I photographed Bella and her family last year. She’s still a bit shy to start, but it didn’t take her long to warm up to the camera. I mostly gave her some distance and again encouraged her to play. Being a little older now, she responds more to direction. Glenmore Park on the North side [...]
A sunny lunch hour stroll with friends around Prince’s Island Park made for fun photographic adventures. One of our goals was to get some softer, long-exposure shots of the river. The bright sun made it difficult to slow down the shutter, even with a polarising filter. I managed some nice shots of the fountain as [...]
Rexburg, Idaho is a neat town. It’s a bit out of the way for someone just travelling through since it lies a fair bit East of the I-15 heading South to Idaho Falls. If you’re headed to Yellowstone, you may want to drop in and take in some of its charm. Travelling to Rexburg takes [...]
I had a great day for shooting Hoar frost. A friend and I took advantage of a sunny noon hour to take some photos in the parking lot. The bright sun caused the South facing frost on the sides of the trees and bushes to melt, while the still frigid air maintained the North facing [...]
Christmas is a great time for photos. Our family spent Christmas in a cabin on Mt. Baldy, near Oliver, B.C.. It gave me a lot of opportunity to get out into the snow and take a few photos. I particularly wanted to play with HDR, and I was delighted to find a few subjects that [...]
I had an exciting opportunity to be with Brent and Carol when they were married in Regina Saskatchewan. We had considerably better weather than at their engagement photo shoot. Also, after so much driving last month, the trip to Regina didn’t seem as long as it might have. We only spent about an hour at [...]
The exciting day finally arrived for Steven and Amanda. The wedding was simple and elegant, with a beautiful bride and bridesmaids. We took the wedding party to Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. We’ve had heavy smoke in Calgary from forest fires in B.C.. I was concerned about the effect of the smoke on the [...]
Tim and Crick have the cutest kids. You might not be able to tell from the photo on the right, but there are only two of them. As usual, they were a bit shy, but they didn’t take long to open up and relax around the camera. They have a great back yard with a [...]
Mark and Jenn were married in Waterton. It’s a beautiful town with a lot to choose from for photo backdrops. Waterton has a dark side though; it’s very windy. Overlooking the lake is the Prince of Wales Hotel. It sits majestically at the top of a hill where, if you go outside, you’ll have to [...]
I really had fun with Wally and Gill. The small ceremony was in their friend’s back yard. It was beautifully landscaped with several trees and flowers. They also had reflecting globes that added a neat touch. The weather also cooperated enough to hold back the rain while the overcast sky made the greenery really come [...]
