Cancun Night
I shot this photo from the balcony of my hotel room in Cancun, Mexico this past winter. Most of the resorts were down the street and around the corner. This area had a more authentic feel to it, which I like. đ˛đ˝Â đ Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Fireworks Over Calgary
Here is a little Calgary Stampede fireworks action from Sunday night. Fireworks are always a struggle to shoot. You need get a good one in the first few moments or the smoke takes over the scene and it usually doesn’t look as good. Thankfully I got this shot off before the smoke got to crazy. Thanks for stopping by, …
Canon vs Sony 70-200mm
I have been shooting a decent amount with my Sony a7R these days and I have run into some auto focus speed issues along the way. I have found that Sony’s hit rate of moving subjects is noticeably lower than what I have been used to with my Canon gear. This issue rang especially true …
Oh Deer Vernon
Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS at 200mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/500th – ISO 320 Yesterday I hopped on a little plane and flew out to Vernon, BC Canada. My parents in-law live in Vernon and I met up with my wife and kids who were already here. No longer then 30 minutes …
Water Like Ice
Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 138mm ~ Settings: f/25 – 25 seconds – ISO 320 The river water in this picture kind of looks like ice. Well not real ice I guess, because when the river is frozen over it doesn’t look anything like this. Maybe I should get a picture of that …
Beautiful Port Townsend
Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f/4 IS @ 200mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/200th – ISO 320 I shot this one from the ferry while pulling into Port Townsend, Washington. I am a big fan of old buildings and houses and Port Townsend has an abundance of both. The architecture alone is enough for me to …
Biking Action
Camera: Canon 6D & 50mm ~ Settings: f/2.2 – 1/3200th – ISO 100 These are a couple of pictures I took last summer of my father in-law during his biking part in the Penticton, BC triathlon. If it was me, I’d be cruising on in to the finish line about 10 hours after the race ended lol. Big …
Coffee Drinking Statue
I was out shooting photos downtown the other day when I noticed this statue, who is clearly in a hurry had a Tim Hortons coffee in his hand! lol. I found this rather amusing and thought you might too :). Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 89mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/640 – ISO …
Down Centre Street
Here’s a picture from when you could walk outside with comfortable clothes on! haha. This is the view looking south down across the Centre Street Bridge here in Calgary. I don’t post vertical pictures very often, so I’m not sure about what size I should post them at. Let me know if this is to …
Buster Doggy
This is my neighbours little doggy, “Buster”. I took these pictures during the summer while we were having a bit of a block party. The cat he is playing with is my cat and his name is “Mittens” haha. I know, I know, I didn’t choose that name, trust me! ;). Camera: Canon 6D & …
Sailing The Olympic Peninsula

The Bow River City
Last night a friend of mine (his blog here) and I went to shoot this photo and we knew a head of time wading through part of the Bow River was going to be part of the plan. On Tuesday evening my son and I had gone to a spot right by here to shoot …
