Patches of Clouds Around the Bow Range and Peaks Near the Continental Divide (Black & White, Banff National Park)

            This was taken while waiting for a much anticipated train visit to Morant's Curve...much anticipated! So during those minutes of waiting, I used the time as productively as I could, metering and exposing to determine a good capture given the clouds and overcast weather. What I wanted to do with this capture was take that image looking just beyond some nearby trees to the curve of the Bow River at this point. One would then see the low clouds all around the far off mountain peaks. I later converted to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 2 and worked to bring out that drama of the tonal contrast for this famous setting.
