I shot this photo last Saturday, which is supposed to be the first day of winter. I can assure you that winter has been in full effect in the city of Calgary for quite sometime!
Anyhow, when I shot this photo I had zero intentions of using it for anything. At the time I was just location scouting for a future photo and took this picture with Canon point & shoot. Since I am on a little holiday out of town at the moment I was messing around with some pictures on my ipad. I rather liked the results I got with this shot, so I thought I’d share it here :). I’ll go back to this location another time and get a night shot with a proper camera.
Camera: Canon PowerShot A1100 IS – Setting (auto chosen by camera): 1/800 – f/4 – ISO 125
Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Very fun! This feels like an image out of the ’50s.
The photo is lovely and by the blue cast you know it’s collllld. How do you get the (subtle) HDR effect with an iPad?
Haha it was indeed cold! As for the HDR effect, I used an app called Snapseed and there are a few different options to get this effect. They also make the app for iPhone and android :). It is by far my favorite mobile photo editing app.
great shot of downtown Calgary! and yes it has been cold. I can hear the wind howling! it is going to get cold again!
Haha thank you! Ya I’m not really looking forward to coming back! I was just talking to my friend and she’s moving to Paris in a few days, I could die rolling back into Calgary now lol.
Happy New Year Rob! Keep up the great work in 2014! Corina
