 Photo Feature
"Wading for the Right Shot" Bow Lake in Banff, Canada
by William H. Smith

About the shot:
This month's Photo Feature takes us to a tranquil scene in Banff, Canada. Bill Smith snapped this shot of his photographer friend, Darwin Wiggett, during a workshop on Sept 26, 2008. (Darwin's website is: www.darwinwiggett.com.)
"We had hiked in an obscure trail to the outlet of Bow Lake and the start of the Bow River, in Canada's Banff National Park. This is the end of the lake that tourists don't see. Darwin had waded out into the river to get a shot up the lake. I was taking some shots of the lichens and mosses a little further downstream. When I looked up to scope out another image, this just caught me."
About the Equipment:
RRS Gear in the Image:
BH-55-PCL ballhead with panning clamp & a B1DMklll-L-plate.
Shot was taken with a Canon Rebel EOS 400D, lens EF-S 17-85mm/f4-5.6 IS USM, f/22 @ 0.5s, focal length 41mm, Singh Ray LB Warming Polarizer, 2 stop ND Grad |

 Frequently Asked Question:
Q: If I already have the Pano Elements Package, what do I need to buy to shoot multi-row or multi-column panoramas?
A: To upgrade from your single row Pano Elements Package, order the Ultimate Omni-Pivot Package (includes a PCL-1, an MPR-192, a CRD-Rail, & a neoprene pouch). The Pano Elements Package plus the Ultimate Omni-Pivot Package equals Ultimate-Pro Omni-Pivot Package, which allows simultaneous horizontal and vertical panning.
Need a hotshoe level? Try our Dual Axis Spirit Level, the RRS-337. With bubbles in two axes, it offers much better precision than any single axis level. Use for better leveling when shooting panoramas. Or if you live by the coast, like we do, use it to ensure a level horizon when shooting that beautiful sunset. Keep one in your bag!
