Looking down into the ocean from a floating dock in Haida Gwaii. I like the bright colours and the abstract nature of this image. Taken with iPhone camera.
“Fried Egg Jellyfish” taken from same floating dock, but with my SLR and 300 mm telephoto lens. ISO 3200. f/22, 1/60.
Definitely looks like a fried egg.
This house in Didsbury with a partial boomtown front caught my eye after the rodeo. I wonder what the story is with the two lot numbers.
ISO 3200, 24 mm, f/16, 1/3200 sec (oops, rodeo settings, except for focal length)
Unbeknownst to me, my daughter took this from the car with her phone. My version of cloning unwanted items out of the shot! Two black bins in front of the house were ruining the symmetry, so I moved them out of the way and put them back after.
Wow, the colour! I wonder how old this building is. Also the jut-outs are strange.
I agree! I tried googling and could not find it.
Zoo conservatory – Interesting cones.
Here is my second contribution, moved from the “details” category.

Six years ago, I borrowed a Nikkor 24mm F1.4 prime lens from The Camera Store (you can do that) to go out to Forgetmenot Pond in Kananaskis up Hyw 66. I went with a group of others, my own Nikon camera body and a tripod. The water shot is Elbow Falls. I don’t remember the settings, but it was quite an experience to photograph the Milky Way without any light pollution.
I don’t know how many of you know about the Springbank Annual Fair first week of September at the Springbank Park for all Seasons. https://springbankpark.com/ They have competitions in flower arranging, arts and crafts and lots of other things including photography. I have been entering the photography classes (Color and B&W) for the last 7 yeas. Stopped for COVID. This year I entered 6 pictures and 4 of them won red ribbons. Anyone can enter if you pick up entry tags, follow the rules of submission, and deliver your pictures. This picture is from the wall. I have shown the pictures separately here before. Think about this for next year! Pictures cannot be more than a year old.

I have not been able to make the night photography outings but have shot some in July. Photo taken from the deck of my friend’s place on Lac St Anne. Across the lake to the left are visible the lights of Alberta Beach. F/4; ISO 500; 30 sec. exposure at 18 mm. Massaged with Light Room.
Newfoundland was the last of the bucket list places to visit in Canada, done everything now except for the North. Beginning of August, great week for visiting, not so much for dramatic photography…no big waves battering the shoreline, no lashing winds, didn’t even get a drop of rain. However, there is plenty to have of the non-dramatic-photography type. Hard to choose which to post. This is Quidi Vidi approaching sunset. F/4; ISO 100; 1/100 sec. at 62 mm

f9@1/640sec, 24 – 120 zoom @92mm. I was driving northeast of Calgary on my way to a photo shoot. Saw the cattle along the highway so made a u-turn and stopped. Grabbed camera from trunk and took a few shots. I put my camera back in trunk and looked up for the the cattle and they were all gone. Some post processing for contrast and cropping
