We were the official photographer for the 2012 MASY Synchro Challenge held in Calgary this past weekend! This event brought together over 20 swim clubs from across 5 provinces and 1 territory to Calgary to compete in their final competition of the season. Congratulations to all the swimmers who participated!
Keep an eye on this space as we will be processing and uploading all the photos we took at the meet over the next week or two. I will update this post with more detailed links as the photos become available for your viewing and ordering.
Here is a direct link to our MASY photo gallery / online store in the meantime.
Here are links to each of the categories that have been made available so far:

We saw a lot of precipitation here in Calgary yesterday. It started out as rain throughout the day and as the evening approached, it turned to snow. Of course, this no longer comes as a surprise to many of us who live here. By the time I got home, it was starting to accumulate, so I snapped a few shots of the big fluffy flakes of snow as it was coming down.

I know I'm a day late with this post, but my last week or so had really gotten away from me and kept me mostly offline.
Anyway, for last week's Project52 theme of 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles', I have this shot of one of the Park-n-Ride transit stations here in Calgary. My office building affords me a great bird's eye view of this station, so I just had to attempt one of those tilt-shift miniature types of shots. The post-processing was done in onOne Software's Perfect Photo Suite.

Sometime last summer I had my 70-200 with me at work in an attempt to capture the local wildlife. There were a few big birds flying around our building during the day, including a hawk that was seemed to be hunting for food. While I was at it, I took a few landscape shots as well. Here's one of the Rockyview General Hospital in SW Calgary. Now, I was already impressed by this lens, but after looking at a map, I saw that the hospital was about 3.2 km away from where I was, which impressed me even further.

I have one more flower to share from the zoo trip last summer. Here are a bunch of flowers that were hanging in front of a tree in the main area of the conservatory. Unfortunately, I again have no idea what these flowers, since I wasn't clever enough to photograph the label for them. Looking back at the photo, I wish I had positioned myself and framed it better to avoid the larger white flowers behind this bunch as I think they distract from the purple flowers in the foreground.
