"In The Hand"

Photo taken in Calgary's Prince's Island Park after 24 hours of constant snowfall. Moments earlier a chevron of ducks had winged their way overhead, which would have been perfect for the image. Lesson learned: a camera only counts if its in your hand.

"Wonderland"

Apologies for my dearth of posting recently: I've been sick for the last five days, with lingering acute bronchitis. But I'm on the mend now!

Taking photos in downtown Calgary during winter is challenging, as a photographer is often forced to wait for the low sun to peek through gaps between buildings to light a subject. In this case, I had to wait an hour for the "Wonderland" sculpture in front of the Bow Tower to be lit without sunlight bouncing off the curved glass facade directly behind it.

"Slump"

I discovered early on that one of the advantages of having a very high resolution camera was the "croppability" of the frame. Walking around the Calgary Zoolights exhibit with a 50mm 1.4 lens, I caught this scene from perhaps 30 meters away. This cropped result is less than 1/8th of the original frame, yet still retains plenty of resolution.

Other than cropping and a slight rotation, the image is straight from camera.
