Alright, I'm finally getting around to posting some of the photos I took during my camping trip near Banff, Alberta in mid June. I've started to enjoy taking a lot more portrait oriented photos for landscapes, especially when mountains are involved, to better get some foreground in the image. Also starting to enjoy using 50mm focal length instead of always opting for the wide angle approach.
Starting a couple pictures from our campsite. This campsite was probably the best I've been at in terms of views. Would go there again haha

Next we went to Lake Louise to do a hike. With the weather being kinda rainy in the forecast for the time we were there, the clouds were doing some interesting stuff, and fog was always around in the morning to make for some interesting views.

Couldn't finish the rest of our hike as the top part was covered in too much snow still, but the lake at this point was still neat.

Also, this view along the trail was pretty darn cool

Next day we went to Emerald Lake on the BC side of the border. This was actually taken at the end of the hike as no one was around on the return except for this lone kayaker on the lake.

This is probably one of my favourite landscape shots taken at 50mm now. It was cool how the creek lined up with the mountain in the background

The final day before heading out, we visited Peyto Lake as it is just a short 10 minute drive from our campsite. I was up on the boardwalk and saw people taking pictures down below and thought it would add to the photo.

Not as many were taken this trip as we only went camping for a couple nights instead of almost an entire week.
