Looking for some photogenic streams

[Ramsayfarian]

Hi folks,

I have a chance to sell some of my landscape photos via an interior decorator. They like my mountain shots, but also want some shots of some streams. If anyone can recco a spot or two, other than Elbow Falls, that's within an hour of Calgary, I'll name my first born after you.

I have a beautiful stream in my back yard.

Bring me 6 Wild Rose beers, I'll drink them, then you have about 30 seconds to get a photo of the stream*.

*No photo's of the streams origins allowed.

I was kind of expecting something along those lines. Nice work, but I'll have to pass. My dreams of becoming a professional photographer, never included being the next Maplethorpe.

Johnston Canyon is nice... it's about an hour away*


if you drive fast

Big Hill Springs just north-west of the city is very nice. Takes about 25-30 minutes from NW Calgary

[Ramsayfarian]

Thanks guys. One could make a day out of it and hit both places.

Marble Canyon's a pretty cool spot for photos too, but again a bit of a drive.

troll falls - kananaskis

a series of falls, first one is about 30-40' in height, then next ones are smaller but are awesome too. great couple hour return hike. a local might help you get to the higher falls, which can be a little hard to find for some people.

Bragg Creek is lovely.

Does it have to be a mountain stream? The badlands make a spectacular backdrop for the Red Deer river, and the leaves are just starting to turn. With good weather forecast for the weekend things should be in a prime stage for autumn badlands/Red Deer river shots.

Sheep River Falls - west of Turner Valley

Cataract Creek - Falls - sw of Longview

Ghost River/Waiporus Creek - nw of Cochrane

Sure, but what's my cut?

[Ramsayfarian]

Thanks everyone, sounds like I might make a weekend of it.

/Regulator75 - I'd pay you, but then you would lose your amateur status.

There are some really cool streams/river on Highway 93 between Banff and Radium. Some of the trees there are burned out but there is still a lot of great photo ops - might be too far though.

You seriously only need a 30 second piss from six beers?

Damn!

[troutman]

I know some photogenic Brookes.

[Hack&Lube]

I can provide you with some high-res action shots next time

Think of it this way - the bigger the hose, the more water it can release at once...

More like the shorter the hose the quicker the trip.
