Cam in Pandosy

by

My son Cameron and I went to Subway for lunch on the weekend. We just walked there from our hour in Pandosy (a neighbourhood here in Kelowna). Since I had my camera with me we just stopped for a couple pictures along the way. It’s always good to get pictures of the kids because they …

Someone I Met

by

I don’t remember exactly how it happened, but I randomly met this girl on the street in Kerrisdale. I was just walking around taking pictures and the next thing I know it was standing there having a conversation with this girl. I love these types of little moments you share with strangers on the street. …

Might as well stick Around

by

So after listening to the valuable information and points you guys gave me regarding either keeping my blog on WordPress or moving it, I have decided to just keep it here on WordPress. Making this general photography blog work with a wedding blog doesn’t really seem like something I can make work. I just don’t …

Minolta 50mm 1.2 vs Pentax 55mm 1.8

by

I have been shooting with my Minolta 50mm f/1.2 for a long time now. I have always known the short comings of the lens and had accepted the trade offs (like lack of sharpness wide open) for the f/1.2 speed. I have also had my Pentax 55mm f/1.8 for a long time, but haven’t shot …

Back To Fujifilm

by

I decided life would be better with a little Fujifilm back in my life. I picked up this Fujifilm X-T2 for a smoke’n deal from Vistek (a Canadian camera store) and I am so happy I did. If you have been a long time reader of this blog you know I have some experience with …

The Pick Up

by

So I’m picking up a leaf in this picture, but it was totally set up haha. Also, I was not planning on getting in front of the camera that day, so wardrobe was given zero thought. I prefocused using my manual focus Nikon Ai 50mm f/1.8 using a spot in the sand as an estimation …

She grows so fast!

by

I shot this photo a few weeks ago and I figured I’d better post it before she’s double the size! This little dog is growing at an incredible speed! I love her just how she is, but I wish she could stay a puppy for a little while longer. 😉 Shot on a Sony a7ii …

Parked for the winter

by

I parked the van in my garage last night and it barely fit. Lucky for me the previous owner of my house left these sandbags just sitting by the garage, so I put them in the back of the van and had my kids jump in there too. That extra weight was just enough too …

Juneau Eating Snow

by

The snow has been coming and going recently in Kelowna. Yesterday when I was shovelling the driveway I couldn’t help but notice Juneau having a ball in the snow. I figured this would be a good opportunity to take some pictures of her. When I got back out with my camera she would dig her …

What’s Your Name?

by

I shoot real estate photos from time to time and when I was living in Calgary I shot a lot of real estate photos. As you can image I have met my fair share of random cats and dogs. This cat in particular was quite striking to me and I couldn’t help but shoot a …

Sunset Light

by

Sunset light is so wonderful. I could have pointed my camera in just about any direction on this day and got a good picture. I decided to lay in the leaves and shoot something from the ground. I dont often shoot so low, but I think the leaves in the foreground add something nice to …

Okanagan Lake Sunset

by

I took a look out my front window the other evening and it looked like the sunset might be good. Since I live 3 and half blocks from the beach I though it couldn’t hurt to zip down by the water and see if I could get any good pictures. I was under exposing for …
