Just joking. Just a crazy pic with a great depth of field fuzziness. Took with Canon 24-70mm L at f7.1 with 580exII flash bounced off garage door and onto me.

See how I got this shot...here photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=8d68b9a8-1098-41be-86ed-ba21...

I just love the Elbow River Valley. It was the first place where I caught my photographic bug in 2009. It is here where you can get up close with the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains that can been seen to the west of Calgary. I woke up at 4:30 am to get out for the 5:47 am sunrise that magically came down the valley and lit up the peaks. I used the Canon TS-E 24mmL II lens, tilted to get best apparent DOF. I do wish I had a z-pro filter holder but I guess I will have to wait until the fall when Cokin gets back into business.

I was recently back to Calgary with my wife and with new addition to my family Olivia. I tried my first tilt shift panorama with the Canon TS-E 24mm L II lens. This technique was inspired by Darwin Wiggett, who has taught me some amazing landscape photography techniques. I adjusted the tilt of the lens to get the most DOF and then took two exposures shifted up and down. Merged together in Adobe Photoshop Photomerge

I am a new father but the way it developed after delivery of my beautiful daughter is something I wish to forget. This is a shot from the top of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital parking garage in Bloomfield district of Pittsburgh.

My daughter was in the hospital for a week after she entered the world after doctors thought she could have had an infection. Well countless trips to the hospital to visit my wife and daughter allowed me to catch this wonderful scene looking towards the University of Pittsburgh and the iconic Cathedral of Learning.
