Great morning out in Banff and RTOWN is just finishing off a new feature. We're going to blow the lid off where to go to get the best Photo spots in the Banff area.

We'll go to some of the classics, some local secrets, just between you and me ;). I'm also going to throw in the best times of day to take each shot, maps on how to get there, and the settings used to capture each shot you see on Banfftv.ca.

Keep checking back for more tips and tricks on Photography in the Bow valley.
