For me tourism photography is around 70% good planning, and 30% being present and seeing what unfolds in front of you. Letting curiosity take the wheel and being ready to pull over at a moments notice. Being ok with passing a place by if it just isn’t giving you the right vibes. I have captured magical moments in mundane places, and been unmoved by some of the must see attractions. For as long as I can remember I have loved to travel…
My wheels crunched over gravel in the evening summer heat as I pulled into the English country-house style B&B in Rosebud, AB, cleverly named Banks & Braes. I was a few minutes late, so I had hurried along the highway downing coffee in preparation for the night of star photography that lay ahead of me. I had been hired to capture the dark skies above the artistic theatre town of Rosebud nestled into a valley about 30 minutes south of Drumheller, and had been told this place was a must see.
