Camp in Jasper

One of my favourite sets of photos from the story was the ones of Maya's camp. It was photographed in the Overflow Campground in Jasper National Park in Alberta. The campground was wide open and almost empty... We covered the picnic table with our tarp, and I proceeded to set up the scene... The lighting was perfect that evening, with filtered sunshine on the mountains in the background. I had spread gravel on the tarp to make a more realistic setting and tie the foreground into the background. But a picnic table isn't all that big, so the edges of the tarp would show in some of the photos. So I took some photos of the gravel on the ground so I could use it to hide the tarp in the foreground in the photos later in Photoshop.... I also superimposed some real flames over the fake fire for the final photos....
