Frozen bubbles, waterfalls suspended by winter, glacial ice caves, stalactites and stalagmites… Winter in the Canadian Rockies has it all! If you are up for an adventure, looking to sharpen your photography skills, and you are captivated by the beauty of ice and snow, this 7 days Canadian Rockies Photography Workshop: Winter Edition, guided by Rachel Jones Ross, Kah-Wai Lin and Michael Choong, is for you!

 

 

Winter in the Canadian Rockies has ‘seasons’ within the season. During the early stages of winter, there is still open water with reflections, yet the landscape is blanketed by mounds of pillowy snow. As the temperatures continue to fall, the landscape is transformed. The Canadian Rockies Photography Workshop – Winter Edition will focus on the stillness of winter that comes with the chill.

 

December is the perfect time to photograph the famous methane bubbles at Abraham Lake. By the second week of December, the entire lake is frozen, and the bubbles have had time ‘stack’ into deep layers as the ice freezes. We will spend at least two full days here, exploring the endless compositions this lake has to offer.

We will use the iconic Emerald Lake Lodge as our home base for the Canadian Rockies Photography Workshop. This is our favourite ‘home away from home’ in the winter months. The staff are warm and accommodating, the food is delicious, and you can step outside of your cabin to get a world class photograph of the Canadian Rockies.

Using the lodge as a home base means that we may have a bit of extra driving to get to locations (most shooting locations are between 20 minutes and an hour from Emerald Lake) but it also gives us the perfect place to sit by the fire, edit, and have classroom talks if the weather does not permit us to shoot.
