Moonlight on Bow Lake #1 (July 6, 2012)

A moonlit nightscape taken at Bow Lake, Banff, Alberta on July 6/7, 2012. Illumination is from the waning gibbous Moon off camera to the left and from the vestiges of evening twilight. This is looking west toward Bow Glacier. This is a single frame from a series of 314 frames taken over 3.5 hours for a time-lapse sequence. This is 45 seconds at f/4.5 and ISO 1600 with the Canon 60Da and 10-22mm lens at 10mm. Saturn is just setting over the mountain at right, Arcturus is high in the sky at right.
