Planes, Choppers, and.... Supertramp
Here are some shots from Wednesday, I had a break from the Stampede Grounds. The first assignment was to update our photo files on Westjet/Air Canada planes , so I got to go hang out up in the control tower at Calgary International Airport and take photos of planes for a few hours. After that, I headed up to the Stampede RoundUp which is a huge stampede party, which Roger Hodgson was the main act. I liked the picture because typically you don't get access to that angle behind the scenes, and it was more of a quiet moment that went with the Supertramp songs he was singing. And finally I went feature hunting for the last hours of my shift as the light was beautiful, and ended up with some silhouettes (hey I can't control where the sun sets) which I was fairly happy with. Seeing that Griffin helicopter fly around was pretty cool , although I was unable to secure a ride in it. Maybe next time.

Supertramp is amazing. I'm jealous that you went, and you got a great shot. Yes, good angle and great moment. Geeze, this stampede business is serious stuff. Must be nice to get away to the airport for a breather! You know, funnily enough there are still more than a few cowboy hats around there as well...
Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.
