Canadian Rockies and Vancouver road trip gear
Re: Canadian Rockies and Vancouver road trip gear
Wow! 😍
Such a wealth of Information and tips! Didn’t expect so much detail regarding the Rockies themselves - seems like you are a well travelled bunch of bears! Much appreciated all
Here are some notes/responses
- Our group - family of four … 2 adults and 2 older teens. I will have to find that fine balance between getting obsessed with taking photos and remembering it’s a family holiday! 😅
- 12mm - I never considered this for astrophotography and not tried either. To be honest I’ve not used it much at all. Will need a crash course! Help please
- Mount and Timelapse via mobile - really great idea and will def do some of this. Saw your vid Lettermanian and I’m even more excited for the trip now
- ND variable - thanks got one on order now!
- Bigger better zooms - I know the XC 50-230 doesn’t have the best build or reach but sadly budget is limited so can’t stretch for the longer XF lenses much as I’d love to. I bought recently a used copy but it’s plenty nice optically
- 18-55 - happy with my copy jonikon… such a versatile lens. Love those shots you posted - man that blue!!!
- Gypsy app - was in two minds on this but now tempted to purchase this. Assume GPS via mobile itself? Will I need a Canadian data plan or just via the iPhone hardware itself.
- Morants Curve and Moraine Lake - thanks ernest56 didn’t know about the curve so will research it. As for shuttles I’ve pre-booked a slot on 6.30 am bus out so good there. Will also probably do a ‘solo mission’ on our last day in Lake Louise and see if I can get there by car and park up super early for sunrise … 5.30 am or earlier if I can (gulp!)
- Drive to Vancouver - I’m planning to go via Revelstoke stopping at points along the way and staying overnight at Kamloops. The next day we are taking the longer but more scenic route (apparently) via highway 99 to Whistler and will stop at Joffre Lake if we get a pass. Then it’s the sea to sky highway to Vancouver downtown. Will add Shannon Falls to this leg!
- Bears - BobsYourUncle …your black bear sighting story is amazing! I’d be thrilled to glimpse a bear let alone have that experience. Have done some safaris in Ranthambhore park in India … seeing tigers in the wild almost stopped my heart. A very emotional experience and similarly will consider myself blessed if we see any wildlife in the Rockies.

We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.

In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
