Rally in the Valley - Penticton Beach, BC



MINI Field Trip! Calgary, Alberta



Chilli Red and White Sunrise - Calgary, Alberta



Morning, MINI! - Calgary, Alberta



Say hello to your new best friend! Bearspaw, Alberta

I think this last one could be a good entry for July's photo contest (out of focus) but I already submitted another picture

Wow xtremepsionic, love those "golden hour" shots. Fantastic lighting and composition. First photo looks like a calendar entry to me. Thanks for sharing with us!

Camera, a 4 year old Canon D60, Sigma 17-35mm 2.8-4.5, Canon 28-135mm IS 3.5-5.6, and Canon 70-300mm IS 4-5.6. More importantly a 8lb tripod to hold everything still and a cable release

Geez, why did I neglect clicking on this thread!
You have some awesome pics there sir!
I really like the first wto.

Pic 1: The obvious sunset lighting. Composition is on target also. (I like how that rear wheel snuggles up against the lower corner.)

Pic 2: The scenery! Love the near-vanishing point road and that river.


Just wondering . . . looks like you've invested in a cool dual exhaust for a Cooper but I don't see much in the way of tires?

Exhausts: $350 USD installed. Tires, 19000km (about 12000 miles) and they have 30% tread left, waiting for them to wear out. I also have a set of racing slicks for fun

By the way, check out my website for more photos, especially from my recent 2000 mile solo road trip through some of the twistiest roads in Canada! Got a write up (photos and videos) of the dual exhaust on the site too

Wow...all great shots, and you're right, that last one probably would have won the contest! Amazing!

Wow...just went through the photos of your trip. I'm very jealous. I've been to BC and Alberta on various ski trips and know just how beautiful it is. I've just never drivin anything more than a big van with tire chains on it there.
You take such amazing photos of it all though...
I have some shots of Nelson here and (getting old now) Whistler here. I don't think I was even in my teens when I went to calgary/banff/jasper so those photos are in my parents photo albums. But I still don't forget how beautiful it is there.
