Snow Rainbow

Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50mm 1.4 ~ Settings: f/20 – 1/160th – ISO 200 I’m sure there must be a scientific name for this snowy weather phenomenon, but I don’t know it, so I’m going with “snow rainbow” haha. I never really seen anything like it before. There was a bunch of tiny …

Not Waiting For A Train

Yesterday evening I was out running an errand and naturally, I had my camera with me. So before I headed home I decided to drop in on a subway station and see if I could get a picture. This lady was waiting for the train on the closest side to the escalator I came down. I waited …

Joshua’s Christmas Concert

Last night my 5 year old son Joshua had his school (Stanley Jones Elementary) Christmas Concert. The lighting wasn’t exactly ideal, but the cuteness made up for it! :). Joshua is the taller boy on the right hand side with the Calgary Flames tie on. All except the last shot were taken with a 5D mark …

Someone To Talk To

I was out shooting some street photography this weekend in Calgary. I saw this guy on a street corner and couldn’t help but notice his mannequin head sticking out of his shopping cart haha. I imagine him walking around talking to this head, but I don’t know, I could be way off! All’s I know, …

The Train Over 10th

I was looking for a picture in my files this weekend and came across this picture. I totally forgot I even took it and can’t believe I didn’t rush to share it straight away, because I rather like this shot. It’s a nice view down 10th Street and it’s kind of cool with the train going …

Nikon 50mm 1.8 vs 1.4 Video

I made this video yesterday that gives my thoughts on the Nikon 50mm 1.8D vs 1.4D. The test shots were very un-scientific. All pictures were taken hand-held, one after the other and the lighting in the room did not change. This video was shot with a Canon T3i & 28mm 1.8 and a 5D mark iii …

Joshua Coming Around

When I was trying to get a picture of my cat the other day, my son Joshua wanted me to take his picture. This request was quite shocking to me, because for the most part Joshua doesn’t like having his picture taken. I think I might have ruined it for him when he was small, …

Uninterested Cat

The night before last I tried getting a picture of my other cat, but he wasn’t having any of it! I couldn’t even get the other cat to look in my general direction haha.  So last night  I decided to give it another go with my other cat “Panda Bear”. This guy wasn’t exactly into …

Snowboarding Brothers

Sorry I haven’t been posting much these days. I recently bought a new place and just moved. So the last week has been nothing but packing and then unpacking! Yesterday I found a little time to have some fun in the front yard with my 2 boys to do some snowboarding on a the very …

3 Buddies in the City

Yesterday my sons and I caught the train from our neighbourhood to one of the neighbouring areas to mix up our urban routine. Naturally I had my camera with me and shot a few photos through out the afternoon. Our original idea was to check out some candy stores I knew of in the area, however …

Beautiful Penticton, BC

I had been to Penticton, British Columba a couple of times before my last trip this past summer, however it was on this tip I really fell in love with the place. On my pervious visits, it was always a day trip. This summer I had the pleasure of spending a few days there and …

Fun in Port Townsend

While I was in Port Townsend, Washington this past summer I was out with my 2 boys and wanted to get a picture of us together. I set up my camera on tripod and used my Canon RC1 remote to shoot the photo. I can’t remember what we where laughing at, but it was a good …
