51° 19' 38.99" N
116° 10' 49.61" W

Equipment: Canon EOS 5D with 20-35 lens, polarizing filter. Taken at f22 for 1.3 seconds and set at an ISO of 50.

Digital imaging/manipulation: Slight exposure adjustment

Notes: Pictures taken from the surface of the lake tend to loose its color. A better vantage point in most cases is at the top of the moraine which essentially dams the lake. There is a trail off the parking lot that leads to the moraine top. A graduated neutral density filter would be a real help here. Wish I had thought of that before going there.
