HIGHWAY 2--drive by shootings


After driving hours in a rainstorm, my big bro took over driving and just as I pulled out my camera...voila! My passenger window view--An incredible rainbow framing Alberta's progressive energy installment.

This is literally right off the side of Highway 2 with cars zooming by.

What? mad cow disease?
just jokes... after growing up on Alberta beef, a steak never tastes so good as when get back home.
Bass Pro Shops-- (I needed to buy a tent)
Yes...even baby camo.

It's been a crazy busy few weeks! I've been shooting my butt off in L.A and Vancouver but out of respect for my clients, I can't post any of the pictures I've been taking yet...so until then, here are a few from my most recent adventure!
After an 18 hour drive (split into 2 days), I finally got to Alberta. I drove most of the way and I was following another car, so unfortunately I couldn't stop to make all the pictures I saw, but I did manage to snag a few at the tail end.
I was born and raised most of my youth here, so I definitely experienced a little nostalgia as I drove into the stunning prairie sunset passing canola fields, grain elevators, and cows.


I'm headed North to a family reunion, so stay tuned for more beautiful nature shots from northern Alberta.

tip for all the photo geeks: When taking pictures from a fast moving vehicle, use a high shutter speed (considered to be 1/250th or higher) to stop motion...unless you like that blurry look :)
