Winnipeg Ice Castles

This week we had the pleasure of going to the Winnipeg Ice Castles located at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg.  It was worth the trip and fighting the minus 40c cold.

Our evening started out with dinner at The Forks itself, with a great meal form Kyu Grill in the main area.  This area was recently renovated and now includes many restaurants, craft beer and coffee sellers.  It was a perfect setting to begin our Ice Castle journey!

Once we completed our meal, we dressed up in our parkas and headed out to the Ice Castles located near the Human Rights Museum.  What an amazing sight!  Large structures made of frozen water, lit with various colors as you can imagine a photographers dream!

I must admit, I have been having issues with the F-stops and shutter speed settings in dark environments on the Nikon D7000, so some of the pictures did not turn out well.  However we did manage to get some lovely shots which you can see below and more of them in the Portfolio.

Jennifer & Cole – A Winters Walk

We had the pleasure of being asked by Jennifer & Cole to provide family photos and drone videos for their Christmas cards!

Our day started off with wonderful warm winter weather at Assinboine Park.  It was a great day and after a few hours of photos, filming and walking we are all exhausted.

We would like to thank Jennifer & Cole for letting us take their family photos, and you can see the photos here and the video below.

If you would like to engage us to do your family holiday photos please contact us!

Back In Winnipeg Pictures to Come

What can we say?  We had a blast on our mini trips across Canada and we are back working through all the pictures, videos and bug bites.

Last week we spent 4 days is lovely Rushing River Provincial Park where we camped, hiked and canoed around Dogtooth lake.   To top off the trip Ewelina even managed to get fries from Ye Olde Chip truck which of course is a tradition in our family if you ever go to Kenora.    On our last day we packed up, stopped by the LCBO and headed back to Winnipeg to refuel, recharge and head out on our next trip.

Our next trip took us 8 hours to northern Saskatchewan and a small city called Prince Albert.  Here we visited with Ewelina’s family at a family reunion.  The next day we packed our bags and headed back to Winnipeg, but not without stopping to take pictures of two old abandoned churches outside of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, these pictures will be coming soon, so please check on our blog for updates.

We have also picked up a DJI Phantom4 which we are now using to provide 3D mapping, agricultural and aerial photography.   We did a sample of this on the weekend and you can view it below:
