The Bow at Night

by

This shot is of the Bow River that runs through Calgary at night. The bridge in the photo is the colour purple because I shot this photo from anther bridge that nights up at night and was lit purple on this particular night. Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L @25mm ~ Settings: 30 seconds – f/18 …

Calgary By The River

by

The river that runs through Calgary is rather low now and there was a massive area for me to walk out on to get this picture. It was just me and a couple Canadian Geese hanging out shooting photos :). I actually got a picture with those guys in it, but I’ll post that one another day …

Drunk Girl Shakes Up My Pic

by

Last night I decided to go out and get some night shots of this bridge that is near my house. As I arrived I noticed a few sketchy looking people milling about, but they ended up going on their way, so I set up my tripod and camera. I set my camera to a 30 …

Skateboard Selfie!

by

I’m taking it back to the old school here with this dorky skateboarding self-portrait I shot yesterday haha. I had 2 flashes set up for this shot. I had one 580ex ii on camera left about the hight of the top stair pointing up and another on camera right about shoulder height. I trigged the camera with …

Calgary North & The Rockies

by

I shot this photo a couple of days ago when I was out getting a skyline shot. I had been searching for a vantage point from the east side of town looking west and found a 6 or 7 story high parking garage. My first attempt at getting in the garage was unsuccessful, as the stairwell …

Flying High in Calgary

by

Yesterday afternoon I was out flying my drone at Princes Island Park in Calgary. Snapped this shot of the city from high above a little pond that goes around the park. (click picture to view larger & sharper) Shot with an IDJ Phantom 2 drone. Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Friendly Squirrels

by

There are some baby squirrels that live a tree in front of our house and they are super friendly. The other day we noticed our neighbour feeding the babies by hand, so my son Joshua went to go check it out. Amazingly the squirrels were extremely friendly and had no problem eating right out of …

Ridiculously Wide!

by

I rarely shoot this wide because it looks like all the buildings are falling into each other haha. However, if you want all the buildings in one shot so close, there isn’t much choice. I shot this one in Chinatown in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L @16mm ~ Settings: 1/160th …

A Drivers City

by

In Calgary you must have car! I think this picture kind of shows that :). I had wanted to take this picture for well over a year now. I used to drive past here over one of those overpasses everyday and I would always want to get this picture, but it wasn’t easy. There is …

More Of This Guy

by

Another self portrait here :). This time I decided I’d try a little harder lighting, so I used a silver bounce umbrella to camera left with a Canon 580EX ii Speedlite shooting into it. I also had a silver reflector sitting in front of me on a slight angle facing myself. I usually prefer to …

A Walk in Chinatown

by

I was in Chinatown the other day here in Calgary and I took a few street shots. I decided to shoot 35mm just to mix things up a little and force my self to get a little closer to my subjects. I definitely prefer 50 over 30, but it’s fun to get a little closer …

Big & Small

by

I was kicking around a park in my neighbourhood today with my little buddies and Cammy here decided he needed to take a little walk down these stairs. Some how I like pictures with big staircases in them so I quickly snapped a couple shots :).  I couldn’t decide what I liked better, the picture of …
