Location
Morant’s Curve is a beautiful area that the Canadian Pacific railway passes through along the Bow River. The location is not far from Lake Louise. It can be viewed from the Bow Valley Parkway, a scenic alternative route that runs between Banff and Lake Louise. It’s worth traveling this slower route, especially early in the morning because of the wildlife that can often be seen along the roadside.Time
Mid Morning about 11amLighting
The location in the mountains that day was a bit socked in with cloud.Equipment
This was shot using a Nikon D7100 with a VR 18-140mm Lens at f3.5-5.6, using a Tripod to steady.Inspiration

I shoot in Raw format so I used Photoshop to develop and brighten some of the dark shadowsIn my camera bag
Being an amateur I don't have a lot, much to my chagrin. As i mentioned i had just purchased a new Nikon D7100. To go along with it i have a Nikor 18-140mm lens as my all purpose for now. I all so purchased a Sigma-DG 150-500mm lens, as i love to venture out and do mostly nature photography.Feedback
If you are going to be up in this area, be prepared for quick weather changes, and dress accordingly. There is always approximately a 10 degree difference in Temp(Cooler) here than in town at lower elevation. I think best time to shoot is early morning. The sunrise and sunset times change from month to month. In August you still have full daylight as late as pm. Enjoy the View.
