When I travel typically, I end up with photos that I am really not pleased with. Travel photography often means that I don’t take my time and really do what I intend and when I get home, I am dissatisfied with my work. My wife and I have talked about this many times and we are trying to change the way we travel a bit and take our time. Often, we try to do too much and that just isn’t conducive to good photography.
The image below is a 2:1 aspect ration pano pf Payto Lake. I did a few but I think this was a 12 frame pano and is printable to at least 48 inches wide. This would look wonderful over a sofa, would love to see it.
Peyto Lake, Alberta
Photo of the Week #206
I’ve been back shooting a bit in the music scene. Shot one of my all time favorite singers Saturday night At The Grand Theatre, Serena Ryder. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen her perform and it never gets old. Her voice and her writing abilities are second to none in my opinion.

When you’re literally surrounded by beauty in every direction, it provides so much inspiration! This one location offers you many different compositions depending on conditions. We spent lots of time right here. On this trip, we wanted to shoot more deliberate and went for quality over quantity. We waited out conditions or light to get the picture often. Traveling makes it hard to be in the right place at the right time so we slowed it down a lot and truthfully we enjoyed it more because of that I think.

Photo of the Week # 204
Canada’s Rocky Mountains, one of the most beautiful places I’ve spent time. There is beauty in all directions, you just have to find a composition to enhance it. This is a scene from Canmore, Alberta we found. We experienced very little cloud in the sky while we were there, mostly clear blue skies so in this one, I excluded most of the sky.
