Along our trip from Japser, Alberta to Banff, Alberta, we stopped off at Peyto Lake. This large, turquoise coloured lake is fed from a nearby glacier (off camera left). The colour of the water is from the silt that is deposited into the lake. When the sunlit hit the silt particles at a particular angle, the unrealistic colour is produced.
The above photo was stitched together from about 8 shots, hand-held and panned from left to right. I wonder what sort of HDR image I could create from this, though it would technically only be of 1 exposure as opposed to a minimum of 3 that I typically use. When I took the photo, I thought I had AE (exposure lock) enabled though when I looked later, it seems I didn’t have AE lock enabled. Luckily, the exposures between the photos were similar so lighting is somewhat even across the panoramic.

Nicely done. Small typo in your title and description though. That lake is named Peyto Lake (not Peyote)
