Timing

Photo Randy Vanderveen, Jasper National Park, The early morning sky makes a meadow near the Ewan Moberly Homestead glow while heavy clouds keep the mountains in the shadows.

Timing in photography can make or break a picture. Whether it is the time of day, the shutter speed, time of year. They all play a factor in making a photo stand out.

While a person can plan all they want sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. There is an old Yiddish proverb that says "Man plans, God laughs". This week God let me laugh with Him.

I went down to Jasper to take some photos without much planning and things worked out. The fall colours were spectacular on the way there and back home. The elk were still out. And best of all I got back Thursday night.

Friday morning it was raining here and the forecast for the Grande Cache and Hinton areas for later in the day included a heavy snow fall warning of 15-20 cm.

While the snow would have made for good photos, travelling on the highways would not have been so great.

My timing allowed me to edit on a wet, grey, dreary day — beats sitting at the computer when the temperature's are unseasonably warm.

Hope you enjoy a couple of the shots I took while on my road trip.
