A First in Banff National Park - Can I Pull It Off?
I've had an idea for an image in my mind for a long time but I'd need some good timing, patience, commitment and a little skill to pull it off. An astrophotography shot from a location I have never seen one taken before!

East End of Rundle (EEOR) - Canmore's best sunset photography spot?
I enjoyed your video. I was a little disappointed because I thought you were going to explain how to get around the crowds. I used to teach outdoor education during the 80’s and 90’s and I spent a lot of time in the Lake Louise area with my students but in the last 20 years it has got so busy that I avoid this area.
A few of those spots in the video are much quieter. As for getting there a lot has changed since I made this video! Parking is stricter and shuttles have changed a little!
Man , u nailed it ❤❤. U saved me from a lot of planning N stress. Being a photographer and videographer, I can’t thank enough and how valuable this is .
That was outstanding.
Do u need a permit if ur not staying overnight?
You'll still need a national park pass but no camping/wilderness pass as far as I know!
Awesome video!
Be there end of September to hike and looking forward to it. Great suggestions and awesome work!
Was in banff last week, over from the uk, just wow, what a place.
I will be staying in Canmore and I’m trying to figure out where is the best place to go take a shuttle for sunrise in lake Moraine like you did but to also be able to take a shuttle from there to lake Louise. Is that possible? I checked online but they had an option for both (just not for sunrise)
It's a tough one, there are more and more shuttle companies each year. However moraine lake bus company are super useful. Give them an email and they might be able to help you out.
That was a great watch, and as you say, it's so unusual to see something completely new. Thank you
Thank you 🙏 appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Watching this video is one big waiting game starting with 2 minutes out of 8 minute video to get to the point
It's a UA-cam video, sometimes people watch them for entertainment and want to see the whole process. Feel free to use the very convenient chapter time stamps to navigate to what section you feel is more valuable. Hope you learnt something anyway!
that's a beautiful shot bro!
Thank you 🙏
What a great video thanks.
Appreciate you watching
This is such a unique idea. Great work! Do you think this spot would be accessible in mid June or perhaps there would be a higher avalanche risk?
Hey! Thanks for watching! On a normal year I'd say it would be good in June but this year the snow was around later. You'd also want to wait further into summer if you're after the stars.
@@simoncennals thanks Simon!
Even the day time shot of the waterfall and mountain is pretty epic. Shooting at night and including the Milky Way is over the top. Good work, Simon.
Thank you! Felt it turned out pretty well. It's a fun little spot!
Hi there, which month did you take this video? I'm looking at going in December and im hoping its not that cold 😂
This is January. It could easily be that cold in December though so come prepared. Recommend traveling with blankets and some food incase you do breakdown so you can stayed warm. There will be no gas stations open and no cell service between lake Louise and Jasper. And check road conditions before you go. Snow tires are a must!
@@simoncennals thank you very much for the information 🙂
How long will take the purple trail? there and back
I'd say about 3 to 4 hours with plenty of stops. Longer if you do the ravine too! Lots of ways to shorten it and extend it though
6D has better colors. I'm not a Canon shooter but looking at a 6D or 5D II. I went mirrorless from a FF Nikon system and regretted changing. However, my Nikon D750 was incredible in all areas except colors. Blues and greens were awful and I spent a ton of time fixing them in post, which drove me away. Looking at 5D II and 6D, their colors are naturally more realistic than the Nikon. I'm also considering a D700 Nikon, but Canon colors are more punchy, despite the D700 having most other abilities better than the Canons. But output is what I'm after.
I absolutely loved this video. Very different from most in Iceland, and as good as anything I've seen recently. Thank you
Thanks Martin I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏
6d with dual sd card slot is a perfect camera.
Awesome environment. Did you drive all of the Ring road?
We did! Parts of it kept closing due to a late winter storm but we managed to get all the way around!
@@simoncennals Excellent.
Incredible part of the world. Lucky you to have been there. Still on my bucket list. Which lenses did you find most useful?
I probably mainly shot on my 16 to 35 with a fair few images also on my 70 to 200. There were a few times where I wished I just had a 24 to 70 though as I think that would have covered most bases. An amazing country though!
@@simoncennals Were the volcanoes active while you were there?
We actually saw part of the eruption from the plane but the eruption near Grindavik is very closed off so you can't get close.
