My pleasure and your welcome. How long was the exposure? Had a nice feel to it.

I’d have to dig up the RAW file to be sure but I believe I shot the sky at 1/50 sec, ISO 50, F22 and the foreground at F22, ISO 50, 1/10 sec

How do you even get to places like that

blinkysmurf t1_j4hgity wrote

There are hundreds of places like this in BC, just pick one.

Often, “all” that is involved is driving for hours and then hiking for hours.

13 hour drive from Vancouver BC. It's in the middle of nowhere basically :)

GeekyLogger t1_j4ia0f3 wrote

I grew up there. Can confirm it is still the middle of nowhere 20 years later

I still regret not buying an "I survived The Hill" shirt at Kopas store in the 80s.

CrowsinPrism t1_j4l3l7p wrote

The hill truly is one of the wildest sections of "highway" I've seen in Canada. Back when I worked out in bella coola I was told it was blasted by only two guys. If you've been on that road it's hard to imagine how that was even constructed

Half of BC looks like this

adrienjz888 t1_j4ikqb3 wrote

A lot more than half. Over 700,000 km² of BC's 944,000 km² is mountainous, more area covered by mountains than the total area of Texas. The northeastern corner of the province is the only large area that's fairly flat. The lower mainland, where 2.8 million of BC's 5 million people live, is only 36,000 km².

Amazing shot, the sun just peeking out is a great touch. Just curious, beyond what you listed, was there any effects used to get the water to look almost like threads?

Br81 OP t1_j4jsel2 wrote

Ty🙏. It was shot at around 1/10 sec which give it that look plus some dodge and burn to give it a bit more pop

Gorgeous! I once knew a guy with a cabin out there in Bella Coola. Always wanted to get up that way, amazing place to explore and shoot no doubt!

It’s an amazing area, the beautiful scenery is endless. A lot of it’s pretty hard to get to thou

The color palette makes me think there's an orc pack nearby trying to hunt down a certain Dwarvish Prince and Co. Out of this world.

Thanks! Do it! Haha

That area is also home to the sea wolves, a really fascinating grouping of wolves that hunt and interact with both the land and the ocean. They're only found in a small area on the coast and can swim from island to island, miles at a time.

Villa Vellakulla. I know, I grew up in BC and used to think of this often when the cartoon was airing on Teletoon as a kid.

This sunset was the result of a clearing hale storm but before that it was about 25 C 😎

Br81 OP t1_j4jtahn wrote

Ty, it was actually about 25 C for almost the whole time we were there. It wasn’t until the last day we got this storm rolling through.
