There are so many different lights going on in this picture. The street lights on the street and in the park by the lake and then this really bright section in the middle. You can see the light just pouring out of the middle layer of the photo. I was tempted to tone that down, …

Milk Run
I had to run out to the grocery store for milk last night. I also knew I needed a picture for today so I had that bouncing around in the back of my head. As I was getting my stuff on to head out to the store I thought of this photo. It’s so random, …
Good Holidays
The holidays have been going great over here. I hope wherever you are you have been enjoying the holidays too! I figured I’d better get this picture out the door while it was still the season. I love the extra bit of colour the Christmas lights add to the scene. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
How is it Christmas Eve?
It is hard to believe it is Christmas Eve! This holiday season just zipped by so fast for me. All month I have been well aware that Christmas was fast approaching, but for some reason it just has not really seemed to sink in for me. I will be attending a large Christmas dinner on …
Open for Weed
I love neon signs! I’ve actually gone unsuccessfully looking for them at times. So when I noticed this one while driving down the street one day in my neighbourhood I made a mental note to bring my camera next time I was going to be walking by. That day finally came a few days ago. …
Early Night Downtown
I was downtown last night and I knew this view was coming my way, so I brought my camera along. I love views like this at night. I mean a view like this is great in the day time too, but at night it’s especially beautiful to me. I also think this type of city …
Colourful Lake
I went out last night with a 70-200 and nothing else. It’s probably a good thing too because if I had another longer lens, I surely would have used it and I think that would have been a mistake. For this particular photo with all the colourful lights reflecting off the lake I think 200mm …
Kelowna BC on Fire!
I don’t even know what to say about this picture. In the afternoon the McDougall Creek wildfire was just on the other side of that mountain and smoke was flying into the sky like it was coming out of a cannon. I never thought it would start burning down this side of the mountain towards …
Bench with a View
I was walking through City Park as one does in Kelowna. It’s a nice view of the city on the north side of the park. There are these benches a long the promenade and people are always there enjoying the view. This picture is super random as I could have shot any one of the …
Rickshaw Paradice
I made my way downtown last night to see what was happening. There was a lot going on, but these rickshaws were putting on quite the show. These guys just take people for a ride and jump around and spin. The people in the carts seem to be having the time of their life and …
Cute Sign
I was walking down this weird street in Kelowna the other night looking for a picture when I noticed this cute snail sign. I kinda had to climb on this little fence to get a proper shot of it. I was shooting with my Leica M8 with a 50mm f2 lens which is manual focus, …
A Warm Street in Mexico
As I sit here and it’s clearly freezing cold outside I can’t help but think back to last year around this time when I was walking around San Jose del Cabo, Mexico in a t-shirt and shorts. I love walking around taking pictures in warm weather. When the streets are icy like they are here …
Just a bit of Sunset
The sunsets are not always amazing, but they are always beautiful, well to me at least. I dunno why, but sunsets over a city just do it for me. I like big cities and big city views. This view has a lot going on because the foreground takes up so much of the space, but …
