TITLE: The Lodge at Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake Lodge lies in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and is an incredible destination. Accessible by bridge in the middle of a pristine glacier fed Lake and surrounded by snow-capped peaks on all sides, the location truly is inspiring. I captured this image on a clear and calm summer night - the reflection of the lodge perfect in the stillness of the lake.

Richard Vandegriend is a self-taught Vancouver based photographer whose passion is landscape and fine-art photography. Believing that composition and timing are critical to a great image, compositional elements are not altered in post-processing. Instead care and patience are exercised to ensure the image was captured perfectly in camera. As landscape photography is so dependent on lighting and weather conditions, more often than not, great images are discovered rather than planned. One must give themselves the time and opportunity to discover these images.
