People On The Peace Bridge

On Saturday I decided to head back to the Peace Bridge. This time I wanted to shoot something a little wider, so I brought my 6D & 28mm 1.8. It was a nice day in Calgary, so there was lots of people around and no shortage of photo ops. Here are a few of the …

Nice People Park

The weather has been rather nice in Calgary these days. I stopped by this little park on my way home the other day and snapped this picture. I shot this photos right when I got there, then I when down the hill a little in front of this woman to shoot some photos of the …

From The Tower

Last weekend I went for lunch at the Calgary Tower. It is a rather large tourist attraction with a revolving restaurant and look out deck (think the Space Needle). While I was up there I took this quick snap shot of the neighbouring buildings. If you look at the settings you can tell this shot …

Old Country Bridge

I was out shooting a house in a small town called Cochrane yesterday. The town is about 20 minutes outside of the city and is a nice little community from what I saw. I had shot houses in this community before and I always noticed this old bridge from the top of a large hill as your …

Peace Bridge People

I drive by this bridge pedestrian bridge all the time. Yesterday I decided to make a quick stop on my way home and grab a couple shots. You can’t park on the bridge side, so I parked on the other side and used a 70-200mm lens. It is still rather cold in Calgary, so I …

A Laugh, A Jump & A Bump

It was insanely cold in Calgary yesterday, so rather than brave the Canadian elements I’d opted to make it an In-Day. My 2 sons and I decided shooting some photos in the basement would be a fun time and was it ever! We had some laughs, jumps and only one person got hurt! haha. Both …

Dog Sign

Here’s a random sign regarding dogs by the City of Calgary haha. Rather random, but I like the bokeh :). Camera: Pentax K5 & 50mm SMC Pentax-F 50mm 1.7 ~ Settings: 1/13th – f/1.7 – ISO 800 Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Nice & Frozen Calgary

I went out last night around 6:30pm to take this picture. Little did I know just how cold it was. Once I set up my tripod, I whipped out my phone to check the temperature because I was already freezing. It was a bone chilling – 8 F! (-22C). I was only able to get …

A Wave of Clouds

I thought the clouds looked pretty cool coming over the Rocky Mountains at this moment so I grabbed a picture. The clouds almost look like a wave crashing over the mountains. Pretty cool stuff to see :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 70-300mm DO IS @300mm ~ Settings: 1/400th – f/20 – ISO 1000 …

Urban HDR

I went out to shoot some photos with a buddy of mine on Saturday and we met at a popular Calgary park/lookout. The plan was to meet at this look out and then go to this old closed down factory to shoot some photos and we did just that. I’d say I got one half …

Olympic Flame

When Canada wins a gold medal in the Olympics, Calgary lights up its Olympic flame for a short period (an hour or so I believe). The day before I shot these I saw the flame on from my bedroom window and thought I’d go out and shoot some photos that night. However after making plans …

Run For It!

As you may know from my last post I was out on a little country drive on Friday. While I was driving I noticed a group of Elk & Deers on the side of the road up a hill, however they were to far to get a good picture, since the longest focal length lens …

Winter Trees

I’m not a big landscape guy, but when I was driving through the country yesterday I couldn’t help but notice this row of trees. I thought it looked kind of cool so I pulled over and took a few shots. At first I thought it would have been better if the sky was completely clear …
