Ode 2 the 50mm~Day 28

There have been a lot of storms this year. This was shot after a doozie. The image looks a little small but it’s actually twelve images stitched together. For awhile now I’d been meaning to try a panorama HDR. I hadn’t looked online to see if anyone else had done it to be honest, but figured it’d be a great idea for scenes like this, where the sky changes in so many ways, from clear to cloudy, and you can still very clearly see the storm, as it moves away from the center of the city. Of course, I only had a 50mm lens to work with as well, so getting the entire Calgary skyline was not possible otherwise from this vantage point.

As a photographer, I am obsessed with skyline photos. Couldn’t tell you why but I imagine it’s the fascination with documentary style photography. And with our ever changing city scape, there’s usually something new every time I set up the tripod.
