paulzizkaphoto:The is image number 6, called “Out of the Blue”.This is a self-portrait I took in early February. I had set up an ice climbing shoot at the popular Athabasca Glacier ice cave, and got to the parking lot about an hour before the climbers did. While walking towards the ice I noticed a green glow over my right shoulder. I power-walked to the glacier (you never know how long an aurora display will last!), thinking of an effective image I could set up quickly. I set up the composition, got the camera to shoot continuously, ran over to the cave, dropped a headlamp at the back of it, and then walked up that little pedestal of ice. This was the result.Thankfully, the show lasted well after the climbers arrived and were able to shoot some aurora climbing shots as well. The cave has since collapsed, but made for many memorable moments. I’ll share a few more in the comments here.My shoutout today goes to several fellow landscape Canadian photographers who blew me away with their work this past year: @waynesimpsonphoto, @DaveBrosha, @kylemcdougallphoto, @biglandhynes, @cjonesphoto, @stephendesroches, @danibanff, @viktoriahaack, @francis.gagnon and @nick_fitzhardinge, among so many others!
