Ukrainian Village with Images Alberta Camera Club

Images Alberta Camera Club has an upcoming 

outing to Ukrainian Village.  In preparation, 

I was reviewing some of past year's shots. 

Here are a few of my favourites. - for today!

All of the images were processed using Adobe Lightroom 3 and plug-in presets

from OnOne software (free download).  The collage was assembled in Adobe

Photoshop CS3. 

Alberta Youth Robotics - First Lego League

Last weekend I had the privilege to volunteer with the Alberta Youth Robotics Society for their First Lego League championships. 

Teams build and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology to score

points in 2.5-minute matches on a themed playing field.

More to come - here's a first draft of the fun from the day.

Winter Feast

From a winter hike along the Trans-Canada trail in Fort Smith NWT...
an overcast day that carried into the night and obscured any chance 
of catching the northern lights. 

Red Polls(?) picking seeds.

Wait and they will come.

 

 

Highway 16 east of Japer has  two areas where the sheep come down to drink - or to lick the salt from the roadway and vehicles that stop to check them out.  I photographed this ram at the end of October using my Sigma 80-400 OS lense from my vehicle.  We waited on a roadside pullout and just let them wander up and down the shoulder until the light was right and we got the poses we wanted.  Patience paid off today before the rain came.

Fort Edmonton runs a Christmas Lights tour in mid December.  The stores and buildings in the 1912 block are lit and have Christmas displays.  A young visitor stops to enjoy this teddy bear emporium.
