'Cobalt Basin' - Lake O'Hara - a photo on Flickriver

'Cobalt Basin' - Lake O'Hara

While arguing over who gets to use the 100-200mm telephoto lens, things get rather tense between Brent and me.

I'm not sure the shot is even worth the drama. Not only does he keep telling 'pork pies' about having a girlfriend but he refuses to get out of my shot once AGAIN.

Despite these unbearable hardships I still somehow manage to capture a handful of banging shots. The scenery is on such an epic scale that I had to ditch the Fuji GFX100s and go back to my Sony A7R4...but will it forgive me for cheating?

After photographing the magic of blue hour at Lake O'Hara, we get up at misery o'clock to hike back up the mountain for our last chance at a spectacular sunrise. The snow and ice are spectacular but will we get the light we hoped for? Things seem to be going well until I lose my breakfast all over the trail and Brent demands that I clean up the mess with my saggy bag of noodles.

Will his claims about having a girlfriend be proven true and will my ultra-wide angle lens be wide enough to capture the majesty of this bucket list location?

There's only one way to find out.
