Last night I decided to do a quick little “battle of the bokeh” type test with the Canon 35mm 1.4 L series lens & the 28mm 1.8 prime. Given the prices difference in these lenses (35L – $1,479.00 vs 28mm $509.00) I can’t say I’d recommend springing for the L, unless your eyes can’t see anything else …

Buildings
I’m a city guy and I love urban architecture, so personally images like this one really speak to me. I shot this one in Calgary from the top of a partaking garage. Camera: Canon 6D & 24-105mm @105mm ~ Settings: f/14 – 1/125th – ISO 800 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Fireworks
There is a party that lasts well over a week that goes on every summer in Calgary called the Calgary Stampede. Every night there is a fireworks display that goes and one night I decided to go check it out. Here are a couple of the shots I took that night :). Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L …
Background Stink Eye
LOL, this picture make me laugh because of the guy in the background giving me the gnarly stink eye! hahaha. I don’t know what his issue was, but that’s his problem haha ;). I shot the photo while at an event here in Calgary a few weeks ago. I guess this girl is some kind …
28mm Manual Focus
I shot this photo with an old Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus RL Edition lens. The lens is a Nikon Mount and I got a Nikon to EOS adapter from ebay to use it on my Canon bodies. This lens is crazy sharp wide open and at every aperture. I think it goes with out saying …
Undercover in Calgary
On Saturday night a friend of mine and I went out to shoot some photos. It started ranging like crazy so we had to try to keep shooting under overpasses and covered areas, thankfully there are loads of these to choose from in Calgary. It eventually stopped raining, which allowed me to get the first …
Edmonton
I had to take a little trip up to Edmonton (capital of Alberta) the other day to take care of a couple of things. I haven’t been to Edmonton in well over 10 years and couldn’t remember much about the city. After taking care of business, I walked around taking pictures for a couple of hours and …
My Favourite Bridge
I wouldn’t call this a straight up shot of the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary, but you get the idea. It’s old, has style and is beautiful! Much like my self lol, kidding of course! (I’m not old) LOL ;). Ok, ok, ok, for real though, this bridge is awesome and when you cross it …
Wakeboarding Downtown Calgary
Yesterday I was out on a little photo mission with a friend of mine and we stumbled upon this random wakeboard jumping event being put on by Samsun Galaxy S5 & Much Music (Canadian MTV). Here are a few photos of the guys jumping and as you can see my camera got a little wet …
Filmless Fun
My son and I took at walk down to 7 Eleven yesterday evening to grab a couple Slurpees and I had my camera with me. While we were leaving my son Joshua decided he would take his camera with him too :). He shot a lot of photos while we were walking, however his camera …
Walking High in the Sky
I took this picture at the Calgary Tower. On the observation deck they have a glass floored area that hangs over the side of the tower. My son’s were walking around and enjoying the view and I snapped this picture. Camera: Canon 6D & 24-105L @75mm ~ Settings: f/11 – 1/500th – ISO 400 Thanks …
Cute House in Bridgeland
I was at the park the other day with my 2 boys and I noticed this cute little house across the street. This house is not a typical Calgary style house and that is part of what draws me to it. In a lot of Calgary neighbourhoods all the houses tend to look the same and …
American Eagle in BC
I just stumbled upon this picture yesterday evening (in my files) and it was the first time I really took a good look at it haha. I shot this photo while out on a walk in Castlegar, British Columbia. I was only able to get a 4 or 5 shots of him before he flew …
