This is a photo taken last summer over the Imperial Oil Kearl project in the oil sands. It is only a small part of the entire area but the amount of construction involved is mind boggling. This photo, along with others can be found on our WorkAbove Stock Photo website.
Low Visibility
Smoke from forest fires in northeastern Alberta made their way down to Edmonton last week and I just happened to be photographing in the area. This is a shot of the downtown area from above the city airport.

Calgary March 28, 2012
Here’s a short video I made of the City of Calgary on Wednesday. I used the Canon 17mm T/S lens to give the buildings a normal perspective. The lens works best on a tripod where the camera is level so a helicopter is not an ideal situation but I think the results are interesting and a little different than if I had used a straight wide angle lens.
Chokoloskee, Florida
March 10 at Florida’s Gulf coast, near Everglades City in the Ten Thousand Islands group. Chokoloskee is a small quiet island with an interesting history accessed from the mainland via causeway.
