We visited Banff recently and the scenary there is spectacular! I had the oppotunity to meet up with a great landscape photographer Nick Fitzhardinge for an evening/night session. We started off in Canmore in the evening and then proceeded to different locations throughout Banff to capture the Milky Way. I had never done astrophotography before and have limited landscape experience but Nick was a fantastic instructor and knew the right spots to go to. The smoke from the wildfires didn't make for optimal pictures at our originally scheduled date but he was able to look at the weather and found a nice evening/night that worked out. These are a few pictures from the night time session (I'm still going through the evening pictures):
Downtown Banff:
This is a panorama from 11 images. I hadn't done a panorama before (outside of my cell phone which is a lot easier). Nick pointed out the green in the sky is unfortunately not aurora but airglow, which is light in the atmosphere (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddar...glow-the-colors-of-the-upper-atmospheric-wind). The bright light on the left is the town of Banff
This is me on the dock, we had a great time playing with different types of light in long exposure
