Urban landscapes: flowing out of the city
BOW RIVER AND SNOW
CALGARY, ALBERTA
I was wandering through Inglewood Bird Sanctuary (a wonderful natural area just east of this western Canadian city’s downtown core) when I encountered the snowy remains of a tree near the river.
I spent nearly a half-hour working with various perspectives and formats; I really like this view because the tree appears to be reaching toward you, the viewer.
As with so many winter pictures, there was almost no colour in this scene, so it was a no-brainer to create and show you a dramatic monotone version.
Nikon D7100, 17-70 mm zoom lens, tripod, polarizing filter, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky
