Rockies In The Rear View Mirror
posted Sunday, 10 May 2009, 13:15 (+0800), by Martin
I'm working in Canada for a couple of weeks, and on Saturday, I went for a drive to Waterton Lakes National Park, in the south of Alberta.

I used the side mirror of my rental car to take this photo of the snow-covered Rockies.

Fantastic shot, love the use of depth of field in the reverse fashion from how it's normally used. Love the effect!

Looks like you're still in Aussie mode though - you must have been in the passenger seat rather than driver's seat to take this picture! Hope you're driving on the correct side of the road!

@Richard: thanks for the feedback.

Actually, I was in the driver's seat when I took this photo, but I used the passenger side mirror, as it provided a better view than the driver's side mirror.

Here's a link to a very similar shot I took in Arizona.
Thx

@Greg: that is indeed a similar photo....but taken in a much warmer climate ;-)
