Description
Capture the experience of being there, the mood, your feelings, the place, the time, everything. I was backpaking, camped by this frozen lake high in Alberta's Northern Rockies. I hadn't seen anyone in four days. It was so beautiful.Related content

This is a flawless photo. Wow- I always greatly admire your work, but you've outdone yourself this time.
To me, the horizontal line in the foreground sets the emotional tone here. If the line wasn't there, it would be a COMPLETELY different photo. That line is just so powerful.
Awesome.

Easily one of the best photos I have ever seen and it would be disrespectful of me to critique it, glad your back. I have been wondering since I saw this on photo.net how you got such a perfect sun-star, did you use a star filter?

Use a small aperture first. f/22 here. It helps greatly to use a wide angle lens also (16mm in this case) and to have the sun posistioned against other obstructions such as rock, trees, horizon, etc.

I have done all of those a few times but never end up with this kind of star, they are normally fat things with only 6 points. Would the air purity up there have something to do with it?

the number of aperture blades of your lens has a lot to do with it. I have a Canon EFs 10-22mm lens with 6 blades = 6 point star 
Marc uses a Canon EF 16-35mm lens with 7 blades = 14 points.
8 blades = 8 points, 9 blades = 18 points etc. with lenses that have an even number of aperture blades, the points of the star overlap, so the effect is not as nice.

Atmospheric conditions do have something to do with it at times. Also, keep in mind that every lens produces different variations of the sun star. This was taken with a Canon 16-35 f/2.8 II L.

it's the number of the aperture blades of the lens that makes the difference.
