4K UHD video: This was a dream bucket shot photo op! My bucket list shot has always been Moraine Lake in Banff National Park under fresh snow, but it is next to impossible to get. Here is why:
1. The 11 Km (7 mile) road to Moraine Lake closes every year on October 10th.
2. The lake often freezes over before there is a fresh snowfall, and you want the water in its unfrozen state to get the reflections.
3. Often the skies are cloudy after a snowfall. It is next to impossible to get clear sky at the same time as snow on the trees.
To get all three factors to line up is practically impossible, especially considering that I live 12 hours away by car. Being there at the right time is incredibly difficult.
But this time the stars came into alignment. I was there the day after a fresh early season snowfall, and when the sky was clear. Even better, I was the only person there during a time when normally there would be hundreds of people at the viewpoint. How was this possible? You need to watch the video to find out!
Moraine Lake is the most beautiful place in all of Canada. Photographs of Moraine Lake under snow, in high resolution, are not all that common. I have wanted this photo for my entire adult life and finally it happened. It has literally been my bucket shot. This 4K UHD video travel vlog is my landscape photography journey to get this bucket shot.
