I went to the Johnston Canyon to make observations for something else, but found some time to take 6 to 8 seconds exposures holding the camera over the hand rails.

Early this morning I went for a walk in Johnston Canyon, there were a couple of things I needed to do and also decided to take long exposures before the crowd moved in. With the overcast weather, the conditions were ideal for taking the long exposures. I started with the Lower Falls and worked my way to the others. When it got busy, then it was time to enjoy the hike back to the car.

As the temperature rises, snow an ice has started to change to water, but last week there was still lot of snow and ice to enjoy at the Lower Falls in the Johnston Canyon.

This morning before the Sun rose I hiked into Johnston Canyon for a hike and to take pictures of the Upper and Lower Falls. I started with the Upper Falls, the ice was amazing to look at, did just that before I started to pick the spot where I wanted to take pictures. Just as I was making my way to the top to take the posted picture, ice climbers were moving in. After taking pictures from the top of Upper Falls, I then headed back to the Lower Falls.

I paid a visit to the Johnston Canyon for a walk and to check on few things. It was evening, lot less crowded then middle of the day. These day you have to go there first thing in the morning, end of the day or during cold weather to find the popular Johnston Canyon quite. Before I left, I took few long exposures at the lower water falls.

Few times a year I like to walk through the Johnston Canyon. Being one of the more popular hike year around, I tend to hike it before anyone else shows up. Having the place to myself for a short while, I get to take pictures without getting me or my equipment in anyones way. Seeing the narrow canyon during different seasons, one gets to see the different faces of the place. When the snow starts to melt during the warm days in the spring, the power of the water is amazing. And during the cold winter days , the beauty created with water and ice by nature is worth seeing even during a very cold morning.

Johnston Canyon is one of the busier place in Banff NP, but being there early in the morning I had more for less the place to myself. I was out there to take pictures of the falls, here is the lower falls.

Upper Fall
Melt and rain water making its way through streams, creeks and rivers. Going from area of high to low elevation. Along the way navigating through all sorts of obstacles, including quick drop of elevation.
Small Falls
When I go back to an area I had been to before, I try to come up with a pictures that are different then the ones taken on my previous visits. Sometime the weather makes the process much easier, this time it was going to be about the water. I always have certain templates in my head for a picture, but far more fun being original. I was visiting Johnston Canyon early in the morning. As I was heading for the upper fall, I kept looking at the water to see what would work, it would be nice to include the fall colours. On the way back I started to take the pictures, along the way I would change lens to take pictures of the birds and the leaves that had their fall colours. But I would focus back to the water, to come up with a picture I had not taken before. I was able to and the added bonus of the fall colours.
Until next moment,
