MORNING GLORY

Our favourite time to shoot; early morning! When the world is briefly shown in soft glowing light, with colourful clouds and mountain peaks.

We will visit multiple locations during a MORNING GLORY photo tour and shoot from blue hour until golden hour. Be warned; summer sunrises are only for early risers.

Itinerary

The MORNING GLORY itinerary is mostly based on weather conditions and any specific requests. We aim to catch first light of day and we will shoot from blue hour to sunrise and throughout the golden hour.

Our choice of locations is dependent on multiple factors, including preferred subject matter, weather conditions and seasonal changes. Possible tour locations include:

  • Pyramid Bench, including Patricia Lake and Pyramid Island.

  • Across the Athabasca; including Lake Edith, Lake Annette and Old Fort Point.

  • Jasper Lake area; including Talbot Lake, Morro Bluff’s and Jasper Lake.

  • Maligne Valley; including Maligne Canyon, Medicine Lake and Maligne Lake.

  • Mount Edith Cavell; including Angel Glacier and Cavell Lake.

  • Along the Icefields Parkway (93N); including Athabasca Falls, Horseshoe Lake and Sunwapta Falls.

We acknowledge that Jasper National Park is located in Treaty 6 and 8, and the traditional lands of the Anishinabe, Aseniwuche Winewak, Dene-zaa, Nêhiyawak, Secweìpemc, Stoney Nakoda, Mountain Métis and Métis.

It is a privilege to explore and photograph these traditional, ancestral and rightful lands.

Skill Level

Our photo tours are tailored to the skill level of the participants, from first-timers to seasoned professionals, and are suitable to anyone with a digital camera (DSLR or mirrorless) with manual control of shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings.

Physical Abilities

Generally speaking a photo tour will include roadside locations and short hikes (>3 KM) on well-defined trails with slight elevation changes and uneven terrain. Our photo tours are tailored to the abilities of the tour participants and may be customized upon request.

Weather

The weather patterns in the Canadian Rockies are fickle and hard to forecast accurately. Moody days might not make for the best views, but besides grand mountain vistas we can photograph canyons, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, wildlife, trees, etc.

All photo tours will run in adverse weather, unless a Public Alert has been published by Environment Canada. In that case, a full refund, minus $50 admin fee, will be provided.
