Description

Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The only way to get to this locale is by commerical boat. I swapped out the sky (used one from my Colorado trip) because the sun was practically in my eyes when I took this shot, and the sky was washed out.

F10, 1/200th sec, ISO 400, 24mm focal length

Exif: F Number: 10, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D
