About	Debbie and I hired a helicopter to get these shots of the Columbia Ice fields In Jasper Nat Park. We timed it for the sunrise by sleeping in the parking lot in order to be ready for the early lift off, hoping for a sky with broken clouds to maximize the lighting drama. We were lucky as the weather was perfect. The flight was the price of a new camera, but worth it in my mind as we got to see sights that you would never see otherwise....it was just stunning....I brought both of my D80 camera bodies, one with the 18-200mm lens and the other one with the 12-24mm lens. The flight was bumpy with lots of vibration and many of my shots were blurred or had the rotor blades in the shots. But by bracketing all my shots i usually got one out of three if i was lucky. The flight was 55 minutes in length and to short in my mind. I wish were were rich so that we could have been up there all day! On the way back I was shooting images through a open window in the helicopter which made it way below freezing and very windy. The unfortunate part of this was that upon bringing my camera in from the window my filter mount caught on the edge of the window and flew out and away. The only good thing about this was that it did not hit the tail rotor or i may not be typing this story right now. Well that made this flight twice as expensive as a result.....lol.....such is life.....smile, be happy!

I love that texture and detail in the snow, and particularly set off against the darkness of the sky, Tim!

Hi Joggie,
Always great to hear from you my friend. It means a lot coming from you!

Hi Alessandro,
Coming here sounds like a great idea. Let me know if you do! I will be living quite close to Calgary by that time. Better make it for a good length of time as you won't want to leave afterwards. Also there are so many climbers here so if you want to do something it would be fairly easy to find someone i am sure.
