This is a bridge connecting Eau Claire and downtown (camera left), and Prince's Island (camera right). Though not meeting the proper definition, its referred to as the Prince's Island Lagoon.
This was one of the shots that was outside the main theme of waking up outside (see others in set). A difficulty with the park, is it's small, so it's pretty hard not to get surrounding houses and other buildings. For this, I figured it was ok.
This is from my second shoot with Sandeep and her sisters. Not that you can tell, but she's at Prairie Winds Park, here. I'll post some more that show the background, from Prairie Winds and Nose Hill.
We took this in the playground area. I made the top blue, just because I preferred that over some purple that was in it. I made the rest black and white, especially because I didn't like the chipped yellow paint in the foreground.
It looks warmer than it was. There was a cool wind, and the water seemed a bit chilly. Ultimately, we both got drenched, when it rained at the end of the shoot.
This is about when we wrapped up for the day. After I had her pose with it (the flower), I noticed she put it in her hair, creating an obvious next shot. I ended up liking it more than some of the more planned/setup shots.
I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Daniella (MM# 1771851) in Fish Creek Park. I realize the camera in the picture isn't quite pointed high enough, but i still like this little stitch. I wish we had more time to play around with this idea.
I tried to do something a little different here, since the main subject isn't the closest thing to the camera. I played with the exposure in Photoshop, to make her face brighter, to draw more attention there. I also desaturated the colour (but not fully) on teeter tot.
Bowness Park is the ideal place for photos on rail tracks. It has a miniature train, that currently isn't operating, running through the park. So, you can use it, without fear of arrest, or being run over.
