![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1654 W: 79 N: 1456]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (4742) | That day was our last day in Jasper National Park and we were about to head for Wells Gray National Park.
Just before we left Jasper NP, we decided to go up to Mt Edith Cavell & Cavell Lake. 14 kilometres of unbelievably bad road, uphill ... We had driven some of the worst roads in Africa and Mexico, but this must have the been the worst 14 kms in our lives! We almost decided to go back (multiple times in fact), but when we reached the place, we were so glad we had persisted. We asked ourselves: could this be the most beautiful place in the world? There was virtually noone (just one quiet Japanese photographer and his quiet family of 3 and us). We were so happy. :-)
Mount Edith Cavell & Cavell lake
Mount Edith Cavell and Cavell lake are located in Jasper National Park.
In 1916 Mount Edith Cavell is named to honour heroic British nurse executed during WWI for assisting prisoners of war to escape German-occupied Belgium.
Mount Edith Cavell is located in the Athabasca River and Astoria River valleys of Jasper National Park. The mountain was named in 1916 for Edith Cavell, an English nurse executed by the Germans during World War I.
A close up view of the north face of Mt. Edith Cavell is visible after a short hike to Cavell Meadows. The trailhead is by the parking lot at the end of Mt. Edith Cavell road. The trail to the meadows is 3.8 km one way, rising 370 metres (1,200 ft) to 2,135 metres (7,000 ft). The Canadian Rockies Trail Guide describes the trail in detail.

Polarizer, f22, etc. ;)

Hi Elroyie and many thanks for your words.
The lack of reflection has got nothing to do with the polarizer, but with the use of f/22. Just look at the picture I posted as a workshop. Same place, only minutes earlier, WITH polarizer, but only f/9! The reflection is there.
The f/22 (larger DOF) of the original made the stones in the lake very visible/clear, thus creating a lack of reflection. I had seen so many reflections in Canada before, that I liked this one better than the one with reflection. Reflections are boring! :)
In short: The polarizer has NOTHING to do with the reflections.
Always in a friendly way,
Pieter |
