Cave and Basin in Banff, Alberta - Royce Howland

"At the Cave and Basin location in Banff, Alberta, there are some natural hot springs. They're one of the historical attractions of this area of the Canadian Rockies, dating from the early days of the westward expansion of the railroad. The hot springs flow all year round. In the winter, warm water vapor rises and coats everything nearby with fantastic & intricately detailed frost. Here, a pair of converging / diverging heavy tree branches looked to me like the outline of a dragon's head, complete with a blast of frosty breath from its nostrils. In a winter wonderland, there is a lot for the imagination to play with!"

by Alain Briot

Having a successful photography shoot depends in large part on how well prepared you are. But what does it mean to "be prepared?" And what is involved when preparing for a photography shoot?
