What Mountains Are These (Hwy 93 Banff National Park)?

[DarkAisling]

I'm hoping someone can confirm the names of the mountains in this photo. The photo was taken on Hwy 93, facing southeast, from 52.176875, -117.055358.

Is that Cirrus Mountain on the left and Big Bend Mountain on the right? Are they unnamed?

Cirrus Mountain on the left (the whole of the rocky ridge is Cirrus - the summit is to the left in your photo).

On the right side of the valley is an outlier of Mt Saskatchewan (the summit is further to the right, out of sight)

From the photo it looks like your are at the lookout for Panther falls, overlooking the Big Bend. Very nice area!

EDIT: also the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River.

I've got a great slanted light summertime Kodachrome taken from the same Sunwapta Pass vantage point.

Nice light frosting that covers everything in the OP pic !

Thant is one cool website. Wish I knew about that one years ago when I was hiking in the mountains.

Pretty sure that's taken just up from the hairpin turn, jaw dropping beauty, pics don't do it justice.

Thanks, everyone.

ARG: That is a very cool website!

twofifty: The effect on the image is called "Bleach Bypass." Back in the film days, the bleaching part of colour film development would be skipped to produce the effect you see in the image. Now it is done with software. I love the effect, but hubby hates it: which is pretty typical of people's responses to it. They either love or hate it, with no real inbetween. I don't have the shadows in the image quite right yet.

I love my "digital darkroom" . . . it is much less messy than my analogue dark room was. :)

I'm working on a series of images using this effect. My goal is to show completely over-shot locations in a (hopefully) fresh way. I've been inspired by a photographer from California, who has produced the most fresh and original photograph of Moraine Lake that I have ever seen.

Here's another one, from another very popular and completely over-shot location:
