Kinnard Park Kicks

  With Edmonton city skyline, we went out testing out our light painting brushes

                                         My first attempt at a stick person
                   

                                                After a few attempts

Urban Geese

            The weather was so nice today, that even the geese were out shopping.

 

Curious - Just who walks out of their shoes? Must have been one heck of a sale!

Notice the placement - wrong feet - hmmm?

March Photowalk & 52 Week Challenge - Week 13 - "Abstract"

This months photo walk was an architectural walk - old and new

There are so many wonderful photo opportunities in the city

Edmonton, Alberta

Heritage Trail - Walking Tour #1

 

Decorative film strips near the Digital School

 

 

Cool alleyways

 

? Shoes - I am beginning to think is must be an art project of sorts

as these are perfectly good shoes.

 

These mirrors are used to reflect sunlight underground to light up the

Light Rapid Transit system

 

Reflections of Silver

With this photo, it was a basic gray and boring, but I liked the angles

surrounding the frozen pond - I cranked up the saturation in Light Room

and Voila

                     Many of the skyscrapers have wonderful aesthetic appeal
                                                  Full of color and design
                        This entire building looks like it is made out of gold.

                                                      "My Abstract"

Easter Retail Display

                                                       Amazing display

Red Door/Creative attempts

                                                        The Red Door -
                                   Doors can be an interesting subject in itself.

 

Trying out my light painting tools.

 The start of my idea.

 

Accident, but I liked the hand shadow in the back.

 

Using a app on my phone, I was able to add the hearts.

Tommorrow, is my other sons birthday. I still wrote this one backwards and am getting better. Still have to work on the tip I was given. Practice Practice Practice!

First Day of Spring

Today is my son's birthday, so I decided to try some light writing with my new pens. Needless to say writing backwards can be a challenge (Since I have received a tip)

 

 

I thought this would be the perfect photo for a Blue Monday. I thought there wasn't a cloud in the sky but my camera thought different.

 

Documentation photo of the first day of Spring.

Polarizing filter

A beautiful day for a walk, so I thought I would try out my polarizing filter. Unfortunately it started to cloud over.

 

                                Hard to resist the planes flying overhead.

 

A sign that the new season is on the way.

Week 12 - "Learning" & Fire Fun @ the Fox

Learning to snowboard was my chosen photo for this weeks challenge photo.

 

 

Fat tire bikes for riding in the winter have become the latest rage.

 

 

Got together with a few friends for some Fire Fun in the evening.

Steel Wool photography

 

Pattern made with a white light pixel stick.

Muttart in Spring

                       Dropped into the Muttart Conservatory for a little taste of spring.

 

                    There are always so many beautiful plants to take photos of.

                                                Feature Pyramid - Spring
           This year, Red and White Tulips were the feature attraction in honor of 
                                Canada's 150 Anniversary of confederation.

Long walk

                                  In the mood for  a twisted tree photo today.

Week 11 - "Flash"

We were suppose to take photos using flash. I am sure that they were referring to using an external flash, but as I do not have one, I played around with my internal one.

 

Automatic setting and Auto Fill Flash

 

                                           Aperture setting, Slow Flash
              .

Snow Tracks

Spring hasn't let us down. Fresh snow.

 

 

Which way to the beach?

                                                      Dancing toe to toe.

Week 10 - "Black"

For this challenge I chose to shoot with Black Light. These are taken of the inside of a crystal wine glass.

 

                            This is the one that I chose to submit to my group.
