Hipster Camera on The Hip

I had the idea for this shot for one reason, to show off the cool looking Canon A-1. I think the A1 looks extra cool with the grip attached to it, so I was thinking of how I could get a good picture with the camera being the main focal point and not just have …

Pre-Focus Run

I like getting pictures of people running from this part of the city. The skyline background just does it for me somehow. On this day I posed a bit of challenge to myself. I wanted to get a shot of someone running, well, , , a woman running, because people like pictures of women running …

Permanent Gaze

I hit the streets on Saturday night and found my self at City Hall. I shot a few different photos before I wandered over to this horse statue. I though full body might be cool, but I decided to go for just the head and show more detail. Another plus for getting in closer is …

NY Jets Helmet

I have recently been working on a little DIY project and this helmet is the finished product. While I was down in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho this summer I found this old football helmet at a random thrift store I wondered into. For a measly $10 I thought why not pick it up and see what …

Sitting Around The East Village

I was down in the East Village of Calgary over the weekend. I was taking pictures of the river off the boardwalk when I decided to try out one of these chairs. I figured if I was gonna grab a nice little seat for my self I might as well shoot another photo while I’m at it. …

Wedding Party in the Park: Caroline & Danny

I shot Caroline & Danny’s wedding last weekend and it was a blast! The ceremony was an intimate setting, yet with a full house. The entire ceremony was beautiful and everything went rather smoothly. Well, it went smoothly after some forgotten flyers showed up 15 minutes late haha. After the ceremony we zipped over to Confederation Park …

Canon vs Sony 70-200mm

I have been shooting a decent amount with my Sony a7R these days and I have run into some auto focus speed issues along the way. I have found that Sony’s hit rate of moving subjects is noticeably lower than what I have been used to with my Canon gear. This issue rang especially true …

Twin Sheds

I was driving in the country one day when I zipped by these random sheds in this field. I kept on driving a little ways when I decided it might make a good picture. A quick stop and U-turn later I was walking through these strange bushes trying not get my shoes dirty haha. The …

Wedding by the River: Mal & Jay

I shot Mal & Jay’s wedding last weekend and it was a beautiful day for it! I started my day off at Mal’s house to get some shots of her and the girls while they got ready. When I arrived everyone was in good spirits and clearly having fun. After some fun shots with the …

4 Year Old Violet

This is the 3rd photo shoot I have done with Violet and her mom. Violet is about to turn 4 years old and for the past couple of birthdays we have done a photo shoot. It’s so fun to see her over the years and watch how she has changed. This year Violet was easier …

The Host

A couple of weeks ago I went to a BBQ at a friends place down the street. This young lady was our gracious host :). I didn’t take too many pictures, because I figured I’d better talk to people instead of being “camera guy” the whole time haha.   Thanks for stopping by, Rob
