Stairway to Heaven by PerriSchelat
I put some time aside this week to edit my sunset shot from Mount Assiniboine in British Columbia. This was a return trip to Assiniboine to get a better sky at a better time of day then I did the first trip. I really, really wanted this shot to be successful. When I plan my entire trip around the success of one image, things get stressful in a hurry.
Some of my fellow photographers will understand the procrastination that comes with processing a photograph that was very technical in the field. You know it’s gonna hurt!! My biggest concern was that my technique in the field might have failed me and I didn’t want to find out. So I slowly inched my way closer and closer to this image all week.
The evening I photographed this scene, I was faced with 30 kph winds and cold temps. The sky looked super promising and turned out to be terrific. Hanging out on my perch was pretty taxing. I had hiked to the Nublet with a friend who gave me his big puffy down coat to wear over my own. At that point I was toasty, but still concerned about my best strategy for controlling movement in my images and their quality using higher ISO’s and faster shutter speeds. I waited for lulls in the wind and shot for the mid-ground using faster shutter speeds. I used long shutter speeds for the sky to get soft clouds. In fact, in this image I used a 4 stop solid ND on the sky for an 8 second exposure. I blended the two in Photoshop.
Waiting for lulls and using faster shutter speeds paid off and I managed to find images without movement, blur or camera vibration all risks you run into shooting in high winds.
It was good to get down off that mountain. I was concerned that Noel and I would run into grizzly bears. I felt sorry for the photographers we left behind that planned on staying up there in that ferocious wind to shoot stars and then sunrise. I’m sure it was a very, very long cold and scary night.

Alpen Glow – Assiniboine by stefanforster
It is a magical often seen place in the middle of the rocky mountains. You have to walk in for 2-3 days or flying in by helicopter to capture this amazing mountain. I staid up on the nublet (this photospot) for over 11 hours. Sitting on a stone and waiting for the light. It was between 0 and 8 degrees celsius. So It was not the best place to stay so long. But this view is just breathtaking.
Diese Aussicht gilt zweifellos als eine der am meisten fotografierten von Canada. Was viele nicht wissen – man muss rund 2-3 Tage in das Gebiet reinwandern und auch wieder raus, oder mit dem Hubschrauber zur am See gelegenen Lodge fliegen und dann auf den Nublet wandern. Ich sass bei 0 bis 8 Grad rund 11 Stunden lang da oben und ging erst um Mitternacht und einigen Startrail-Aufnahmen auf den Campingplatz zurück, den man erreicht, indem man im Dunkeln rund 1 Stunde lang durch das Grizzly Gebiet läuft. Laut redend, um eine Begegnung mit nem Bären ausschliessen zu können.

A clear and calm morning from a backpacking trip in the Canadian Rockies. Mt Assiniboine, because of its pyramidal shape, is often known as the “Matterhorn” of North America. I have yet to see the real Matterhorn, but after seeing Mt Assiniboine, I am itching to see the real deal.
