Peace on the Peace Bridge

If you like a futuristic bridge, then the Peace Bridge here in Calgary, Canada is the one for you! I shot these photos with a fisheye lens. When I was getting the one of the guy taking a picture of the girl tossing up the “Peace” sign, I almost ran right into them because I …

People On Their Way Home

Yesterday afternoon I was out getting some stock video shots and it started to lightly rain, so I packed up and started heading home. On my way to my car the rain kind of stopped, so I decided to shoot a few photos of people on their way home from work. These pictures were taken …

Crosswords While Walking

I was walking across the Centre Street Bridge here in Calgary the other day and I saw this guy walking up the bridge doing a crossword puzzle while walking! I put my camera up to my face and kept walking in his direction waiting for him to put his face up to see where he …

Self Portrait Time

I shot this self portrait a few weeks ago for a project I was working that didn’t amount too much. Since I took the picture I thought I’d share it here :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 35L ~ Settings f/1.4 – 1/8000th – ISO 100 Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Canon 35L vs 28mm 1.8

Last night I decided to do a quick little “battle of the bokeh” type test with the Canon 35mm 1.4 L series lens & the 28mm 1.8 prime. Given the prices difference in these lenses (35L – $1,479.00 vs 28mm $509.00) I can’t say I’d recommend springing for the L, unless your eyes can’t see anything else …

Buildings

I’m a city guy and I love urban architecture, so personally images like this one really speak to me. I shot this one in Calgary from the top of a partaking garage. Camera: Canon 6D & 24-105mm @105mm ~ Settings: f/14 – 1/125th – ISO 800 Thanks for stopping by, Rob

3 Year Old Violet

I did a shoot with Violet and her mom last year for her 2nd birthday and I had the pleasure of another shoot for her 3rd birthday! 🙂 The first few shots I used a reflector because the sun was blaring. The reflector really has a nice bit of light that I like a lot …

Fireworks

There is a party that lasts well over a week that goes on every summer in Calgary called the Calgary Stampede. Every night there is a fireworks display that goes and one night I decided to go check it out. Here are a couple of the shots I took that night :). Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L …

Seattle Aquarium

I bumped into this photo in my files the other day and realized I never posted it here! So I thought why not put it up now :). It’s kind of a random picture, but I like it some how (probably because the building says “Seattle” on it and LOVE Seattle haha). Camera: Canon 5D …

Background Stink Eye

LOL, this picture make me laugh because of the guy in the background giving me the gnarly stink eye! hahaha. I don’t know what his issue was, but that’s his problem haha ;). I shot the photo while at an event here in Calgary a few weeks ago. I guess this girl is some kind …

A Friendly Walk

I shot this photo when I was out at a horse show here in Calgary not to long ago. This shot was rather random as I was just walking by and noticed this girl walking with her horse and snapped a quick one :). Canon T3i & 70-300mm DO IS @200mm ~ f/5.6 – 1/400th …

28mm Manual Focus

I shot this photo with an old Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus RL Edition lens. The lens is a Nikon Mount and I got a Nikon to EOS adapter from ebay to use it on my Canon bodies. This lens is crazy sharp wide open and at every aperture. I think it goes with out saying …
