Autumn Sunrise At Maligne Lake - a photo on Flickriver

I was just having a conversation with Eric Gail the other day about how landscape photographers generally tend to fall into two camps: Camp # 1 would those folks who scout out their location and pretty much spend the entire sunrise or sunset shooting from that one location in 45 different ways to ensure that their shot is perfect. You might compare them to someone like Ansel Adams. Camp # 2 gets that first shot, makes sure it is in the can, and then takes off to see what else they can get before the good light is gone, similar to someone like Galen Rowell.

Tom Bricker and I are definitely in camp # 2. We left Mark and Todd shooting on the shore and both of us flew around the shore of the lake in all directions at once trying to come across more compositions before the sun disappeared. I was on my way back to my second camera body on the tripod when I came across this puddle and pulled up short as I noticed the reflection of the sky. This was just one moment in a morning of one epic scene unfolding before us after another.
