Running with a View

by

I was out getting some shots of the Calgary skyline yesterday and while I was there I shot a couple pictures of some girls running. This path they were running on is a great place to run because of the beautiful view of the city. I personally don’t run, but this view is almost enuf …

This photo was shot with Canon 5D mark ii & Canon 24-85mm @85mm & f/4.5 I did a little comparison between 2 of my favourite lenses, the Canon 50mm 1.8 mark i & the 50L. With a price differnce of at least $1500, the case one can make to buy the 50L can only be …

Wedding Days – Marae & Travis

by

It’s been a while since I shot a wedding! In fact this is the first wedding I ever shot in Calgary. I just happen to work with Marae at the the real estate company I shoot photos and videos for and ended up shooting her wedding 🙂 I started the day out at the Marae’s …

Confused By This Film

by

I recently got my hands on this old film camera. It is the Pentax Spotmatic F, circa 1973 -76. It’s got a very popular (even today) SMC Takumar 50mm 1.4 lens on it, so I was very excited to use it. When I got home I loaded up some old film I had laying around. …

The Worlds Saddest Playground Toys

by

I was out with the family today and ended up at this park. It was there I came across the worlds 2 saddest playground toys. Upon arriving my 2 year old son ran over to these old spring loaded riding Duck & Frog’s. He took one look at the frog and said “He’s sad” haha. …

Canon FD Lens to Samsung NX Converter

by

I have a Samsung NX100 mirrorless camera that takes really great pictures, especially of people. I also own some great old 70’s era Canon FD manual focus lenses from the film days. So I bought a FD to NX converter to use my Canon FD lenses on my NX100. The converter came in the mail today …

Love For The 1st Canon EF 50mm 1.8

by

Let me start off by saying I own and often use the Canon EF 50mm 1.2 L Series lens. However, I still love my 50mm 1.8 mark 1, it’s a wonderful lens and produces amazing images. The glass used in the mark 1 is exactly the same as the cheaper built “Plastic Fantastic” 50mm 1.8 …
