Keeping the Bow Safe

It was a warm day. So, the Calgary Police were out patrolling the Bow River, mainly to look for rafters behaving dangerously.

Prince’s Island Skating

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.

Hula Hoop in the Pool

October 15, 2011August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

After the Occupy Calgary group moved to Olympic Plaza, a handful of people waded into the water. This girl was more prepared than most, since she had the right foot ware, it seemed, while others went in bare foot.

Waiting in the water

August 23, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

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.

Waiting by the water

July 6, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I had a photo shoot with the beautiful Anastasia (MM# 1742238) at Confederation Park on July 6, 2010. Some models need coaxing to smile. Anastasia is the opposite, since she has a very positive upbeat personality. After looking at the shots, I thought her natural smile, usually worked better than my suggested sombre mood poses.

Beauty on the rocks

July 6, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

The water running through the park had lots of suds, to the point of me using Photoshop to remove them.

Facing the water

June 6, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

So, this time, I'm using off-camera Sigma DG 530 Super Flash (camera left) with Cactus v4 Triggers. I kind of like the shadows on the face created by the flash, since it gives it a more connected feel.

Melanie looks to the sky

June 6, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This is from my photo shoot with the very beautiful Melanie (MM#1653223) at Bowness Park in Calgary, Alberta on Sunday, June 6, 2010.

Water on a leaf

May 30, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I took a break from the Lilac Festival, and visited the Elbow Island Park. I'm hoping to find a model to do a photoshoot there soon, so I thought I'd check more of it out first.

Splish Splash with a Flash

May 15, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This was my second time shooting here, under the Macleod Trail bridge over Fish Creek. Last time, I tried using an on camera flash. poor results. I also tried off camera on a cord last time, but that didn't work (not long enough).

Wet Landing

Taken at Prince's Island.

Not so graceful approach

May 2, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This isn't exactly graceful beauty, but I thought it was interesting. That's the great thing about animals, they don't complain when you take an unflattering picture.

Watching the water

April 16, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This is Mandeep under the Macleod Trail bridge that passes over Fish Creek. She and Sandeep played with splashing water, which was a great idea, but I was signficantly limited by the lack off wireless camera flash (I had a flash on a cord). So, all the splash shots have shadows. But, I still liked them.
