I forgot her name, but she is one of the people performing on an outside stage at the 2010 Calgary Sampede Grounds. She was one of the competitors in the Calgary Stampede Talent Search.

Reid Haggis does the Telephone Dance

July 18, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Reid Haggis had a very energetic and talented. He did more than one Lady Gaga song. I might be wrong, but I think this was taken when he performed "Telephone". He also did his own material.

Some of the daily entertainment put on for the Stampede at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary. I desaturated the background, especially reds, try and highlight the foreground.

Holding up the Sun

July 11, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

I thought I would Photoshop together a couple photos of the Sun and Salsa entry at the Calgary Stampede Parade. I was going to do a typical "picture in picture" with boxes, but thought I'd do this instead.

After I left the Parade, I walked along Stephen Avenue, taking in all the extra activity, including buskers, like this trio.

I spotted Melanie (MM#1653223 in the Sun and Salsa entry at the Calgary Stampede Parade. I did a photo shoot with Melanie in the prior month.

So that’s why it’s so freakin’ hot

This is the Kensington Sun and Salsa Festival entry in the 2010 Calgary Stampede Parade. The annual festival is held on Kensington Road and 10 Street NW on July 25, 2010. It includes the Miss Sun and Salsa Pageant, which I'll be shooting, if I don't die of heat stroke.

Colour in the Stampede

I think she was with a group of Brazilian dancers. From the 2010 Calgary Stampede Parade.

Buckshot and Benny

Buckshot (aka Ron Barge) and Benny the Bear at the 2010 Calgary Stampede.

Looking up the teeter tot

July 7, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

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.

Beauty in the wind

This is from my photoshoot in Bowness Park with Shayna Ding (MM# 1521750).

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.

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.
