This was taken last year near Jasper, BC, Canada. It is my favorite picture ever taken, partially because it required almost no post-processing (USM, and slight crop only).

It was the weekend after our last set of exams for the bachelor's degree, and a good friend and I decided to go on a photographic camping expedition. The weekend consisted of scouting the rocky mountains of BC and Alberta in search of photogenic spots, and mapping them for later use. Then, during the golden hour (sunrise and sunset), we would try to make it to as many of those spots as possible before the ideal light was lost. This meant stopping at each location for 3-5 minutes, composing a few shots, and frantically driving 140+ km/h to get to the next location. If there was such a thing as photography olympics, we'd be crowned. Here's a shot that my friend took of me as I was snapping the above picture: Capturing the Capturer
