Landscape photography in the mountains is nothing short of magical, but add in a soft sunrise and pure white snow... breathtaking! Today I explore Bow Lake at dawn and head towards the summit after daybreak. Join me as I share my settings and techniques for capturing images in this wintry wonderland, but mostly we will marvel and be inspired by it all.
