Wenkchemna Peak!

Cyber Surfer · Oct 29, 2006

This mountain is very near Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks! Wenkchemna means "10" in the local native language. Taken with a Canon 20D and a Canon 17-40mm F4.0 L lens.

Beautifull,You have a good eye I think.I love the distant mountain and the shadow of the mountain you cant see.

This shot is fantastic. How high is this beauty?

Cyber Surfer · Oct 29, 2006

Around 10,000 feet.

You know, these landscapes are just flat-out JAW DROPPING.

Have you considred getting a large format camera? becuase you'll get a ton more detail in these than with any digital SLR (for the exception of maybe the 33MP hasslblads).

These should be printed as giant blowups, not 8x10's, but 20x30 at least.

If I could afford one, I would, but for now the Canon 5D will have to do!

Wow! wish we had mountains like that.

With not even a HILL anywhere in my nearer surroundings, all these mountain panoramas will never ever cease to fascinate me, and your photos have so far ALL fascinated me, Roy. All of them that you have shown on here so far! This one is no exception at all.

"amazing" & "awesome" almost due this justice. :thumbup:

Another great shot.

This one looks a little hazy compared to your others. Maybe a small 'S-curve' adjustment would bring up the contrast.

Were all your recent posts shot on the same trip?

Wow what a sight, the sheer drop is amazing. Good one Cyber Surfer

Thanks for your comments and accolades. The Jasper shots were taken on October 9th, the Moraine Lake shots were July 23, and Wenkchemna was July 23 as well. I live only two hours from Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and 5 hours from Jasper, so I get back several times a year, and always look for the best lighting conditions. The Moraine Lake shots held me in suspense for four hours, until the lighting was perfect. It was worth it.

I hope to revisit next summer and get some new ones with my 5D. It should prove interesting!