Hey! I'm planning a photography trip to Iceland with a friend, so this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together. Amazing vid. One question, what time of the year did you go there? We're thinking around March to have a chance to still see the northern lights... but we fear the weather might be too harsh to go to certain places... any thoughts?
Hey Martin, appreciate you watching. We were there at the start of June and there was an unusual winter storm that came through and shut parts of the ring road. March will be a great time for some photography on the south coast. You won't really be able to get inland as easily and the highlands areas don't open until mid June at the earliest really. In March I'd be prepared with a plan B in case weather does close roads. Part of the ring road goes though mountain passes so those can get snowed in. Just give yourself an extra day or two so you can wait things out or change plans a little! Hope that helps! I'd love to go back in winter!
@@simoncennals Awesome advice! Thanks a lot! Will keep this in mind
Stunningly Beautiful!!
Such a stunning country!
The time, money, and planning involved to make a video like this, with these quality... If you’re reading this and have not liked and subscribed, this is your second chance.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful country with us! Such interesting videos and photos!
Thanks Leah! Was an incredible trip.
Beautiful 😊
That shot at 7:06 is beautiful! I wish we could see something like this. May I know the date when this shot was taken?
It was May 10th/11th but the date doesn't really matter when it comes to aurora it can be very random!
@@simoncennals Got it! Thanks for the quick reply :)
if I only do landscape, I wouldn´t bother to upgrade. The 6D is more than enough
I'd agree with you there. Although the tracking focus is fantastic if you want to shoot yourself in the scene. And the flip out screen is a great addition
Beautiful! If anyone is thinking of trying just be aware there are only a few weeks out of a year where this is possible. Just before the road opens...usually mid May and right after it closes in mid October. If you try too early or too late after that the road will be covered in snow.
Check out the full video on my channel if you need more info!
Great Video!
Learned something new today!!
Thanks for the guide. Which lens were you using?
Using a variety of Canon L lenses. I actually put the focal lengths used in the guide for each location!
This was such a cool idea, thank you aooo sooo much ^&^
Very interesting to see my city with the eyes of a photographer. I am impressed by your running capability. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, the hike looks amazing. What time of the year was this done? October? Were planning to go during this time so hoping to see those fall colours!
This was probably more mid September. Larch season is fleeting and if it snows in the area this hike becomes more than a hike!
Thanks for the tips. I scheduled my trip to Jasper on a new moon and hope to get some great Astro shots.
Great technique, very well explain
I don't think the newer mirrorless bodies are designed to have "better" image quality. Image quality should, more or less, be the same logically. I think the only reason why one should consider switching or adding a mirrorless body is for practicality, mainly AF and speed. I never expected better image quality, but I like my R6 on top of my 6D ii which I love, because of it's Eye tracking and two cards slot.
Subscribed and purchased the Banff and Icefield guide! Will be in Banff, Jasper and Yoho NPs this month. I’ll let you know what will be the impact of these guides to my trip.
Hope they come in useful!
The r6 has weird colors, I much prefer the 6d..I upgraded my r6 to the r6 mkii and the color rendition is almost as good as the 6d. The 6d really is a beast of a camera, if you don't need the advanced autofocus of the R bodies it's really a hard camera to beat.
I’ve lived in Calgary since 1976 and have not known about all these shooting locations. Thanks for sharing your great shots and shooting data. I have been there at Moraine lake at sunrise and it was a real treat to witness an event that is gone in 15 minutes. Definitely worth getting up early to see. Regards Gerry
Thanks for watching Gerry.
What lenses are you shooting with?
Hey dude, a multitude of lenses from Sigma and Canon. If you're interested you can download my Banff location guide and it has focal length recommendations for each location.
Excellent video! Have not done this yet, and will try!
this hike made me want to cry
Beautiful photos and great video. Been there in summer and you would be deep in the river for those spots. There is a trail along the shoreline in the woods. A beautiful spot that is for sure!
Thanks Jeff, I'll need to give it a go in summer too!
Just wow!!!
Amazing shot!!!!❤❤❤
面白かったです😊 R6は高機能でエンジンも新しく使いやすいですが、かなり高価です 私の場合は星景写真や天体写真しか撮らないので、6Dで十分かなあ
This technique is called sandwiching and was around long before photoshop.
Well first time I've ever heard it called that!
Fantastic!!
