Summer Cycle

Calgary has some nice biking paths around the city. There are some nice views and great places to stop along the way. I personally wouldn’t be caught cruising around on the paths right now as it is currently 16°F out and I’m sure I’d freeze to death and if that didn’t kill me I’d surely …

Doable Winter

We are finally having some winter weather I can actually deal with in Calgary! It has been around 7C (44F) mark for the past couple weeks and it is only getting warmer in the forecast! I don’t know how long it can stay like this, but I’ll take whatever I can get. The warm weather …

Summer Skyline

I shot this one back in early September and then forgot about it haha. I was driving by this little park on my way to a photo shoot when I saw a hill I could probably get a shot from. Since I had plenty of time to get to my shoot I decided to make …

Island Among Towers

Here is a shot of the Calgary skyline with a nice view of Princes Island up front. Princes Island is a wonderful city park, with lots of trees, trails, bridges and plenty of open spaces to enjoy a picnic or just hang out with a bit of nature in the city. The modern Calgary skyline …

Colorful Condos

A Couple Urban Black & White

Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 200mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/800th – ISO 100 Yesterday I went down to one of the bridges in the city to try to get a shot between the buildings, however the shot I was going for wasn’t there. I just took a couple shots anyhow since …

Scattered Sky

Camera: Canon 16-35L @ 35mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1.3 seconds – ISO 800 Yesterday when I was on my way home I noticed the sky looked a little scattered. I thought it was worth stopping to grab a quick picture, so I did just that. I didn’t feel like dragging out my tripod and setting …

Sunset City

Cold Calgary Night

This shot has a super urban feel to me and makes Calgary look very dense. I shot the photo on a cold winter night and I think you can tell. Well you can’t tell like it was Buffalo NY, but trust me, it was cold! haha. Camera: Sony NEX-7 & 55mm 1.8 Zeiss ~ Settings: …

3 Buddies in the City

Yesterday my sons and I caught the train from our neighbourhood to one of the neighbouring areas to mix up our urban routine. Naturally I had my camera with me and shot a few photos through out the afternoon. Our original idea was to check out some candy stores I knew of in the area, however …

From The Inner City

This is a shot from my neighbourhood in Bridgeland/Renfrew in Calgary to downtown. I shot this photo a couple blocks away from my house last night. That is one of the things I love about living in an inner-city neighbourhood, easy access to wonderful views of the city :). Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 …
