Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Hey homies, long time! Thought I'd drop by to share a few pics. I hope you enjoy these. First 5 are from this weekend past: Autumn on the Prairies Next two are from the High River Show and Shine You ALWAYS Embarrass Me When We're Having Our Picture Taken! And a few favorites from this summer: Time For Some Lovin' Juvenille Red Tailed Hawk: Downtown Calgary at Twilight: Crawling Valley Reservoir 5 Quote
Buck Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Great captures, very sharp! I'm liking the one of the hawk. Quote
monger Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Great shots. Can I have the elk's address? Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks Buck. While I have your attention, you should think about selling me that crappy 10-22mm you have Great captures, very sharp! I'm liking the one of the hawk. Quote
FraserN Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I like the city picture. We have an amazing skyline. Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks Monger. West of Turner Valley. That male was the only one among dozens of females. If there's reincarnation I want to come back as a male elk! Great shots. Can I have the elk's address? Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Here are a couple more. Sheep River Valley Lily 3 Quote
Muffin Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Awesome pictures, I am loving the colors and clarity. The Elk picture makes me think of a joke I heard a while ago. Initially it was from a Bull (beef Bull) but I figure easy enough to be Bull Elk. So two Bull's, one old and one young are standing at the top of a hill looking down at a meadow when they see a bunch(small herd) of cows walk into the meadow. The young bull says to the old bull, "We should run down there and make love to a couple of them!" The old bull says to the young bull, "We should walk down there and make love to all of them." Replace make love with whatever version works for you. Difference between enthusiasm and experience. Quote
Buck Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks Buck. While I have your attention, you should think about selling me that crappy 10-22mm you have Haha well I may be switching over to a full framed sensor prior to my South America trip, so I might have to get rid of that lense! You will be the first to know. Quote
Ayr Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Nice photos, thanks for sharing them! Sheep river valley , it was so much warmer there three weeks ago! Cheers, Ayr. Quote
peetso Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 these pics are absolutely phenomenal. Really dig the hawk. Quote
SteveM Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Sweet! You're gonna have to change your business cards to "Importer/Exporter/Latex Salesman/Photographer" Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments everyone. You're a funny man Mr. Loblaw :-) Here's a few more from some recent trips. I hope at least one of you enjoys at least one of them. Does anyone here know where Harold Creek Rd is? Worth a Sunday drive sometime: Made another trip to the Sheep River valley: There are a few problems with this photo but the building is kinda cool: And a favorite from pike fishing this summer: Thanks for looking. 3 Quote
Muffin Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Haha yep only able to find one pic I liked in that group. Just kidding great pictures again. Out of curiosity what are the problems with the pic of the Telus Spark Building? I like the look of downtown in the background and the glow of the Calgary Tower. Also what is the bright spot directly above the Spark building? Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hey Muffin You hit the nail on the head by asking about the bright light. It ruins the photo for me. Also, I don't mind the buildings on the left but there's nothing on the right to balance it. It didn't turn out at all like I imagined. I'll have to try a reshoot sometime and dart over and get buddy to turn off his light for an hour or so :-) Thanks for looking. Neil 1 Quote
Guest ArtVandelay Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Wonderful photos, great composition. Thanks Flyfisher...I love photography words like that :-) Quote

I recommend you talk to the city planner about developing a more even distribution. As for the light in the middle I feel fairly confident from that picture that with a 50 cal. and a laser finder you could solve that light problem permanently. I look forward to the police report on that one. Quote
