My homeowner's policy does cover my photo equipment. My son rents an apartment and has renter's insurance on the contents which also covers his photographic equipment. Just make sure that your policy is enough to cover the total replacement cost of all contents......and document, document, document! Take photos and write out your list and put it in a safe place like your bank box.

But most importantly talk to your agent to make certain you are covered.

My home insurance also "covers" my photo equipment, just like any other possessions. What you have to watch out for are things like how much of a deductible you have on general possessions. Also, some home (or renter) policies won't necessarily cover your equipment if you are using it for business purposes. Even though I do not use my stuff for business I chose to have them set up a separate coverage for the photo equipment as part of my homeowner policy, with a $50 deductible. I have about $5000 of equipment covered for less than $100/yr. A real benefit is that they maintain a complete list of my equipment on file, including serial numbers and $$ values. I carry copies of this list whenever I travel (obviously separate from the camera gear :) ) in case something gets stolen.

I had not realized there were two falls,thought I was at the same as you.This was in summer of 2010.For interest,you might check out the ferry north of Kamloops,it is cable guided and powered by river current only,has been since early 1930's.Friendly operator,fruit stand hearby.

The two I posted were from different locations. Elbow Falls is only about 30 minutes west of Calgary, while Athabasca Falls is near Jasper ... a 3 or 4 houor drive west into the mountains. Have only been into the Kamloops area in the interior of British Columbia a few times, but have not been to the ferry you mention.

Welcome to the forum gleneric, and yea, we have room for another Oly user or two :)

Like the third shot the best - the lower half almost has a surreal feel to it.

Thanks. The third one was my first ever attempt at doing a handheld, three-shot bracketted HDR ... processed using Photomatix Pro software.

Hello from newbie in Calgary, Alberta

Don't recall how I stumbled onto this site, but looks like some interesting topics and discussions.

Have to ask ... is this site primarily "canikon" oriented, or can an Olympus user jump in? Have only ever owned Oly equipment, since 1978.

Partial to landscapes, particularly "winterscapes" ... though want to learn more about baby photography now that I have my first grandchild to shoot :)

Elbow Falls, just west of Calgary

Athabasca Falls, Jasper Alberta
