Photo: As part of our travel to Calgary, we staying in a bed and breakfast:  Westways.   This was the most technologically equipped B&B I have stayed in with wireless internt, IPOD docking station in the room, cable HD TV and blu-ray DVD player.  These tulips were blooming in the front yard. I intentionally set my lens [...]

Photo: We made a short visit to Calgary, Alberta for the weekend.  It was predominantly a visit to friends and family.  On the Friday evening, we went for a walk in a ravine leading to the Bow River. Nothing earthshattering with this photo but I enjoyed the lighting on the clousds with the setting sun.

Photo: For me, this picture is a great example of the value of experimentation.  While walking in the woods near our home, there was frankly little of interest to shoot.  I had the wrong lens to try to capture any of the many birds; I didn’t have a macro to play with some of the [...]

For: Apr. 3 Photo: The softness of a lensbaby with a macro on the front is, I think, magical for this.   I suppose it might have been improved if the white flowers in the centre were sharper but I don’t know that …  I haven’t seen that image!  So, I enjoy what comes from this [...]

For: Apr. 2 Photo: Not sure if this really translates but I enjoyed the very abstract vision of the grass.   We have very little green here; this is truly the worms eye view through a lensbaby with a macro lens on it.

For: Apr. 1 Photo: A simple image of Edmonton; one could not avoid the trees so I tried to use them to frame the city.  I suppose I could have tried to blur them more but I don’t think the lens I was using would have permitted the right depth of field.
