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
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 …

Sitting Around In This Bright City
Last night a friend mine and I went downtown to shoot some photos. I shot this one of my self looking at my favourite building in the city. I had my camera set up on a tripod and ran over to the spot I am sitting in and stayed as still as I could for …
An Evening Bike Ride
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
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)
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
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
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
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
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 …
Bokeh In The House
Some times you just gotta shoot f/1.2 and let the bokeh do the talking. 😉 Camera: Canon 5D mark ii & 50L – Setting: 1/200th // f1.2 // ISO 2500 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Calgary Night Skyline
I went out to shoot a few photos last night and got some skyline shots. I shot these photos from Crescent Road in Crescent Heights. That street is probably my favourite street in city. The view you get while driving or walking on Crescent Road is amazing the whole way. If your ever in Calgary a …
