Orion over Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta March 1995 at Full Moon 28mm lens at f/2.8 Ektachrome 400 slide film
A 360° panorama of the night sky and prairie landscape from the Visitor Centre and farmyard at the Old Man on His Back Prairie & Heritage Conservation Area in southwest Saskatchewan. The Milky Way arches across the eastern sky from north to south, while an aurora display (faint to the naked eye) glows in an arch of green and magenta across the northern horizon. The pioneer house was built in the 1920s and this was a working ranch until the 1990s when the land was turned over to the Nature Conservancy of Canada to turn into a natural area to preserve the short grass prairie habitat. This a stitch of 8 segments, each a 1 minute untracked exposure at f/3.5 with the 15mm lens and ISO 4000 with the Canon 6D. Stitched with PTGui software. I shot these May 18, 2015.
Taken from Morant's Curve on Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park near Lake Louise, Alberta. Lone dot of light on distant mountain must be from Lake Agnes Tea House on Little Beehive Peak above Lake Louise. Taken with Plaubel Makina 6x7 camera with 80mm lens stopped to about f/5.6 (less during train passage) and about 20 minute exposure on Fujichrome Velvia 50 slide film, 120-format.
