Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane WA

by

I shot this photo from a gondola ride that takes you under the bridge and over the Spokane River. This bridge looks amazing to me! It was build way back in 1911! Spokane has so much great old architecture, it’s worth a trip there for that reason alone. Camera: Canon 5D & 24-70L @24mm ~ …

Warm Calgary

by

Winter is in full effect around Calgary these days and it makes it hard for me to want to get out there haha. So I am throwing it back to a time when I would walk outside in a T-shirt and be happy about it ;). I’ll make it out there for some winter shots …

Fall Flare

Camera: 5D mark ii & 50mm 1.8 mark i ~ Settings: 1/60th – f/18 – ISO 800 I’m sure it still looks like this in some places in the good ol US of A, but not here in Calgary, Canada haha. I took this picture a couple of months ago. Today I woke up to …

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 …

Selfie in Seattle

by

I think these pictures are close to 2 years old. I was down by the water in Seattle at Piers 62 & 63 taking some pictures. For whatever reason I decided this would be a good opportunity to snap a little Selfie action :). Both of these pictures were shot with a 5D & 24-70L …

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 …

City Park View

by

I shot this picture from my favourite park in the city. It’s called Princes Island Park and it is right downtown in Calgary (well uptown really). In the winter time this pond is frozen and lit up for ice skating. I’ll go down there this winter and get some pictures of people skating. The thing …

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 …

A Little Waterfall Action

by

Yesterday a friend of mine and I went on a little outing to try to get some landscape photos. We were planning to make our way a little closer to the mountains for a sunset, but the clouds were not co-operating and the sun ended up behind the clouds before we could make it 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 …
