Awesome Day!

Robin and I headed for Jura Canyon this morning at - rationizing the late start (for a photographer) by saying that the canyon wouldn't see sunrise anyway. Located W. of Calgary on 1A, we parked at the Graymont Cement plant and made a short (he was right) hike to the stony river bed then only another brief hike to the start of the canyon. It just got better and better and we spent 3 hours having a great time photographing - Robin used his full complement of 6 rolls of 120 - he says this has never happened before. We worked our way up the canyon then back down, working past each other round corners so as not to interfere with each other. We saw a few hikers but for the most part we had peace and quiet (glad we went on Friday). Towards the end there was some splashes of bright sunlight on the west wall of the canyon and we both thought that perhaps after all we should have left earlier. Still, just a great day.

The image above was two images, one focused on the near rock on the left, the other for the rest of the image, 17-40 mm. on my 1Ds2 at 21 mm. f16. The left wall was only 8 inches from the camera.

Looking forward to working with some more of the images.
