Calgary Downtown July 30 5:43 PM

Calgary before the aurora chase after the great sunset

I've had a drone for nearly a year now and I'm still not sure if I really like it or not. Maybe I'm just slower than average but I was surprised that there was a bit of a learning curve as far as composition goes. Considering that I slaved away at the Saddledome and spent nearly every penny I made there on this contraption, you'd think I'd use more than I currently do. I thought so too, but it's just such a pain in the ass to try and set this thing up while there's an SD40 breathing down your neck. I often find myself having to decide whether to get a drone or a "normal" shot rather than both and seeing as this things camera is about on par with my phone, I almost always go with my camera.

That being said, it still manages to pull of some cool angles and I am trying to plan to use it more going into 2023.

Spring has sprung and where there was bare brown a week ago there is green

Managed to get to this fantastic viewing spot at just the right time to capture the city skyline and, at the front, the Scotia Saddledome - home of the Calgary Flames NHL team.

it's perfect time when the sky is clear and sunset also.

A smokey red sunset tonight over Calgary!

Home of the Calgary Flames NHL hockey team, the Saddledome has had a number of names in the past. Currently, it is the Scotiabank Saddledome, and previously it was the Pengrowth Saddledome. The name goes where the money is...

I scoped out a new spot to shoot the fireworks and I found the Saddledome makes a nice backdrop

Calgary's vibrant cityscape showcases a sprawling urban skyline. The Saddledome A uniquely shaped building stands prominently in the foreground, with clusters of skyscrapers creating a dynamic backdrop.

Went out with Juan last night and scouted some locations for some nice Calgary skyline nigh photography. Can you guess where this was taken?

Oh, and off course.. click here for really really the big one
