I shot this photo over the weekend on a cloudy day. I am sure it would be much better if it was nice day, because the contrast of the blue sky would be great. I might just have to go back another time. Actually, maybe a twilight shot would be even better! We’ll see :). Camera: …

Ice Skating Downtown
This is the Olympic Plaza ice skating rink downtown in Calgary. I took this around 1pm on Monday and as you can see there wasn’t a lot of people there. This might be an ideal time to do some skating if you’re looking to avoid crowds :). It’s a nice setting right downtown and the …
The Skipping Stone Bridge
I have been meaning to make my way down to the new Skipping Stone Bridge for some night shots for a while now and finally made it out last night. Although you can’t tell from this picture, I can assure you it was freezing out! Even with the cold, I am glad I went out. The …
Fall Was Nice
I’d say we had a pretty decent fall here in Calgary this year. The two prior falls I experienced in Calgary were a lot shorter and winter blasted in from out of no where. This year it kind of eased its way into winter and I was able to adapt and mentally prepare for the …
Modern Lights
I like when modern buildings have these kind of cool lights on them. Makes the city look futuristic 🙂 Camera: Canon 6D & 15mm 2.8 Fisheye ~ Settings: f/22 – 30 seconds – ISO 200 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Under the Centre Street Bridge
Sometimes you gotta climb around to the kind of picture you want. Like this one for instance, the tide was low on the river so I decided to climb under the bridge as far over as I could go with out getting wet. I shot a lot of photos this night and this was the very …
Nice Little Field in Edmonton
I shot this one on my last trip up to Edmonton this summer. The thing I like about this picture is it shows a little detail into the city. The baseball field for instance, it’s small, but it’s nice. The factory (or whatever it is) beside it looks like the field looks to have a …
Under the Moonlight
I shot this one a few weeks ago and keep meaning to post it. I love this bridge in the day and love it even more in the night. If you don’t know, it’s the Peace Bridge here in Calgary, Canada. If you have never been here, you haven’t been to the future ;). Camera: …
Fave Apartment Building
This is my favourite apartment building in Calgary. A wonderful example of pre-war one architecture that is very hard to come by in this modern city. Camera: Nikon D300s & Sigma 10-20mm @10mm – Settings: f/8 – 30 seconds – ISO 200 Camera: Nikon D300s & Sigma 10-20mm @16mm – Settings: f/16 – 30 seconds …
Sunset Over Calgary
I shot this on Tuesday evening off an overpass near my house. The previous day I was driving over said overpass at the exact same time I took this picture. As I crossed the overpass I saw right away what a great shot it could be, so I noted the time and came back the …
The Hastings Building
On my recent trip to Port Townsend, Washington I was most excited to see this particular building in person for myself. I had looked at pictures of it many times online and had fallen in love with it the moment I saw it. I love this type of old Victorian architecture and seeing it in …
