Three Sisters Milky-way
Milky-way in the Canadian Rockies has been an ongoing adventure for the last two years. Last year we were on a photo workshop and managed to find a location in Canmore that had the Three Sisters and the milky way aligned perfectly at a special time during the year. A Camera malfunction stopped our photos during that session. Probably my fault as the Canon R5 was new to me.
We waited the year for the alignment to occur again and then went out on the 29th of July and were able to get the Three Sisters and the Milky-way perfectly aligned. The resulting photo is below.
We took other photos that night and here is a selection.
In this next photo, we were lucky to receive a lens trial from Canon. We test-drove the 24mm F1.4 lens and we loved it.
The Three Sisters in Canmore is an iconic location for Photographers. To learn more about these mountains check out this review.
Two Jack Lake Milky-way
Continuing our journey with capturing the Milky-way in the Canadian Rockies, our next assignment in July while the Moon phase was in the New Moon stage and there was no Moonlight was 31st July when we managed to get to Two Jack Lake.
For three years we have tried to get a milky way shot at this location. For various reasons, we missed the shot. We had perfect conditions at the end of July. I got the shot.
Processing these photos was the same way. The Three Sisters Milky way and the Two Jack Lake Milky way had 10 photos taken. The 10 photos had Basic adjustments. Then they were stacked. Then the resulting image was adjusted for brightness and contrast. Topaz Labs Denoise and sharpness were then used.
The results are incredible on the large screen with a full image. They do look great printed on metallic or Acrylic and Canvas.
These prints are available on request and are not in the shop yet. You can contact us from our main page or from our Contact page here.
Milky-way in the Canadian Rockies
The milky-way season is from April to September in the Canadian Rockies. We are looking forward to the Milky-way season to capture more Milky-ways in the Canadian Rockies in 2023.
