing this image was to pull back on the focal length and include foreground interest with the Bow River and some nearby forest. Mount Temple and other ridges and peaks of the Bow Range would be a backdrop for this setting in the Canadian Rockies.

Herbert Lake and a Distant View of Ridges and Peaks of the Bow Range (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking along the shores of Herbert Lake with a view looking to the south, across the blue waters. I loved how the evergreen trees and mountains beyond helped create a layered look with the image. The rest of the image composition was finding a spot where the trees and mountains lined up to complement the lake while also minimizing the bright sunlight across the image.

While the Icy Mountains Are Far From Me, I Think of Them Often (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at Morant’s Curve and the overlook there to the Bow River and mountain peaks and ridges off in the distance. The view is looking to the west. This location is along the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park. With this image, I decided to pull back on the focal length and have a wider angle view. By angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I felt I was able to create more of a sweeping view across the river and forest leading up to the mountains. That angling of the camera also brought the mountains higher into the image and helped create more of a sense of grandeur with those ridges and peaks.

Mountain Peaks Around the Valley of the Ten Peaks (Black & White, Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view to the southwest at Morant's Curve. Based on the azimuth/direction from this location, I was able to determine that off in the distance were Ten Peaks around the Moraine Lake area. With information from peakbagger.com, I was able to determine the most visible peaks of Mount Bell, Mount Babel, and Mount Fay.
