JB Bar's photostream
|
I used to make my living in the Canadian oil business which enabled me to travel to many spectacular places. Recently retired I am hoping to be able to keep up those travels, maybe to "warm" spectacular places. I enjoy photography as it allows me to capture and share many of those beautiful places. My wife and I live on a small farm 40 miles NW of Calgary, Alberta, and enjoy taking our horses to the mountains to the west of us to do some trailriding and camping.
The equipment I am using at present is
Canon Rebel XT
Canon EF 70-200 F2.8L IS USM
Canon EF 100-400 F4.5-5.6L IS USM
Canon EF 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM
Sigma EF 70-300 F4-5.6II Macro Super
Canon EF 18-55 3.5-5.6 II

Nikki Burke Photography says:
"This Guy is a legend!! He takes great photos, doesn't take himself or others too seriously but always spares the time to check out what we're all doing and add a comment...usually humerous or encouraging!! We have never met in person but I count him as a friend and hope one day that he and his wife may visit us 'downunder'. If you check out his photostream you will soon realize that this man does not waste time, he cuts to the chase and only offers the very best. You are an inspiration Mate!!"

"JB Bar never takes an errant shot; each is considered and gives an insight into something of interest. He has taken us on tour, into his life, into his heart, across borders, up mountains and down river. I love visiting his world and I know you will too! Thanks John!
