One great thing about winter is how low the sun is all day. During the summer months when the sun is high in the sky, most photographers would never be out shooting in the middle of the day..shooting landscape images anyhow. High sun makes for harsh shadows, which makes for crappy, bland images. A low sun can cast long soft shadows and the light is not nearly as harsh. On my drive back from Abraham lake, clouds started forming in the sky and I had an immense urge to shot a lot of black and white images of Highway 93. I ended up with about 5 or 6 shots that I really like. The clouds were nice and interesting, and there was lots of contrast in the landscape. Hopefully I'll have a chance to drive a bit further south on the highway in the coming weeks to add to this series, and have a few images all the way from Jasper to Banff. Enjoy what the drive so far....
