Star Light in The Store

I went out to shoot some photos last night with just a 50mm f/1.4. I honestly had no idea of what kind of picture I was going take, but I knew it was going to be wide open (this is when the lenses aperture is at it’s wides and letting in the most light). I …

Late Night in the Park

I pushed myself out the door last night to go shoot some photos. I could see the leaves on the trees in front of my house were quite still, so I knew there wasn’t any wind. I figured it would be a good night to go shoot a photo by the lake. I had another …

Bench with a View

I was walking through City Park as one does in Kelowna. It’s a nice view of the city on the north side of the park. There are these benches a long the promenade and people are always there enjoying the view. This picture is super random as I could have shot any one of the …

A night for pictures

I went out to shoot some photos twice yesterday. The first trip I went out on I got absolutely nothing! Thankfully my son needed to be picked up downtown so I took my camera a long and went and shot a few more photos. I didn’t get much when it was time to go, but …

Rickshaw Paradice

I made my way downtown last night to see what was happening. There was a lot going on, but these rickshaws were putting on quite the show. These guys just take people for a ride and jump around and spin. The people in the carts seem to be having the time of their life and …

Cute Sign

I was walking down this weird street in Kelowna the other night looking for a picture when I noticed this cute snail sign. I kinda had to climb on this little fence to get a proper shot of it. I was shooting with my Leica M8 with a 50mm f2 lens which is manual focus, …

Still Alive

Well the return to this blog has been on my mind for a while. When winter hit I kinda just put my camera down and then had a hard time getting back into the swing of things in the spring. I’ve been shooting photos, not as much as I used to but I have been …

Just a bit of Sunset

The sunsets are not always amazing, but they are always beautiful, well to me at least. I dunno why, but sunsets over a city just do it for me. I like big cities and big city views. This view has a lot going on because the foreground takes up so much of the space, but …

A Touch of Smoke

I think I shot this photo back in September. There was some fires in Washington state at the time and the smoke was traveling up across the boarder into Vancouver. The smoke didn’t look so great during the day, but as the sun started go down it looked better and better. Thanks for stopping by, …

Nikon F4 Review

I got my hands on a Nikon F4 film camera this fall. I put together a short video review of the camera. I shot all the photos with a 50mm f/1.4D lens and Kodak Ektar 100 35mm film in the camera. I just took a little walk around the Japanese Garden in Kelowna, BC and …

A Look Down Kingsway

I have always appreciated the view of the city while driving down this stretch of Kingsway in East Vancouver. I was driving down the street last weekend I decided to pull over and shoot a photo of the scene. I spent a lot of my childhood running around this part of the city and it …

I See You

Street photography can be so fun! I actually love this picture and the process of shooting the photo was so rewarding. I was driving down the street and saw all the leaves on the ground sounded by the tress with the light hitting the sidewalk just perfectly. So I pulled over and grabbed my camera …

A Beautiful Entry

I was walking down the street this weekend when I noticed this beautiful entry way to this old apartment building. I love old buildings and this entry is just awesome. To me, walking up to this door everyday is much more appealing than walking into a a shiny new building. Anyhow, I live in a …
