The weather has gone completely INSANE in Calgary the last few days. I have been waking up to WINTER! Yet it is still 100% summer! I have experienced the most awful weather since moving here haha, but I have yet to snap and pack my bags to head back to the coast. I’m sure that …

Old Camera & Older Lens
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter than you might already know I got my hands on an old Nikon D70 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens for $75! I have been playing around with it lately just for fun and have gotten some good pictures with it. I put my old 1970’s 50mm 1.4 …
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 …
Train Into The City
I shot this photo last night from SAIT (a local college). I got there a bit early and tried a few shots while it was lighter out, but I knew waiting till the sun when down more would give a much better effect. Once the sun went down more I waited for a train to go …
Happy Cammy
Yesterday I decided it was a good day to take a picture of my younger son Cammy. He is always a good sport when it comes to getting his picture taken, so this shot didn’t take to long :). The picture on the right just shows the set up I used for this photo. I …
Peace on the Peace Bridge
If you like a futuristic bridge, then the Peace Bridge here in Calgary, Canada is the one for you! I shot these photos with a fisheye lens. When I was getting the one of the guy taking a picture of the girl tossing up the “Peace” sign, I almost ran right into them because I …
People On Their Way Home
Yesterday afternoon I was out getting some stock video shots and it started to lightly rain, so I packed up and started heading home. On my way to my car the rain kind of stopped, so I decided to shoot a few photos of people on their way home from work. These pictures were taken …
Crosswords While Walking
I was walking across the Centre Street Bridge here in Calgary the other day and I saw this guy walking up the bridge doing a crossword puzzle while walking! I put my camera up to my face and kept walking in his direction waiting for him to put his face up to see where he …
Self Portrait Time
I shot this self portrait a few weeks ago for a project I was working that didn’t amount too much. Since I took the picture I thought I’d share it here :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 35L ~ Settings f/1.4 – 1/8000th – ISO 100 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Around The Bridge Shooting Mobile
Last week I decided to dig out my Sony QX100 and snap a couple of photos with it when I was walking downtown one day. In the first shot, I was crouching on the grassy hill by the street waiting for a biker to come by, when this guy came zooming I got the shot …
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 …
