Warm Calgary

Winter is in full effect around Calgary these days and it makes it hard for me to want to get out there haha. So I am throwing it back to a time when I would walk outside in a T-shirt and be happy about it ;). I’ll make it out there for some winter shots …

Fall Flare

Camera: 5D mark ii & 50mm 1.8 mark i ~ Settings: 1/60th – f/18 – ISO 800 I’m sure it still looks like this in some places in the good ol US of A, but not here in Calgary, Canada haha. I took this picture a couple of months ago. Today I woke up to …

Alley Reflection

Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50L ~ Settings: 1/125 – f/16 – ISO 2500 Alley action from downtown Calgary, Canada. I don’t shoot a lot of alley photos, but I was just walking down this one and noticed the reflection in the water. A few seconds after I noticed the reflection, I noticed that …

Skyline Camera Phone

I shot a photo of the Calgary skyline this summer from the East Village. While I was there I took my phone out shoot a Instagram picture. While taking that picture if thought a picture of my phone taking that picture might be cool haha. I’m a big fan of the BOKEH!, so I rather like …

Canon 28mm f/1.8

I picked up a new lens recently that I had been thinking about getting for quite sometime. I was torn between the Canon 28mm f/1.8 & the Sigma version. I decided to go with the Canon version because of the size and weight (smaller & lighter). The lens performs decent wide open as you can …

Man In The Fisheye Mirror

I was shooting a house yesterday and I they had these cool mirror’s in the basement. So I quickly grabbed a quick picture of my self in one of them haha. Fun times going down in the real estate photography business ;). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L ~ Settings: 2 seconds – f/14 …

Vancouver, BC Canada

I was looking at some old pictures on my external hard drive and came across this one. It’s an old picture of Vancouver that I took back in 2009. Pictures like this make me miss Vancouver and the ocean. I always say that if Calgary was in the Pacific North West it would be awesome! I …

New Car!

I picked up a new car yesterday! 2014 BMW X3! Oh man, what an upgrade from my old 2011 BMW X3 haha ;). At first I was going to go to a parking garage with a glass building behind it and shoot off camera flash, but I was in this neighbourhood so I thought I’d …

An Evening Bike Ride

Last night after dinner my wife and I decided to take our children on a little bike ride (them biking & us walking) to the park. Since it was getting dark when we left and was only going to get darker I decided to use my 50mm f/1.2. Here are a few of the pictures …

City Park View

I shot this picture from my favourite park in the city. It’s called Princes Island Park and it is right downtown in Calgary (well uptown really). In the winter time this pond is frozen and lit up for ice skating. I’ll go down there this winter and get some pictures of people skating. The thing …

Big Zoom (Sigma 50-500mm)

Let me start off by saying this is not a full in-depth review of the Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5 -6.3 APO DG OS HSM zoom, but rather a quick look. The other night I was out shooting some skyline shots from a good distance from downtown and I thought this might be a good opportunity to …

A Little Waterfall Action

Yesterday a friend of mine and I went on a little outing to try to get some landscape photos. We were planning to make our way a little closer to the mountains for a sunset, but the clouds were not co-operating and the sun ended up behind the clouds before we could make it to …
