RH Speirs | Photographer - Elbow River Pathway, Calgary, Alberta

I cycled the Elbow River Pathway and took some pictures along the way using the wide angle lens. It's always nice to get some exercise, and I could use the practice taking pictures. These photos are okay, but nothing special here, as they were all taken using handheld method during mid-day daylight. No picture of a view ever looks as good as when you see it live. The entire time I was seeking out potential sites of nice compositions for photos at another time when the lighting is different, perhaps sunrises or sunsets. Anyway, taking these pictures is good practice for trying to keep the camera straight and level, and they may be nice to view by those who don't happen to get a chance to experience the nice pathways Calgary has to offer, so I though I'd post them. Much of the Elbow River Pathway is closed due to upgrades at this time, especially the beginning part near the Glenmore Reservoir, and the end part from McLeod Trail to the Bow River.
