Last week I went down to the Olympic Plaza ice skating rink downtown here in Calgary. It was a little chilly out and my hands got rather cold while I was shooting these photos. I had gloves with me, but I they weren’t really doing the trick. For the first picture I had to stand there with my hand over the shutter button waiting for the right gust of wind so I could capture the flags blowing. Of course this plan of action didn’t exactly help my cold hand situation haha. I didn’t get the flag exactly how I wanted, but it was close enough for the weather conditions. 😉

Looks great! No outdoor rinks here, so it’s lovely to see photos of them!
Thanks Molly.
Looks like fun!
For sure 🙂
Great shots – I made one in Boston last week that is similar to your shot below, with the movement blurred. I’ll use it tomorrow as my daily post. Looking at your top shot, I wish I’d gone to the other side of the rink and captured the buildings along Tremont street. Oh well, a shot for another day. 🙂
Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing your shot tomorrow 🙂 and yes it is always nice to have a photo in mind, waiting in the wings.
oh I am so jealous…I would love to go ice skating for a place like that ❤
Yeah that’s a nice spot hey. Come to Calgary and I’ll take you ice-skating 😉.
Oh I would love to come, I love to skate myself and that spot would be a really awesome surrounding for a photo shoot too 🙂
Gorgeous! Thank you! Pip
Thank you.

Looks like cold fun! Could you use those gloves that have the finger pad for the iPad! 😄😄
I just need thicker gloves! haha.
That is true! It’s cold with your hands exposed
Awesome photos, as usual.
Thank you!
Love this. Looks like fun! (The skating and the shooting!)
Thanks! And yes, ice skating is fun for sure :).
Ice skating is so much fun.
For sure :).
Your shot reminds me quite a bit of the ice skating rink in front of rockefeller Center in NYC. Beautifully captured!
Thank you very much Tina!
