moraine morning
shot at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, 614am, 6ish degrees, and not a drop of coffee in sight.
there seems to be something about August 24th and the Icefields area for me. i shot Bow Lake (just down the road) at around the same time on the same day a few years ago, when there was also a scarcity of that sweet black elixir of life.
getting up at 5am in a tent in the mountains when it's about 5 degrees isn't any easier a few years later either.
on the plus side, a number of other crazy bas... photographers had the same early morning shoot location idea, so there were a number of us to commiserate on the hour, temperature, and lack of caffeine. one such was Ken Kaminesky (kenkaminesky.com) who i had an enjoyable little chat with while shooting this frame. he was scouting locations for his next photo tour, so if this is the kind of place he'll be taking people to, you might want to look into booking with him. super nice guy; would be fun to go shooting with him.
(and no, i'm not affiliated, i just like to promote fellow Canadians.)
