Inspired by the Vancouver photo's posted by Auld Yin in the Canada Forum I thought some of you might be interested in some excellent images of Alberta.

These are NOT my images but those of a Calgary photographer that I have admired for some time.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the link Steve.

Them pictures put a smile back on my face. I only wish I could capture firework shots like that.

Thanks Steve,

Can't wait to come and admire the view in person.

Great post Steve.

I love the pictures of Kananaskis especially, I think if I lived here forever I would not get bored of Kananaskis!

They were all great photos. But I have wondered for ages - how do you take photos of fireworks like that?

You need a tripod, a camera capable of manual settings and either a cable release or remote to open the shutter.

Most of the pictures in the Fireworks gallery the shutter was open for 4 seconds set at f/8

There are some gorgeous pictures there!

Thanks for posting it

Lovely post Steve

Alberta is beautiful and your pictures reflect that. Brought tears to my eyes thinking of the memories of my visit in May '08 and wising I was still there. Well done.

Great find, thanks for sharing, good shots everyone of them.

Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me must get myself a new camera for our next visit over there.

Awesome pictures dude!

Some great shots there. It's only when we see these (and some of your shots Steve) that we realise what amateurs we are with our own attempts at Alberta photography.

hi do you not find that with such a beautifull subject ie scenary , that it is hard not to take a good picture? assuming a little bit of knowledge on how to take good pics, good pics andy.

This is the beautiful we get when we climb to the top of our hill, some kind soul has put a bench there so you can sit and admire the view in comfort. This was taken on Wednesday, notice that beautiful blue sky

Seeing those just reinforces why I love living here - god its beautiful Thanks Steve x
