Trying out a different style of processing here... I got the idea for this from a custom Lightroom preset I came across that attempts to emulate the style of the movie "300" (props to Mike Lao for sharing the preset). After some tweaking of my own, I'm quite pleased with the results... time to go through some old images and give them a new treatment!

Takakkaw Falls, the second highest waterfall in Canada, is one of Yoho National Park's premiere tourist attractions, which means hundreds of people photograph this cascade every day. Like anywhere else in the park, if you hike for even 5 minutes away from the parking lot, the crowds of tourists disappear...

The duotone was shot with my K10D / DA 50-200 from north of the falls along the Yoho Valley trail, while the other two were taken with the DA 18-55, from the more traditional vantage point just below the falls.

After 5 days of camping and hiking followed by a 13 hour drive home, I don't really have the energy to edit photos just yet. Here's a couple quick RAW converts from Yoho National Park:
