Three Black & White Practice Sessions

I’ve managed to squeeze in three short practice sessions since we attended Mark Unrau’s winter landscape / black & white photography workshop last weekend:

Mount Rundle across Vermillion Lakes

Mount Rundle across Vermillion Lake

Mount Rundle across Vermillion Lake

Near Three Sisters, Canmore

Unfinished golf course at Three Sisters - imagine this as condos / resort?

Tree skeleton

Signal Hill, Calgary

Looking southwest to the Rockies from west Calgary

Between teachers’s convention and Family Day, we’re at the start of a five day weekend, so I hope the rest of the family finds time to join me in a couple more practice sessions before Tuesday. What are your (photography) plans for the weekend?

About GeoKs

Our family enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful southwest corner of Alberta: hiking, biking, geocaching and nature photography are some of our favourite activities. We started hiking as a family in 2004, when our youngest was 4 years old. We started geocaching in 2006, when our friends "Sears Tower" introduced us to high-tech treasure hunting. We especially enjoy earthcaches. We've been slowly migrating from paved path cycling to single-track riding. And as far as photography goes, Mr. GeoK and our oldest son avidly pursue great shots in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

    Got lucky with the way the wind was blowing a mix of clouds / snow at the top of Mount Rundle, plus I had enough detail in the log to up the exposure in the bottom half of the photo using the graduated filter tool in Lightroom 4. Thanks for the encouragement!

      Thank you! I haven’t yet read your recent posts about Elk Island NP, but will make time to read them tomorrow. It’s on my list of National Parks to visit – hopefully in the next year or two.
