During a recent trip to Nova Scotia I decided to try my hand at doing some HDR photo's, so tripod and camera in hand It set out one morning and looked for interesting shots. I was more looking to take shots so as to practise this art. I found this church on my way back to Anne's house in Middleton.
If I remember right the church was actually for sale, seems to be that there was a lot for sale in Nova Scotia, guess that would be because they have a lot of churches and less and less people are going.
I like doing HDR, it really adds depth and enhances the shot.
As the seaons change it seems the skyline of Grande Prairie changes as well. This shot was taken from the Rotary campground over the playground that is there, I cropped out the playground.
Over the past 20 years I have lived in this city I have seen lots of changes, as you drive into the city from the east or the west the city seems to trail on for a lot further both north and south, although north is pretty much the development between the city and Clairmont.
Thre pictire is of St Joe's church in the distance, once the site of Holy Cross school.
The Moon has been fairly large over the past few evenings over the city. Snapped this one from the desk of the house on a tripod, hence the car trails.
Taken in the park of Friday evening. Really cool to see all the balloons inflated and doing brings to light them up. This was well worth the visit to the park and would recomend anyone when they have a chance to view something like this.
Will be up in the balloon call "Sundance" next week, Oct 20, will take some pictures and post them on my Flickr site.
Till next time.
This happened around supper time on Oct 9, 2008. There were a number of balloons passing by as part of the Championships being held in Grande Prairie, sadly this guy came a little low and got snaged in some power lines near Pamco in the industrial park.
In this picture the power has been turned off and he is trying to untangle himself with the help of the tether lines pulling him back and forth.
Kudo's to the emergency services and ATCO power getting on scene so quick and, as far as I know, there was were no injuries.
