Road trip to Calmar - Wahoo!

A fellow photo colleague (Corey) and I decided yesterday to take advantage of bluesky winter weather and head out into the countryside and see what we could find to shoot. With no agenda in hand we decided to just drive to Calmar. I remembered seeing a Ukrainian Orthodox Church out that way and thought it might be interesting to shoot late in the day. So two commercial shooters trying to shoot an Orthodox Church in the snow – same approach, creative thinking and exact same images captured – not. It was actually quite interesting to see the different approach that each of us had in capturing this majestic lady on the open prairies. As the sun continued to set we collectively decided to head to Pigeon Lake to see what else we could find. Low and behold we were in for a treat – hoar frost on the trees and miniature icebergs on the lake – we could not have scripted better weather. Thanks Corey it was a great afternoon of just shooting whatever grabbed us.
