Evening twilight reflections in blue at Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, BC. This is a single 3-second exposure at f/5.6 with the 20mm lens and Nikon D750. I used an indoor white balance here to enhance the blue.
The Big Dipper (left), Polaris and the Little Dipper (centre top), and Cassiopeia (right) over Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, BC. Lights from Emerald Lake Lodge illuminate the trees. The light from perpetual summer twilight lights the sky deep blue. In early June the sky never gets completely dark at this latitude. This was June 6, 2016. This is a stack of 4 x 40 second exposures for the ground (mean combined to smooth noise) plus a single 40-second untracked exposure for the sky, all at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 14mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 4000.
The Milky Way over the side pond at Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, BC., from the bridge to the Lodge. Lights from the Lodge illuminate the trees. Perpetual twilight near solstice (I shot this JUne 6, 2016) lights the sky deep blue. Saturn is the bright object in haze shining through the trees at right. This is a stack of 8 x 25-second exposures for the foreground (mean combined to smooth noise), and one untracked exposure for the sky (to minimize trailing), all at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 14mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 6400. Unfortunately, I should have framed the scene a bit more to the left to take in more of Cathedral Mountain. Oh well! It was at the end of a long night!
