Cold Duck

A duck at Prince's Island in Calgary.

Giant Steel Bird on Stephen Avenue

December 19, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I know it's supposed to be a "tree", built to limit wind gusts on Stephen Avenue Walk, but from this angle, it looked like a bird to me.

Cold Twilight

December 10, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

It's neat how ultra deep freezing cold can make regular winter cold feel comfortable. So, with the "nice" weather, I took a photo stroll along and near 36 Street SE in Calgary, trying to catch the last bits of light for the day.

Guard Light Bridge

A foot bridge at the Confederation Golf Course, where there's a large Christmas light display setup. The red snow and red trees is probably more from the traffic then the display.

A way across in the night

December 2, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This is the bottom side of a pedestrian bridge over Memorial Drive, which leads to the LRT pedestrian underpass that crosses the bow. I would have preferred it, if I had a tripod, to do a long exposure.

Louise Bridge

This is the Louise Bridge (10 Street NW) in Calgary. Instead of "fixing" the white balance, I made it more out of balance, for the effect.

Equipped for Christmas

December 2, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Mount Equipment Co-Op is on 10 Avenue at 8 Street SW, in the Beltline, next to downtown. As some have noticed, I've gotten into night photography a lot lately (with "night" starting very earlier this time of year). I've done a bunch of time lapse, so now I'm experimenting more with handheld, with high ISO, and learning to live with some noise. Also, this is one of the first pics with my new Sigma 18-200 lens.

Sonal in concert

November 28, 2009August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Sonal performed at Olympic Plaza as part of the Grey Cup Festival in Calgary on Saturday, November 28, 2009. For more about her see her MySpace and Facebook pages. I thought she was a great singer.
