When I was a young teenager I saw a movie that took place in the Fairmont Hotel in Lake Louise and I resolved to visit that beautiful place some day. Two weeks ago - that dream was realized - 53 years later. My wife and I had a fantastic - unbelievable visit to the Canadian Rockies and got to spend a night on the Lake in the beautiful Fairmont Hotel.
This is a room from our window on the 6th floor. We got to watch the sun set and sun rise. The sky and lake color are as we saw them. Over the next month I will be including more pictures but I will say - having visited Switzerland and living in Washington State - both with beautiful mountains - this area of the Rockies is equal in all ways.
I appreciate all the comments – I find them very encouraging. My primary photography is flowers and landscapes along with my grandkids.
Most of my photos are, “as they were taken.” I do work with lighting or darkening them in many cases (and sometimes I will sharpen them) but I try not to use too much “photo-shopping” If I do adjust them – I try to mention it.
My goal is to I try to keep my photography as photography and not turn it into art. While I do love the retouched photos, I personally think they become art and not photography – just my opinion.
