Single in August

Spending the month with the DA 15mm Limited.

Waiting in the rain - Monday was +30C, today +5 and very wet! I almost thought I would have to go with a spare from yesterday but my daughter was...

Angles and lines - A stormy backdrop and early evening light. I could not get away from the power line so I let it define the scene.

Under the apple tree - It was hot today, over 30C but by tomorrow we are looking at rain and a high of 12C! So A summery shot seemed to be in order.

Along the Douglas Fir Trail - This path on an embankment near my home runs through a stand of Douglas Fir trees, an oasis that feels like an escape...

August morning, Confederation Park - A real smoker of a day here so I got out early before the heat for a walk through this lovely city park.

Condo towers - There were some nice clouds formations earlier this evening and I was hoping they would stick around to catch the rays of the setting...

An orange pair - the daylilies are probably the freshest looking flowers in my yard (probably because they only last a day)! The DA 15 can work...

Revisiting a theme - A hot day today, considerably hotter than this shaded thermometer reads. I chose this shot because it is essentially another...

City park in the evening - Waiting to pick my daughter up from work I took this shot across a soccer field with downtown in the distance and the low...

Five geese on the pond - I had chosen another shot from today but changed my mind. This is a pond on Prince's Island, a park in downtown Calgary.

Centre Street Bridge from the east - Too hot, too tired and too busy today so I am taking the liberty of using a wild card and posting a spare from...

Into Chinatown on a Saturday morning - I took a walk by the river along Chinatown, one of the older areas of the downtown core. I chose this shot of...

Atrium - I have been driving by this building through its various stages of construction. It is not quite finished yet but in the final stages. This...

Solitary daisy - Back to the yard today and the daisies. I decided to focus on this solitary bloom.

Change in the weather - Very hectic days lately leaving little time for photography or commenting on everyone's fine contributions. My daughter...

Backyard bokeh - My backyard offers some great bokeh opportunities in the summer, even with the DA 15 if the background is far away.

Clouds over the morning commute - I wanted to capture these amazing clouds but with such a wide angle lens the rest of the landscape looks very tiny!

Cat TV - A hot summer's day and I had planned to head out on a proper photo shoot but instead I am waiting at home for the police. There was a fight...

War memorial - I have wanted to photograph this memorial, part of the refurbish of the city's Memorial Drive, since they first put it up earlier this...

Sun through the apple tree - One of the guilty pleasures of the DA 15 limited is capturing sunbursts. You need a relatively small aperture and a...

Standing proud - For some reason the majority of my images this month are portrait orientation. This is no exception. I see this German Lutheran...

Decorated telecaster - I have wanted to photograph this guitar since my son moved back home a few weeks ago but I am never happy with my shots of...

Edelweiss - another subject less than ideal for an ultra wide lens. I took a number of shots around the house and on my commute but nothing grabbed...

Daylily portrait - A little break from the monochrome. The daylilies are late this year but I am glad to have some since there were no blooms at all...

Corporate temple - I love to use this lens on the glass of the downtown core but generally only head down on Sundays when the streets are empty and...
