Skyline Camera Phone

by

I shot a photo of the Calgary skyline this summer from the East Village. While I was there I took my phone out shoot a Instagram picture. While taking that picture if thought a picture of my phone taking that picture might be cool haha. I’m a big fan of the BOKEH!, so I rather like …

The Nikon DF or Nikkormat

by

With the release of the rumoured retro looking Nikon DF full frame DSLR (16mp) comes some big decisions for people who love the look and feel of the old school film SLR’s of the 60’s & 70’s. For most people, I believe the main decision will be, “Do I feel like spending the $2,750.  price …

Canon 28mm f/1.8

by

I picked up a new lens recently that I had been thinking about getting for quite sometime. I was torn between the Canon 28mm f/1.8 & the Sigma version. I decided to go with the Canon version because of the size and weight (smaller & lighter). The lens performs decent wide open as you can …

An Evening Bike Ride

by

Last night after dinner my wife and I decided to take our children on a little bike ride (them biking & us walking) to the park. Since it was getting dark when we left and was only going to get darker I decided to use my 50mm f/1.2. Here are a few of the pictures …

Big Zoom (Sigma 50-500mm)

by

Let me start off by saying this is not a full in-depth review of the Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5 -6.3 APO DG OS HSM zoom, but rather a quick look. The other night I was out shooting some skyline shots from a good distance from downtown and I thought this might be a good opportunity to …

Studio Time with Mr. Blackman

by

A couple of days ago I was sitting in my office editing photos when I got a text message that read “Hey Rob, you still in Calgary?” I quickly replied with a “Yes” and “Who is this?” haha. To my delighted surprise it was my old buddy from Toronto Damian aka Mr. Blackman. Damian said …

These City Boys

by

I was looking for a file that had some wedding photos in it this morning and I came across these pictures from a day we spend downtown. I think it might have been Canada Day. Anyhow, I thought I’d share them here for the heck of it 🙂 All these pictures shot with a Canon 5D …

When A Bird Hits Your Window

by

Like I said last week, I’m mot much of a bird photographer. However when a bird comes flying into your living room window full speed ahead, you get your bird photographer hat on in a hurry! As was the case of this little guy. I was just changing the lens on my camera to go …

Go Flames!

by

This morning my 2 best buddies and I decided a little trip to the park was in order. The day was completely overcast in the morning and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a couple of pictures of us together with out having to worry about lighting. Since the NHL season …

Extra Random

by

This picture is extra random because this Metro Newspaper box has no business sitting there! In hindsight I should have shot a really wide-angle of this photo to show exactly where it is, but since I didn’t I’ll just tell you. It’s sitting by the bench on a baseball field! haha. The first time I …

These Ironmen

by

I was hanging out with my 2 little buddies today and it’s been raining out, so we were stuck inside. At first I was just taking pictures of these Ironman masks, then I thought I’d get these guys to help me out for a minute and put them on for me. I’m glad I did, …

Camera: Samsung NX100 with Canon FD 50mm 1.4 – Setting: 1/800th // f1.4 // ISO 100 I suppose this will be a rather personal post, as there is really no other reason I could think to post this picture haha. This is the coffee cup I start almost all of my mornings with. It’s a …
