Lot easier heading for work in the morning when there is a chance to come across this type of view. The Bow River is across my way when heading for work, the conditions were such, the sky was set to light up. I had plenty of time before work started, so I stopped along the river to take few pictures.

For over a day rain and snow was falling from the sky and the mountains were hiding in the clouds. Then one evening the clouds started to move out before the sun left for the day. It was not until next morning Mount Rundle was fully visible, but enough was exposed that evening to see it covered with new snow.

It often happens with sunrises, just when it looks as if nothing is going to take place, the sky lights up. That was the case few weeks ago, the morning sky caught on fire lasting several minutes. It's why you have to get out there to take advantage of unexpected.

Even after seeing several hundred sunrises, I still enjoy the new one as if it was the first one. They are never the same, there are so many factors that make up a sunrise and in the end each factor varies to create a unique sunrise.

I was out middle of the night to take pictures of Perseid Meteor Shower, I was able to see few bright outbursts, but I was not lucky enough to capture them with my camera. But I did not come back empty handed, I was able to create star trail pictures.

A passing rain storm through the valley formed a partial rainbow on one side of the valley, while sunshine on the other.

There was still few hours of sunlight, but the view front of me was beautiful, just asking me to start taking its pictures. I thought then the images would look better in black and white, with the lit up Mount Rundle, clouds in the sky and the moon clearly visible. I was happy it worked out that way.

The best light for landscape photography tend to be in the morning or end of the day, so when I get one during a day, it's a nice surprise.

I thought I was going to be late for the sunrise, warm colours had started to spread onto the clouds. I kept heading for the lake and walked to the site where I wanted to take the pictures. The morning light on the North side of Mount Rundle had disappeared, but few minutes later it was back and I started snapping pictures. Nature gave me a second chance.

It was a great morning to take pictures of the sunrise lighting up Mount Rundle. The water fowls were far enough to keep the ripples away, creating a nice reflection on the lake. The incoming clouds kept creating different moods, I must have spent just under an hour taking pictures from different part of the lake.

When taking pictures to show the star trails, it's not the stars moving in the sky being recorded, it's the Earth's rotation relative to the stars being captured. The location where I was standing on the surface of our planet was moving 1675 km/h, since I was moving at the same speed, I did not notice the movement. To get this image of the star trails, I took 22 thirty second images, with a one second break between each image. That works our to 11 minutes and 20 seconds, in that time Earth rotated about 316 Kilometers. Thanks to the gravitational forces at work, no gas money needed..

Took this picture last week while the moon was rinsing and the sun was setting behind me. The light and the colours were great, grabbed my phone and quickly took few images before the light changed.

Was out again during the night taking pictures of the night sky, always helped by having some clouds in the sky and in this case also helped with light coming from the rising moon behind the clouds.

I had my fingers crossed there would be a half decent sunrise, in the end there were just enough clouds to add colour to the sky and the ice reflecting some of that light.

It was a calm night, not too cold, stayed out there for over an hour watching the night sky and taking pictures. After the eyes became accustomed to the darkness, that's when the sky lights up with the stars.

Landscapes used to be my main subject for photography, before adding flora, fauna and the night skies to the list. Over the winter with short days and work, weeks can quickly pass not getting sunset and or sunrise pictures. So for the last few weeks I have been making up for it. I was back at it again, this time at the Vermilion Lakes. The warm colours did not last too long, the clouds were moving in from the west, it ended up being a very overcast day. But before that took place I needed to get the reflection of the mountains in the small pool of water front of me. Got the camera to the ground, bent over to frame the image and then pressed the shutter.
Until next moment,

I spent very little time in 2015 taking pictures of the sunrises and sunsets from the Vermilion Lakes, 2016 is about making up that time. This pictures of a sunset from few days ago.

I was hoping to catch the Northern Lights, but the bright moon light played a role keeping the lights intensity down. Instead I came back with a night picture of Mount Rundle and Fairholme Rage lit up by the moon and a bonus, Jupiter in the night sky.
Until next moment,
Amar
I was trying to rush to get my pictures of the star trails, knowing the moon would soon be coming over the Fairholme Range. Once the moon made its appearance, I liked the way the landscape looked and the way the snow spread the light, so I continued taking more images until the moon was too high and reflecting too much light.

Starting to take advantages of shorter days to get out and take pictures of nightscapes. Here is one of Mount Rundle under star trails.
Until next moment,
