This place is not exactly a secret - here's what the view looks like if you take a few steps back (that's my camera on the right hand side behind the girl climbing up the rock - thanks to my new buddy Chung, an amazing photographer who I met here this morning, for keeping an eye on my camera so I could get this "group" photo):

Beautiful view indeed! I cropped out all the mediocre scenery and focused on the prettiest part of the picture.

Impressive, @scottshots, that was a bold move.

derekkind (64) · 7 years ago

Yes, I can't tell you how happy I was when this camera was set up within my frame. I had been here since the middle of the night, and set up before anyone else, hoping and crossing my fingers that someone would come and place their camera and tripod there just before the sun rose!

scottshots (67) · 7 years ago

That was so helpful of them to lend you their gear for the shot. Sorry but I would have charged you if you wanted a photo of my gear. However I would sign a property release so you could use the photo however you wanted to...

derekkind (64) · 7 years ago

Unfortunately I lost their contact information, so I'm unable to send them the royalty checks.

scottshots (67) · 7 years ago

Well, as long as they don't recognize their gear, it's all your$.

I had the same thing happen to me at the Grand Canyon. I set up for a sunrise TL, and I though I was safe as I was as close to the edge as I thought you could get. I went off to set up my other cameras and when I came back later someone had put their tripod over the railing and right through my photo. I was able to crop and save the image but by doing so the image lost the depth and vastness of the canyon.

Sigh. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and think that they just aren't aware of how wide wide angles can be, but sometimes you wonder.

Oh, that is amazing shot from my bucket list ) I know how much you like your fellow photographers' gear, but let's imagine you were there alone. I have removed the gear, the facilities and admirers of nature on the shore.

It's quite difficult to edit something that's close to perfect already, although I didn't cringe when I saw yours this week like previous week, so thank you ; )

Hey Derek,

Firstly, thank you for this amazing RAW file, this was a lot of fun to work with. I'm planning to head west for two months of nomad backpacking this summer and I definitely can't wait to head out Banff ways :)

For this edit, I tried to keep that hazy beauty that comes from those highlights on the top right, I also changed the hue of the forest a little in order to maintain the warm feel of the shot. I also did a little spot fixing in the forest to remove the distractions. All in all though, this was a delight to edit. I can't wait till next friday :)
