Cameron Falls - Wateron Lakes National Park

I spent a few days in Waterton Lakes National Park this past summer.  If you have never been to the park, you have to go;  it is spectacular, beautiful, grand, breath taking and well, I think you get the idea...  the prairies join the mountains creating a terrain not common in Alberta and provides landscape photographers a choice of many features to shoot.

So, being the tourist, a trip to Cameron Lake was in order; on the way up, I made a stop at what I call Upper Cameron Falls.  There is a lower Cameron Falls in Waterton Town site, but they have been shot this way to Sunday.  Below are two pictures of the upper falls, which I managed to get by scaling down the cliff side to a slick area below the firs set of falls; if a person doesn't get down there, the angle of the shot provides no perspective.  The first shot is looking upstream (obviously), the second downstream (again obviously), with the second shot providing a view into the Waterton Lake valley.

Both shots were composed on a Nikon D3S, using a Nikon 25-70 mm F2.8 lens, an ND filter and taking a 7 frame bracketed exposure, then processing in CS4 and Photomatrix for the HDR effect.
