Super landscape photography here. How could you deprive us of such good photos for so long, Walter, just HOW could you!?!?!?

That moon setting is another total stunner.
I love all the others, too, here, the wonderful reflections in those calmest of waters and the wonderful sky above Calgary, but that moon pic ... Wow!!! :love:

Editing was pretty standard - just slight curves for saturation/contrast, resize, sharpening. The first one (Vermillion) was desaturated until almost monochrome, but the colours are natural and unchanged from the shooting conditions. I used my 350D + 17-40mm lens for all of these except for the moon. I did the moon with my 70-200mm from a hotel balcony (as I noticed the moon approaching the mountain ridge), on a shaky horrid tripod setup (I had to mount the tripod column horizontally to get around a piece of the hotel balcony, which when you have a 200mm telephoto attached is not a very good way to do things). Otherwise there's not much to say; the calgary skyline was near sunset (with polarizer), rundle was right at sunset, vermillion was post-sunset on the same day I shot rundle, and the moon one was late at night after dark.

The EXIF information is intact I think; get something like FXIF (my favorite) to view this from your browser. With FXIF you can just left click and see EXIF information in the "properties" dialogue.
