I went out the other night with a friend of mine with the goal of taking some long exposures. We both live close to Calgary’s Bowmont Park, a 164 ha natural area inside the city. At this time of year the Bow River is nearly frozen over and we were hoping to get some images that would contrast the frozen shores with the still-moving water. It was a partly cloudy night which created an interesting orange glow from the clouds and it was a cold night too so we didn’t linger too long.
The best shot of the night was when a train came steaming over the bridge just downstream from us.
Outdoor photography doesn’t have to stop in the wintertime, it just requires a little more creativity and a good pair of gloves!
