About all the local kids swim here during the summer months. Lots dive off of the cliffs in order to impress the chicks. Then complain about the injuries incurred loudly. Some of the cliffs are 50'+ in height. There were some girls jumping too but not as many and no complaints from them......things never seem to change. They should call it testosterone lake instead.

beautiful landscape... wish I was there.

Very nice color and perspective. It looks like a beautiful place to swim, hormones or not.


Dave Stacey   {K:115371} 8/3/2004
Very nice shot, Tim! I like the way you've got the lake going diagonally through the frame and the underwater rocks in the foreground. Great composition all around.
Dave.

I noticed your other post earlier. While both images look good, I think this composition is superior. You captured a good mix of vertical and diagonal elements, and the strong foreground anchors the entire scene.

Before commenting I checked out your portfolio and website. You have a very impressive body of work.

Wonderful shot, is this close to your home ? Hate to think of the serenity broken by the screaming and splating bodies on the hard surface from 50 feet. ( PS I used to do that !)

Excellent diagonal composition. Beautiful, as always :)


D. Setiadi   {K:197} 8/3/2004
I like to see more water than rock on the FG.
Overall I like the composition, colors and lighting.


Enjoy    {K:16125} 8/3/2004

Hi jim, This is still in Jasper Nat. Park. So its the kids from the town of Jasper that come here.


Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 8/3/2004
Hi Tim, nice scene and the water looks really inviting. How are you liking the D70? I'm struggling a bit with dust getting on the chip. Haven't had it long and need to get it cleaned already :(
Maybe it's a good sign because it shows that i'm using it :)
Best wishes from Switzerland
Neil

I love the various level of depth and details clearly defined by the lines that each of the details creates, from being able to see the rock under the water, all the way and away to the end of the lake and the clouds....

a supremely composed and executed shot!

Cheers


Patrick Reichert   {K:39} 8/3/2004
Simple, fantastic, just all your other photos. Thanks for your comment on my very first Usefilm pic.


Craig Garland   {K:27077} 8/3/2004
Hi Tim; this is a really super landscape! The vertical take is unusually effective here, and I love the underwater rocks in the foreground. It's a very pleasant trip for the eyes from the bottom to the top of this photo-- into my favorites! Cheers. Craig


Michele Berti   {K:14921} 8/3/2004
Tim, this is outstanding. Your whole work is outstanding and so inspiring. Keep it up, I really like your style.


Cleeo Wright   {K:565} 8/3/2004
Very nice! I like it.


P. Christine Skinner   {K:27338} 8/3/2004
Exquisite, breathtaking view. This is just beautiful and so what I picture Alberta to be.


bren sheehan   {K:1359} 8/4/2004
I like this one a lot Tim. I see we share similar tastes. I find myself shooting more landscapes in the vertical format rather than the traditional horizontal format. More dramatic I think, and helps lead the eye into the picture . Good work.


Tim  Schumm   {K:26927} 8/5/2004
Hi Bren, That struck me too.....yes we seeem to have some similarities . I like your work very much and hope to see more of it soon. Are you on the west coast? Oregon maybe?

Regards,tim


Linda Bique   {K:73877} 9/25/2006
I see a change in your work from the time this was taken...very nice image, you do have some stunning views in Canada. Beautiful composition again with the water as a lead-in, lovely view...you have a good eye, did you take art courses? Another nice one Tim..:) Linda


Tim  Schumm   {K:26927} 9/25/2006
Ahh I am purely self taught. and yes I think that set of pics was with the kit lens. I bought the 12-24 mm not long afterwards...never comes off the D70. Hope to get a D80 as I am heading to Argentina in a week.
Before the art thing was in my life I was a pro mountaineer. But had kids and that stopped. My wife a mountaineer as well, but all our friends were dieing in pursuit of this sport and now that we became responsible for little ones we had a lifestyle change. The Irony of all this is that my wife died 4 years later of a brain tumor and I had 2 kids 3 and 5 to raise alone. They are all grown now and doing well but that was a heads up for me as to doing what you want while you can. Never mind the fears about embarking on a new path.


Linda Bique   {K:73877} 9/25/2006
Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that Tim, how awful, life can be so hard and so unfair at times, well at least she enjoyed some wonderful times with you and doing what she liked. You are very brave and have really been through some life changing events. When I watch documentary's I always wonder what makes people want to do that. Is it the challenge? You look to be in excellent shape in your picture. Good for you, and it sounds like you made a smart choice to stop doing that and risking your life.

Gosh I quit smoking...LOL..ok not the same thing. Didn't want my son to grow up without a mother because she did something stupid. Mountaineering isn't stupid, but it is dangerous. Yes, I see what you mean about doing what you want when you can but then again that can be a fatalist way of thinking. Everything in moderation and you have to weigh the good and the bad, I think when you love people or they love you, you have a responsibility to take care of yourself for them. Then again maybe that's just totally wrong. LOL..oh well, that's the way I think.

Purely self taught. Well you're very good. I'm mostly self taught too. I wish I'd have gone to art school when I was younger, I'm glad I'm a nurse, but can't help but wish I had taken some art along the way. I've done some drawings, colored pencil and a little pastel work but I can't show them to you here...:) Linda
