#WaterWednesday and I have an image to share! From the enormous Alexander Falls in Canada, this frame is a telephoto image taken at just over 200mm focal length from over 200m away. Its enormous!

I've yet to decide a name for this image, but, my mind keeps returning to something along the lines of "Crown of Thorns" or "Throne Room"

"In The Hand"

Photo taken in Calgary's Prince's Island Park after 24 hours of constant snowfall. Moments earlier a chevron of ducks had winged their way overhead, which would have been perfect for the image. Lesson learned: a camera only counts if its in your hand.

"Wonderland"

Apologies for my dearth of posting recently: I've been sick for the last five days, with lingering acute bronchitis. But I'm on the mend now!

Taking photos in downtown Calgary during winter is challenging, as a photographer is often forced to wait for the low sun to peek through gaps between buildings to light a subject. In this case, I had to wait an hour for the "Wonderland" sculpture in front of the Bow Tower to be lit without sunlight bouncing off the curved glass facade directly behind it.

"Slump"

I discovered early on that one of the advantages of having a very high resolution camera was the "croppability" of the frame. Walking around the Calgary Zoolights exhibit with a 50mm 1.4 lens, I caught this scene from perhaps 30 meters away. This cropped result is less than 1/8th of the original frame, yet still retains plenty of resolution.

Other than cropping and a slight rotation, the image is straight from camera.
