Athabasca Fantasy

[Kyle Jones]

Throwing this into the digital art section. Our afternoon at Athabasca Falls was during a light snowstorm leaving the sky as a featureless white blob. So I replaced it with a tracked Milky Way shot and went blue with the white balance.

What do you think?

I wish there was a little more space above the falls to make the Milky Way a bit more prominent. This is a fun result.

Yeah me too. When I looked through my shots I realized I did too good a job keeping the sky out.

Hey Kyle,

While it's difficult to tell it's the Milky Way in the sky, it seems obvious it is starts or perhaps snow in the sky. I think it's a fun photo that works.

Interesting project, and when I find one like this that almost works, I sometimes set out to do one on purpose with adjustments to my original shots.

Very interesting. Playing with white balance can often generate different moods from the same image. Even without the added stars, it is a very strong image.

I appreciate that. You've encouraged me to see how this version looks without the stars!
