This was the scene upon exiting the Rocky Mountains in Alberta on an ambitious 9600km road trip from Toronto to Vancouver and back in 8 days. This was shot just east of <a href="http://www.crowsnestpass.com/" target="_blank">Crows Nest Pass</a> in Alberta. We tried to capture the immense beauty with juxtaposition of the green energy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine" target="_blank">wind turbines</a>, the mountains and the sunset to help convey the powerful feeling we had at that moment. Good thing I didn&#8217;t fall into a caffeine coma!</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/green-energy.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/green-energy-726x484.jpg" alt="Green Energy Turbines at Sunset in Alberta" title="Green Energy Turbines at Sunset in Alberta" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1358" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/05/energy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>High above Waterloo</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/05/high-above-waterloo/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/05/high-above-waterloo/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 02 May 2010 15:33:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[farm]]></category> <category><![CDATA[green]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hot air balloon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[road]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shadow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trees]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=1348</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a shot from a few thousand feet above the country side in Waterloo, Ontario.

Sandra won a contest for two to take a flight in a hot air balloon for an early morning flight. It turned out to be a perfect morning. It was a bit chilly but it was clear enough to see Toronto on the horizon from the air. The shot itself was composed to capture the man made shapes of the farmers fields. I waited until the shadow of the balloon was in the proper location before I took the shot, I like how the shadow quickly explains how the image was captured.</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hot-air-balloon-shadow.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hot-air-balloon-shadow-726x484.jpg" alt="Hot Air Balloon Shadow" title="Hot Air Balloon Shadow" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1349" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/05/high-above-waterloo/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Stylized field</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/03/stylized-field/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/03/stylized-field/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:35:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[clouds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[composite]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dark]]></category> <category><![CDATA[duotone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[field]]></category> <category><![CDATA[flowers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sepia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[skyline]]></category> <category><![CDATA[stylized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trees]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=1312</guid> <description><![CDATA[When living in Waterloo, I would often venture out into the country looking for scenes to shoot.

This particular shot is on one such day. Unfortunately it is not the most engaging composition however the editing techniques I was experimenting with is the motive for posting it here. What I do like about this image is it&#8217;s somewhat surreal feel and over-processed tones and hues. This particular image was also a catalyst to a slew of new images using a similar editing style which led to exploration of other editing techniques and so on.</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/field-with-trees.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/field-with-trees-726x484.jpg" alt="" title="field-with-trees" width="726" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1311" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/03/stylized-field/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Through the Valley</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/through-the-valley/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/through-the-valley/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:56:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blue]]></category> <category><![CDATA[green]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lens flare]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mountains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sky]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sun]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sunny]]></category> <category><![CDATA[valley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vivid]]></category> <category><![CDATA[warm]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=1089</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a shot along a valley near Osoyoos,British Columbia, Canada.

This is part of a series of images shot from a road trip we took from Toronto to Tofino and back. This was an area of the southern route through B.C. that took us through some really unique landscapes which were basically deserts in the valleys through the mountain range. I love the colour of this shot and the apparent depth created by the hazy background and the vivid foreground. I also didn&#8217;t mind the lens flare as I feel it helps convey the warmth and beauty of the moment.</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/approaching-osoyoos.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/approaching-osoyoos-726x484.jpg" alt="" title="approaching-osoyoos" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1090" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/through-the-valley/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Foggy Trail</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/foggy-trail/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/foggy-trail/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:41:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[black & white]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bruce trail]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grass]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[snow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[winter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=1083</guid> <description><![CDATA[In 2006, Burlington, Ontario (where I was living at the time) did not get a lot of snow that winter, the weather was rather strange.

This is a shot on the <a href="http://brucetrail.org/" target="_blank">Bruce Trail</a> in Burlington.  While hiking, I came across a really unique set of circumstances, the top of the escarpment was covered in fog, with an uncharacteristic small amount of snow and extremely soggy ground. I took this shot of the side of the escarpment with the incredible fog not allowing much visibility. I really like the balance of this image with the ratio of sky to ground.</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/foggy-trail.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/foggy-trail-726x484.jpg" alt="" title="foggy-trail" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1082" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/foggy-trail/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Kennedy Lake, Vancouver Island</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/kennedy-lake-vancouver-island/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/kennedy-lake-vancouver-island/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:32:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[clouds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kennedy lake]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lake]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mountains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pink]]></category> <category><![CDATA[silhouette]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=1037</guid> <description><![CDATA[A stylized shot of Kennedy Lake on Vancouver Island on the way to Tofino...]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="copy-div"><p>This is a stylized shot of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Lake" target="_blank">Kennedy Lake</a> <a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&#038;source=s_d&#038;saddr=49.045235,-125.50375&#038;daddr=&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;mra=mi&#038;mrsp=0&#038;sz=12&#038;sll=49.045295,-125.503006&#038;sspn=0.211758,0.528374&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;z=12" target="_blank">(see location)</a> on Vancouver Island on the way to Tofino.

So I purchased a <a href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2008models/2008models-Honda-CBR600RR.htm" target="_blank">2008 Honda CBR 600 RR</a>. The bike has since been sold. After moving to Toronto, I found this bike to be rather overkill for the daily commute. I will definitely say it was an incredible joy to drive and really was an odd but full filling chapter in my life. I really thought this bike was a magnificent beauty, pictures simply couldn&#8217;t do it justice.</p></div><div class="img-div"><a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/honda-cbr-600-rr.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/honda-cbr-600-rr-726x484.jpg" alt="2008 Honda CBR 600rr" title="2008 Honda CBR 600rr" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1034" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/2008-honda-cbr-600rr/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Skyway Bridge</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/skyway-bridge/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/skyway-bridge/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:32:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blue]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bridge]]></category> <category><![CDATA[clouds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[composite]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[long exposure]]></category> <category><![CDATA[night]]></category> <category><![CDATA[orange]]></category> <category><![CDATA[road]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yellow]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=481</guid> <description><![CDATA[When I first got into photography shot a lot of photos of the Skyway Bridge in Burlington, Ontario.

This composition was shot at night with a long exposure. What I really liked about the final composition was the light sky on the bottom right corner which was a reflection of the City of Hamilton. I also loved how the lights flared into the lens and the overall tungsten lighting with the cool sky colour. I did some clone stamping which didn&#8217;t turn out so well however was awesome for me at the time.</p></div><div class="img-div"> <a href="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/skyway-bridge-composite.jpg"><img src="http://stevepell.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/skyway-bridge-composite-727x484.jpg" alt="" title="Skyway Bridge" width="727" height="484" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-497" /><em class="enlarge-img"></em></a></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/skyway-bridge/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Moon Rise</title><link>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/moon-rise/</link> <comments>http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/moon-rise/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:07:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Steve Pell</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Photo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[composite]]></category> <category><![CDATA[landscape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[moon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sunset]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tree]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://stevepell.ca/?p=526</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a shot of the moon rising over a cornfield during sunset.

What I loved about this image was the drastic change in direction of the tree and the lack of any leaves on it. I also like the position of the Moon rising over the tree and field. I did enlarge the Moon to give it more detail. <a href="http://stevepell.ca/2010/02/dead-tree-moon/">Like this image</a>, I did this to add more visual interest and detail to the moon.
