Ski Hill Selfie

I was up at the ski hill today and snapped this quick selfie with my phone (iPhone 4s). I thought the picture looked kind of cool, so I thought I’d share it here :). I did a quick edit with the Snapseed app on the picture. Thanks for stopping by, Rob    

Jumping Around

I have been spending a lot of time up at the ski hill these days (snowboarding). While I was up there on Christmas eve day I set my self up by a kicker and shot some photos of people jumping. I shot all photos with a Canon 5D mark iii & 24-105mm f/4 IS. I shot in …

Snow Rainbow

Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50mm 1.4 ~ Settings: f/20 – 1/160th – ISO 200 I’m sure there must be a scientific name for this snowy weather phenomenon, but I don’t know it, so I’m going with “snow rainbow” haha. I never really seen anything like it before. There was a bunch of tiny …

Summer Never Seen Again

I took this picture last summer at this little block party we had in my neighbourhood. This girl lived 2 doors down from me and was one of the cooler neighbours we had, however we have since moved around the corner and I heard that she left the neighbourhood and headed to the suburbs! So as …

Rocky Mist

Yesterday afternoon I was driving in the western part of the city when I saw a nice light over the mountain, even thought there was loads of clouds and a bit of misty snow. I quickly (but safely) found a half decent vantage point to get a shot off. I shot a high ISO on …

Coffee Drinking Statue

I was out shooting photos downtown the other day when I noticed this statue, who is clearly in a hurry had a Tim Hortons coffee in his hand! lol. I found this rather amusing and thought you might too :). Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 89mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/640 – ISO …

Flames vs Rangers

Last night I went to the hockey game (as I often do). The Calgary Flames were hosting the New York Rangers and this time I decided I’d try to bring a camera along. I didn’t want to bring a proper DSLR with a big white lens that screams “HEY LOOK AT ME! I’M TAKING PICTURES!” lol. …

Urban Geese

This is a photo from this past summer. I was making my way over the Centre Street Bridge to get some bridge shots. As I was getting a little closer to the water I noticed these two geese hanging out by the river. I slowly made my way over to them and tried not to make any …

Another Skyline

Just another Calgary skyline shot here for ya on a Monday :). I think this picture will be better once some more of those buildings on the left are done. This one is better viewed in a larger size. If you’d like to see it larger you can find it big on my Facebook page …

Not Waiting For A Train

Yesterday evening I was out running an errand and naturally, I had my camera with me. So before I headed home I decided to drop in on a subway station and see if I could get a picture. This lady was waiting for the train on the closest side to the escalator I came down. I waited …

Joshua’s Christmas Concert

Last night my 5 year old son Joshua had his school (Stanley Jones Elementary) Christmas Concert. The lighting wasn’t exactly ideal, but the cuteness made up for it! :). Joshua is the taller boy on the right hand side with the Calgary Flames tie on. All except the last shot were taken with a 5D mark …

Through The Skylight

I shot this photo over the weekend on a  cloudy day. I am sure it would be much better if it was nice day, because the contrast of the blue sky would be great. I might just have to go back another time. Actually, maybe a twilight shot would be even better! We’ll see :). Camera: …

Someone To Talk To

I was out shooting some street photography this weekend in Calgary. I saw this guy on a street corner and couldn’t help but notice his mannequin head sticking out of his shopping cart haha. I imagine him walking around talking to this head, but I don’t know, I could be way off! All’s I know, …
