We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images.

    Overall, the street photography class was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. The small group size, knowledgeable instructor, and hands-on approach made it a worthwhile investment. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in exploring the exciting world of street photography.

    I have always been fascinated by long exposure photography. One of the most captivating ways to experience its magic is by capturing light trails at night. Familiar scenes take on an unfamiliar quality, and real subjects can appear almost surreal. With this in mind, I photographed Centre Street with the Calgary Tower in the background?yet it?s the light trails that truly draw the eye.

    Last year, as a final-year Photography student, I chose to photograph a few sculptures in Calgary that showcase the rich cultural heritage of this vibrant, multicultural city. I was thrilled and grateful to find a remarkable sculpture of Van Gogh, and it was a true pleasure to capture its image.

    I took this photo on a very gloomy day in February! My aim was to get a minimalist shot with plenty of contrast and negative space. Camera: Fuji X-H2 and 16-55mm lens.

    Spent a couple days at the beach and was trying to attempt a night photo catching Haystack Rock along with the stars. Haven?t had much opportunity to practice and the sky was clear so, go for it. I had to cut off some of the sky due to roof overhead was in the way but it was an OK attempt for me. More practicing to follow.
