Weekly Photo – February 15, 2011
Technically, I am supposed to post a weekly photo every Monday, but yesterday was Valentines Day and so it was a day off from the office for obvious reasons. By the way, I happened to have my best Valentines Day ever. Wow! But I can’t really talk about that 😉
Anyway, I am posting the weekly photo here today. On my photo tours I ask participants to post their six best images from the trip to showcase their work. In the past, I never posted my own photos but I have had a number of requests to do so. Below are my six favorites from the January 2011 Winter Photo Tour. If anyone is interested we just happened to have a last minute cancellation for the March 2-6, 2011 Winter Photo Tour. Contact Alan at the Aurum Lodge at info@aurumlodge.com to book this last spot (it will likely go fast so hurry if you are interested).

I am off to Abraham Lake for a 3 day stay at Aurum Lodge this weekend. I am excited to say the least…. until I look at the weather forecast… :s

Love the perspective and cool blue tones of the Abraham Lake shot. Very powerful image.

Beautiful. Love the tones. I want a 17 TS-E! Oh.. and your eye for composition.
