New on 500px : Monolithic by everlookphotography by everlookphotography

Kirkjufell
Iceland

Probably not much more needs to be said about this location. Lately , not being able to shoot because of the new baby has been a little frustrating (especially watching the stream of awesome images from the people I follow here and elsewhere) but has been a good time for reflection. I’ve noticed that I’ve had negative feelings creeping in about what other people are doing or shooting and really, that is just so absurd and out of place with why I started shooting that I’d like to shoot it dead now. I still remember the awe of seeing this spot (especially after 2 days rain clearing) and I really shouldn’t let the fact that it is photographed so often now detract anything from my experience. So I wont 🙂 So here it is , another representation of our joy shooting this spot !

New on 500px : Moraine Lake Sunset by miketlim by miketlim

Reprocessed my favourite photo of Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

It took a 2nd visit to Moraine to get the glow I wanted in the mountains and tree-line surrounding the lake but I loved the results.

Moraine’s distinct shade of blue is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis by the glaciers surrounding it.

This photo was manually blended using Photoshop CC from 3 different bracketed exposures.

Apologies for having to re-upload this photo. I noticed a few colour casts that I was unhappy with and had to remove them.
