Lake Louise – Canada Photography – Hot Spot

Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada Photography Hot Spot.

Lake Louise is situated between Yoho National Park and Banff National Park; in the village of ‘Lake Louise.’ Lake Louise is called Canada’s “Diamond in the Wilderness” and the “Hiking Capital of Canada.” It is located off the Trans Canadian Highway In Alberta, Canada. This area offers a tremendous diversity of recreational and sightseeing opportunities and is the perfect ‘canvas’ for all photographers, experts, and novices alike! We consider this a must-visit location while in the Canadian Rockies. This hot spot will inspire you with the breathtaking turquoise colors of this area. The water’s colors make dynamic images. Be sure to shoot the red canoes. The general rule of thumb, shoot anything red. We were here on a cloudy day, and our images were so-so. Try to pick a clear day—the sunshine will make all the difference.

Lake Louise Photography Information:

The stunning turquoise waters of Lake Louise provide a dynamic backdrop for any photo. To enhance the reflections and minimize the glare, we always use a circular polarizing filter when shooting on water. The presence of moving water also calls for a tripod to capture the milky effect in long-exposure photography.

A neutral density filter is recommended for daylight shots to achieve even longer exposure times and create a dreamy effect on the water. While sunny conditions are ideal for capturing the beauty of Lake Louise, don’t discount the dramatic impact of big storms with dark clouds rolling through. And as we all know, clouds can add an element of intrigue to photos taken on overcast days in the Canadian Rockies.
