I Came to Visit Beautiful Places and Capture Memories (Banff National Park)
While at the Peyto Lake Overlook along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park with a view looking to the north-northwest across the valley between the mountains present to my front. My thought on composing this image was to minimize the overcast skies present by angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and creating this sweeping view cross this portion of the Icefields Parkway Peyto Lake would be the first thing noticed because of its turquoise blue waters but would lead the eye into the image with the mountain ranges on both sides.
Given the overcast skies present that morning, I attempted to meter an exposure to capture the most of the muted colors present and being able to include the details in the brighter portions of the overcast skies. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete color setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 6 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
