I joined a few months ago, but I believe that this is my first post.

I'm from South, British Columbia, Canada, and just took a quick trip to Alberta where I took these pictures.

These top 2 are the Prince of Wales Hotel, in Waterton Park.




a mostly frozen over Cameron Falls, again in Waterton Park.


These 2 were taken just down the road from the Bed and Breakfast where I always stay while visiting there.

the same 3 trailers, taken just 50 feet away.

I'm often amazed how quickly a landscape can change

A snow fence


And this was taken beside the highway in Banff National Park

Hi
This is my first post on here as well.
These are some real good shots real nice veiws. I really like the old wagons.
They are very dark on my screen are they from a film camera and scanned in.
You might be able to brighten them up a bit in Photoshop

Hi There, and welcome to the list! I agree the images look dark and oversharpened, but they show some potential!

Thanks for your input.

I've lightened them up a little, although you might have to click refresh on your computer to see any difference.
I didn't soften them

I have my screen calibrated to the printer my camera shop uses, so I never know how they'll look on anyone else's computer.

It's obviously a very beautiful location. The light seems nothing special, though. Most often the difference between a snapshot and a stunning landscape is simply the light; dramatic late-day raking light, or morning fog, or...something other than bland mid-day light.

At least one of the photos also seems to have the tell-tale halo's of a heavy-handed shadow/highlight adjustment. This should be invisible.
