There is a great path that runs a long the Bow River here in Calgary and it is especially nice a night. I shot this one from a hill across the street that provides a great view of the east side of downtown and the river. Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Bright Lights
Even though I shot this photo at about 11:30pm the city is bright. I love the bright lights of a city at night and no other place makes me as happy or comfortable. I’m a city guy and love every bit of it :). Question: Not sure if any of you noticed or not, but I …
City Sculpture
Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/80th – ISO 640 Calgary spends a lot of money on public art and this particular piece is one of my favourite. I’m not really sure what it’s suppose to be (if anything), but I like it :). Thanks for stopping by, Rob
A Photo of Taking a Picture
Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L at 22mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 0.5 seconds – ISO 4000 Last night I went out to shoot some photos downtown. After about 4 different locations I ended up here. At first I was just getting some skyline shots with the fence in the foreground, and then the idea to …
From the East Village
Camera: Canon 6D & 28mm f/1.8 ~ Settings: f/20 – 20 seconds – ISO 100 I shot this on Sunday night right before I shot the photo in my last post. This little part of the East Village in Calgary is cool. Once some of these buildings are done and some stores and coffee shops …
Stop and Enjoy the View
Camera: Nikon D300s & 70-210mm F4 at 70mm ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/125th – ISO 200 I was out the other day shooting photos with my Nikon D300s and an old lens that has kind of a so-so reputation. The lens is a circa 1986 – 87 Nikon AF 70-210mm F4. I personally like the …
Not Quite Yet
Camera: Nikon D300s & AF 50mm 1.8 ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/160th – ISO 200 Just when you think winter is finally over, the weather gives you another blast to remind you where you live, Calgary! Every year I am fooled more than once into thinking the winter has ended, this year is no exception …
Street Meat & Subways
Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L at 28mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/100th – ISO 400 When I lived in Toronto, we called these hotdog vendors “Street Meat” haha. I’m not sure what they call them in Edmonton, but I’m sure the Street Meat is just as good :). The dome of windows behind the people …
Beauty of a Bank
Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L at 27mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/400th – ISO 400 I really love old buildings like this. There are not many of these beauties left in Alberta. I’m not a proper Albertan, so I’m not sure what the story is with all the old buildings. I am assuming they just …
City Selfie
Camera: Sony NEX-7 & 16mm f/2.8 with Sony Fisheye Converter ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/40th – ISO 400 I was out there shooting photos again yesterday and while I was getting some shots from the top of a parking garage I decided to snap a little selfie for myself. Gotta show my funny looking face …
Colorful Condos
Camera: Sony NEX-7 & 16mm f/2.8 with Sony Fisheye Converter ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/800th – ISO 1600 These types of newer style condos are everywhere in Vancouver, BC. When I was editing this photo my wife walked by and even asked me, “That’s crazy, is that Vancouver?” haha. Even though I agree it is …

Bit Of A Challenge
Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f/2.8 at 200mm ~ Settings: f/11 – 1/320th – ISO 400 So the other day fellow photographer and blogger Steve Boer (www.steveboer.com) passed on 5 day black and white photo challenge to me. The idea is to post black and white photos for 5 days straight. I love black and …
