Waiting for the Train - Morant's Curve, Banff

After having such warm winter weather in the rockies, the temperature sharply dropped to -20c on this morning! It feels especially cold when you aren't doing much moving, just standing around waiting. Patience pays off though, because I got my clearest view from this spot, I got sunrise colors, AND I got a train!

Thanks for watching

That's one hell of a final result!

Thank you so much! It's nice when your plan comes together, that's for sure!

No kidding

Beautiful scene, but very happy to see it in pictures and not be there.

Haha well thanks so much, but are you sure you don't also want to stand around in -20c? It's a fantastic time!

Great work there Kaitlyn. I especially like the added touch of warm sunrise on the sides of the mountains, too. Very unique train shot.

Love the end result of your patience! The shot is AMAZING. I really enjoyed the video as well.. Thanks for a behind the scenes look...…..

Just finding your video/captures on this site. Really enjoying them.

That is awesome. Sadly when i was in Calgary for work in Feb 2018, I only had 1 day for myself and went to Lake Louise. I had no time for anything but capturing a few birds I'll never see in Ottawa.

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! Trying to record more and put out videos more regularly in 2019!

Yes, limited time is definitely hard to work with! Lake Louise sure is a beautiful place, though. You'll just have to return and see more! There really is SO MUCH to see and do, in every season!
