The Banana Pie at Bridgette Bar in Calgary. Tasty but also over-the-top sweet. Also over-the-top tall! 

Downtown Calgary.

We visited Q.Lab Coffee this afternoon. I was impressed with their coffee program and had to try a “Gold Label” pour over. Delicious. Had a cappuccino as well. ☕️

Tammy and I wrapped up an awesome Banff & Lake Louise photo workshop led by the incredibly talented Chase Guttman this afternoon. Great locations and photos — and learning photography skills at the same time. Has me thinking about the next workshop… 📷

Happy National Donut Day from the Canadian Rockies. 🍩🏔️

Visited Yoho National Park in British Columbia this morning.

Finished hiking 4.68 miles and 1,237 feet gained in 142.2 minutes, average incline 11.4%. 🥾 Nice tea and sandwich stop at the Tea House.

I have never seen such a congregation of photographers in the wild as Moraine Lake on the “rock pile” at 5am.

This morning was 3:40am wakeup and shuttle ride up to Moraine Lake to shoot Blue Hour and Sunrise. First photo capture 4:35am. “f/8 and be there”

Day 3 of the Micro.blog photo challenge — the shadows on this mountain at sunset are very compelling. 📷

Photographing the Three Sisters. 🏔️

Sunrise on the mountains.

Snow-capped mountains are reflected in a calm lake surrounded by dense green forests under a dramatic sky.

The 4:15a alarm this morning to go shoot sunrise is reminding me of a saying I first heard from my friend Layne Kennedy:

Big part of photography is f/8 and be there.
