Following the Rapids Upstream with the Yoho River and a Backdrop of Mount Ogden (Yoho National Park)
This location is a little upstream from the noted Meeting-of-the-Waters Viewpoint with the Yoho and Kicking Horse Rivers. Before making my way down to that point though, I decided to look upstream and take a wider angle view of Yoho River as it flowed by. My idea wasn't just to capture a sweeping view of the river, but I also wanted to include the mountain and hillside of trees is a backdrop. I found it easier to do that by angling my SLR camera slightly downward. That perspective really brought out the sweeping of the river and created a feel of just how tall the mountain was off in the distance. It also helped that the skies above were slightly cloudy and overcast so there was no real need to include any of the skies above for the final image.
