'Edge Of The Season' - Lake O'Hara - a photo on Flickriver

            On our September day hike to Lake O’Hara, Amanda and I were confronted by a Park Ranger who clearly thought we were crazy.

She took one look at our huge packs and asked “Are you intending to camp?”

When we explained that we were only doing a 22km round trip day hike she seemed skeptical.

“What’s in the big bag?” she asked.

“Mostly chocolate and the rest is filled with camera gear” I replied.

This seemed to pacify her somewhat, but she left with a dire warning that if our vehicle was still found in the parking lot tomorrow, we‘d face a hefty fine.

To this day I’ll never know if the poor owner of that red Toyota Yaris received a hefty fine.

I kid of course...

It was a Corolla.

For this image I did the usual trick of blending bracketed exposures to protect those high contrast shadows and highlights.

I took an extra exposure with sharp focus on that rock in the foreground. It was then really easy to mask in the rock using a layer mask in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking
