Anyone Else?

Well Mike, I just got home, and I have over 1000 photos to process! It may take a few days to pick out the best, but I will have some beauties coming in the near future. :grumpy:

The whole trip was a blast, and I look forward to the Second Annual Rocky Mountain Tour next year. That's if some others want to make it a challenge for next year. :wink:

I hope all had a great time and enjoyed their visit to Alberta and parts of British Columbia. I know I did! :thumbup:

The photos posted on this thread are absolute jaw-droppers. What mind-blowing scenery, and the shots do it justice. Excellent work! And I look forward to Cyber Surfer's posts.

I am so sad I was not able to make it there this year...maybe next year (as long as it doesn't interfere with or is too close in time to the big Germany meetup at the end of May).

Many gorgeous photos came from this meet up!

I'll actually be traveling there next summer, so it's nice to see a little taste of the area beforehand.

Fantastic shots, everyone! It looks like it was a lot of fun.

I especially love all of those bighorn sheep photos-- and there's so many other lovely ones that would look amazing on postcards.

Cool to see some more TPFers in your photos, Jeff. Thanks for that!!!
And it was the bear of Photo 19 that attracted all those photographers in Photo 18? True fact is that the places round there are that crowded?
Most of your photos have so far suggested it is the least known, most remote, quietest, most undisturbed area of this whole wide world!?!?! It is not so??? :shock:

Jeff Canes · Aug 7, 2007

It was prime tourist season, that surprised me I thought skiing/winter was but that is number two, I (we) tried to avoid touristy crowds in my shoots

And yes the crowed in #18 was shooting the bear in #19, people where way to close, figured we where not the slowest, and black bears are typically not too aggressive :lol:

thanks for looking

Great shots Roy & Jeff.

Thanks for including the shots of the meet-up members, Jeff. That's awesome. I like how you have gone against the norm and included people in the shots with the scenery.

And Yes Corinna, it was peak tourist season and in many places it was very hard to avoid getting people in the shots...or to even get into position for a shot.
