As I continue to review and clean up my archives, I've been trying to conceptually group some photos together into some kind of common topic. For today's photos, I've grouped a number of cloudscapes I took at various times a couple of years ago. We really do get some great cloud shots here in Calgary.
Today's photo from the archives goes back to a short photo walk I did along the Elbow River in Calgary. This was taken shortly before sunset which helped give the river a shiny golden glow.
Winter has finally made its presence known around here with our first big snowfall earlier this week. I haven't had much chance to go out and shoot, so here's a shot of some bare trees I took last winter at a snow covered soccer/baseball field. I like the silhouetting of the trees against the late evening sky.
Today's photo comes from the archives from late last year. I was wandering through the neighbourhood one evening and noticed the interesting gap of sky between the clouds as the sun was setting. I would later learn that this is a typical formation from a chinook arch. This photo was taken in a future construction zone and the water you see is actually fairly shallow, as it is just a little flood of rain and/or melted snow in a few future house lots.
Well, it's been a little quiet around here of late, so I thought it would bring a regular photo feature to the site. Each week, I will post a photo from my library, possibly with a little bit of commentary. I was inspired to do this by a lot of the photographers I follow on Twitter, even though they typically manage to post a photo every day. I hope you enjoy this endeavour and your feedback and comments are certainly welcome and appreciated!
First up is a mountain sunset I shot while I was trying out the recently released Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II zoom lens. This was shot from the SE end of Calgary back in February.
