The Big Dipper (or Plough in the UK) over Pyramid Mountain and Patricia Lake in Jasper, Alberta. I shot this on a cloudy night, obviously, but with some clear breaks, after a day of cloud and rain on Labour Day, Sept 1, 2014. The waxing Moon was still providing some sky illumination, and there might have been some low level aurora adding a general glow to the north. This is a single exposure, for 30 seconds at f/2.2 with the 24mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 3200.
