Fresh snow falls over the boreal forested hills in Kluane National Park, Yukon Territory, Canada. Canon 5D Mark III, 500mm f/4L IS II, 1/125 sec @ f/6.3, ISO 200.
It is upon us. The edge of winter that is. It’s a beautiful time of year with autumn colors broacasted across the hillsides and mountain slopes. It is especially beautiful when a snowfall comes a little early, before the leaves have fallen, and the white decorates the leafed out trees. This happened when I was in the Yukon Territory, in Kluane National Park this week.
I took this photo with Canon’s new 500mm version II. I use the 500 for landscapes often, and while it does not serve as a great test for the lens, it worked beautifully. I took a series of these images and stitched them into a panorama, this being one of four.
Patrick, You do get around, don’t you! And I see you also took the big hit on a new 500. Nice lens.
And what program do you use for stacking? I just attended a seminar and saw what Helicon Focus can do for landscapes. Impressive.
Jim,
Yes, liking the 500 so far. It appears, at a first glance that the vignetting is much improved, which becomes a notable factor when merging images into a panorama. I use photoshop, which is pretty simple, clean, and integrated with Lightroom. It works well.
Hey Patrick
Nice image; the snow really sets it off.
Kluane is a great park to visit; you’re welcome to go over and photograph there as often as you like. 🙂
Cheers
Carl
