I edited the first photo with normal photoshop technique (levels adustments with gradients). I attempted to use an HDR technique in the second and third photos.

I didn't have the right lens for photographing the birds so I photographed the little pond instead.

Jesus Church

Jamie and I left town the other day to visit the first nation reservation of Hobema. The church on the reservation is called Jesus Church. I thought the lack of creativity was actually very original. I know of no other Jesus Church.

Valley of the Five Lakes

We went on a little hike our last day in Jasper. We saw a large black bear on the trail. I was too busy avoiding sudden movements to get a good picture. So, I'm posting this nice tranquil lake instead.

Icefields Highway

The drive from Banff to Jasper is one of the most beautiful in the world. The overcast skies gave me a chance to utilize my graduated neutral density filters. I had trouble picking one picture so I put a few of my favorites from the drive.

Jamie and I decided to take a couple of days off and travel to Banff and Jasper national parks.

Jamie and I took a hike in Elk Island which is about 45 minutes outside of Edmonton. We saw several Buffalo. No elk. No islands.
