  • This photograph is of a rink located on the ice of Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park.  It was taken during the Christmas season in 2004 at the time of the NHL Player Strike which resulted in the cancellation of the entire season.  The rink being empty struck me as symbolic of no hockey being played in Canada.

  • Sunset in Kananaskis Country, Alberta with approaching thunderstorm - August 2010.<br />
<br />
This photograph was taken along Highway 40 in Alberta during an amazing sunset with an incoming storm. The mountains in the background define the border with British Columbia, with the Highwood River peeking out here and there in the mid to far distance of the image, and with mountain wildflowers gracing the foreground.<br />
<br />
This is 18 shot stitched panorama plus 2-exposure HDR treatment (2 rows of 9 photographs, 36 exposures total), taken in rapid succession using a panoramic tripod head given the quick moving clouds and rapidly changing light.<br />
<br />
What is memorable from the date this image was taken (besides this sunset) is that maybe 45 minutes earlier, while further west up the highway, near the Highwood Pass, I was into taking a macro shot of some wild-flowers by the side of the highway, with tripod set up maybe 0.15 m above ground (6-inches) with a 100 mm macro lens when my parents shouted from one of the two vehicles we were traveling in "Bear!".<br />
<br />
A Grizzly mother and cub was crossing the highway maybe 125 m away from where I was shooting (moving away from us towards the river). So having the wrong lens on my camera that was also attached to a tripod while I was laying on ground meant that I did not get a shot of the two bears (they were in sight maybe 5-seconds total anyhow), and I rushed back to our vehicle as a precaution and we decided to move out and head back to my folks' home.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, maybe 30 km away from the bear later, I had the added pressure of my nervous father going on about me stopping again on the side of the highway to take these shots with bears "around".

  • Close up of fast flowing water over rocks - Mailigne River, Jasper National Park

  • Tangle Falls is located right off of the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park, just north of the Athabaska Glacier.  I captured this image under less than ideal circumstances, around noon hour on a sunny summer's day.  I waited for at least half an hour for a cumulus cloud to finally block the sun so that I could photograph these falls in somewhat diffuse light.  A 10 stop ND filter was used to allow for a 2 second exposure so that the water would be blurred.

  • The Canadian Pacific's famous Morant's Curve in the Canadian Rockies as seen on a winter's morning.  Located just east of Lake Louise in Banff National Park, this spot is popular with train spotters who come to see the CPR freight trains or the occasional passenger train on the S-curve with the Bow River and Mount Temple and other mountains in the distance.  I have come here a few times first thing in the morning, while still dark outside to set-up for the sunrise and hopefully catch a train travelling eastbound.  But with no luck with regard to the trains.
