Banff – The Canadian Rockies – March a good time to visit?
Banff and the Canadian Rockies offer so much to visitors at any time of year. Visitors will always ask, when is the best time to visit? However, the answer is not so simple. If you wish to experience the Banff National Park landscape, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall – it is always magnificent! As a landscape photographer in Banff, I endeavour to capture images in all seasons, at all times, to convey Banff National Park Landscape Art.
Canadian Rockies Landscape Photography, the landscape Art that can be created here is exciting and challenging. The genre of Banff landscape Art, by dedicated landscape photographers, is a prominent choice for the Decor of home, office, lobby, reception rooms, and public spaces. Banff National Park in March and the springtime is a wondrous time for landscape photographers to create beautiful images of the Rocky Mountain landscape.
Black and White pictures of Banff and the Rockies are a classical and revered genre of Art for your walls. The landscape in Banff and the Canadian Rockies in March and the Spring, can provide some stunning subject matter, engaging light, and special scenes. Part of the craft, indeed a major component for landscape photography wall art – is to find a place, a subject and a scene – when there is the special light ( because photography is drawing with light! ) to mix together into a composition that draws the viewer.
Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on human-made features or disturbances of landscapes. Landscape photography is done for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most common is to recall a personal observation or experience while in the outdoors, especially when traveling. And if you wish to have more than a cell phone snapshot to remember and feel your memory – my website ( www.gitaphotos.com ) can be browsed from your home, at your leisure – and offer you “Special Moments in the Rockies, Captured in a Print Forever.” So please, do browse and use the LIVE PREVIEW AR ( Augmented Reality ) Feature – to see the image on your wall and how it fits your space!
Nature photography can be both documentary and art at the same time. Perhaps the best nature photography has this quality.
I believe you will find images to match this need and be delighted with the many views, seasons and scenes I have captured here in the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park.
Why is photography considered a form of art? Photography captures emotions, moments, and perspectives that connect with viewers. It requires skill, creativity, and a unique vision from the photographer. As a Landscape Photographer, I hope you will browse on my website and view my Banff National Park Landscape Wall Art!

Gita Photos is a Landscape Photography Studio based in Banff, Alberta and Banff National Park a World Heritage Site.
Hi, my name is Ron Hallam. I am truly blessed to be able to live in and work in this stunning location; Banff, Alberta. I closed in and renovated the deck of my condo to be an editing studio. The studio is paneled in Alberta cedar. The main part of the ‘studio’, though, is the Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies!
My work invloves hiking through the Park to find locations where the natural wonders of the Rockies are illuminated by the natural light of the moment. As one client testimonial put it, I want to offer you “ an instant escape to someplace magical” ( Jane Fedosoff, Toronto, Ontario) Another client commented “Ron's photographs are not just beautiful images of the Canadian Rockies. They are Ron himself – his life experiences, his love for this place and his eye for detail- that show a depth and unique understanding of this special place we are lucky to call home.” (Phil Monod, Banff Alberta)
I’m in the second half of my life. I spent the first half running a ski shop and skiing and hiking in and around Banff National Park. I tinkered with photography for a long time - first with disposable cameras in the 70's. Needless to say the disposable left everything to be desired and I walked away wanting more, much more.
Then, for one special hiking trip to Nepal, I purchased a proper SLR camera. The SLR provided better images, but I still needed time to learn and study and work at the craft of image making and film processing. Meanwhile, the time commitment necessary to run a shop (and my shop was a passion) meant work gave me limited spare time. That translated into playing when I could, took precedence over study of camera, technique and processing.
So, upon retiring - for my second half, I wanted to stretch and work my “creative muscles”. I got down to focused and dedicated photographic endeavor. That started with a new DSLR. Then I began to study image making seriously. I learned about the digital way of image capture and developing (editing).
The Rockies Landscape is so grand that larger Panorama shots are a favorite for me to create while, but as you can see from my work, everything in this magnificent place draws me to capture images of all kinds of landscapes. I like to work in both Color and Black and White and would love to hear which you prefer as your format of choice, and why.
Every time I make an image, it is the direct result of letting the “something” inside me come up to the surface, and compel me to record that moment of what I’m seeing and feeling. I want to engage you to see the Rockies, and feel the Rockies exactly the way I do. I want to try to have you try to understand and engage with my perspective, and point you to the exquisite, intricate and profoundly intelligent designer - the God who created this natural world.
Then, if you are awed by creation but also perturbed by economic disparities in the world, I hope you will browse the Art Battling Poverty Gallery dedicated to Poverty Relief and assistance for the marginalized. While you and I enjoy the beauty of the Rockies, many are struggling simply to survive. When you purchase my Art from the Art Battling Poverty Gallery (or indeed any image purchase) just tell me to donate to either of the NGO's I work with, at time of checkout. A portion of each sale, 15% – read the ABOUT Art Battling Poverty Tab) will be donated to in your name.
Have a browse and find “ A special moment in the Rockies, captured in a print forever”. And when you purchase you won't only have a special print, but you will also be giving Hope to the marginalized.
