This is a discussion on Uptown Saturday Night - Poster for Calgary within the Critiques forums, part of the Photography & Fine art photography category; Downtown Calgary is a mix of the urban and the rustic....
Nice composition. Looks like a great place to catch up with friends for a coffee of beer.

very nice. definitely captured the mood of Calgary!
Thanks! I had my tripod set up and was photographing the street mainly because of the color and flowers etc. I had a long lens on camera so these guys were more than a block away when photographed. When I looked at it on my computer later, I thought this is awesome, I could not have asked models to do better. Typical Calgary, the hats, one guy looking at his watch, the other checking his shopping and the interaction of the fourth looking over to the others. They had all been shopping at Llammele's (a famous Western wear shop.) Ironically, they are probably, German tourists! Ha! Ha! I like the photo though, it captures the vibrancy of downtown perfectly, I think. Calgary is a very urban, white collar community yet we hold fast to our 'western' culture.
