From our Nosehill walk today. Taken with my smartphone camera in pro mode with exposure at -2. Then enhanced in Photoshop with exposure push and contrast enhancement. The colours sure are vibrant, maybe a bit too much.
Here is the setting of the detail above.
Beakerhead at Contemporary Calgary. A new roller rink is opening in town soon so they were renting skates at the gallery for free. Here’s a panning attempt with my new tiny Ricoh GRIIIx. It has a fixed 26 mm lens (41 mm in 35 mm equivalent focal length) that retracts when shut off so it fits in my pocket. (Not for Frank Lake!)
24 MP. It weighs 260 g compared to my Canon 18-400 mm zoom’s 1.4 kg, which is increasingly hurting my arthritic hand. I can shoot with one hand! No viewfinder is the main thing I’ve had to get used to.
ISO 640, 26 mm, f/2.8, 1/8 sec
iPhone shot to show what it looks like when not panning.

View from Silver Springs Ridge towards Broadcast Hill. Taken with my smartphone. The morning sun just lit the foreground contrasting it against the darker background. The valley channels the eye towards the distant background, while the fence detail is an anchor point for the leading line of the orange foliage.
Looking SW from the western end of North Glenmore Park. The low water levels on the Elbow River produced some interesting curves.
Aperture Priority, f/8.0, ISO 100, 1/320 sec, 24mm.
Cropped to 16×9 format. Used levels and saturation to bring up the yellow and red colours. Used haze removal to enhance the sky.
