Grey Skies

Today I went on a photo hunt with Chelsey. We pulled over on the side of a gravel road to take a few shots. I don't know what it is about this shot that I like. In fact its a boring shot...but there is something that I like about it.

Calgary Traffic

This is another shot from my night drive. I have been wanting to try a long exposure shot to capture the lights of cars as they go past for a while. I found this nice spot with the cityscape in the background. I managed to time this shot just as the C-Train came past to add extra colour to some of the lights.

Langevin Bridge Lights

Chelsey I have been trying to find time to go for a night time drive around the city to get a few shots and to give me a chance to play with more of the settings on my new camera. I finally got the chance to sneak out for an hour this evening (unfortunately, without Chelsey). This is Langevin Bridge in Downtown Calgary.

Saddledome At Night

I went for a little drive this evening to try get some nice shots of the city at night. It took a while for me to figure out the right settings on my camera for the best result, but I am pleased with how this shot turned out.

Brewing A Sunset

The factory silhouetted in this sunset shot I took the other day is the Canada Malting Company's Calgary Malt Factory. The sunsets in Calgary are amazing this time of year.

Baby Deer in The Morning Sun

This is another shot from my early morning stroll last weekend. I really like this shot, however, I'm really annoyed that I didn't manage to get a better shot without grass across it's face.

Autumn Duck

Today I went to the Digital Photo Expo with Chelsey from Wishing Star Gallery. After a few hours lusting over camera equipment that we couldn't afford, we went for a photo walk around a local park. This is one of the shots that I took. I really like the colours that are reflected in the water.

White Moth

I am really impressed with the macro setting on my camera for this shot. I really like that you can see it's eye, and even individual hairs!

Calgary Rock

I found this random rock overlooking the city on one of my cycle rides. Of course I couldn't resist stopping to take a few shots.

Rail Bridge Canal

This shot was taken along a cycle path that runs along a canal. There are several interesting rail bridges that cross it.

Dreaming of Colour

I have been wanting to post some shots of people for a while, but I struggle to get shots that I am happy with. I took some photos of Kristin earlier this month and played around in Photoshop with them. Here is my favorite one.
