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 …

My Random Car

This is just a random snapshot I took of my car one evening when I was out for a skyline shot. It is a rather noisy picture, so I figured it would be salvageable in black and white :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L @35 ~ Settings: 1/40th – f/5.6 ISO 4000 Thanks …

Into The Light

I don’t often take pictures of the back of people, but some how I thought in the particular moment it fit. Got a sharp point of interest, a nice bit of rim light from the light pointing our way and a row bokeh balls to finish off the frame. Not bad ;). Camera: Canon 5D …

Chilly Skyline

I took this yesterday around 5pm and all though it looks rather nice out, I can assure you it was very cold! I was only out of my car for about 5 minutes before my hands started shaking! haha. I figured that was my cue to head back to my car :). Camera: Canon 5D …

Under A Bridge

With a scene like this I think most people would think to shoot this photo wide and I understand why, but I thought shooting it with a longer focal length might look good too. I’m happy with how the picture turned out, maybe next time I’ll see what I get with a wide-angle. Camera: Canon …

Happy Lady

Here’s another street shot of a very friendly old lady that was walking by me one day. She was walking down the street really slowly and I snapped a quick picture of her walking by, when she noticed I took her picture she gave me a big smile, so I quickly said “One more!” She gave …

The Look

I was downtown not to long ago and I saw this guy shooting some video of a sign. I walked over and took a picture of him, then he noticed I was beside him pointing a camera at him and when he looked at me he had this hilarious look on his face! LOL. It …

Pipe Smoke’n Old Guy

I was walking down the street and noticed this old guy puff’n on his pipe outside of a bar. I immediately pictured the shot in black and white and thought it might be half decent. So I walked up to him and asked if I could take his picture, he nodded, put his pipe in …

The Streets Are Watching

Last weekend and friend of mine and I went to Banff Alberta, Canada to shoot some photos. There was a block party going on and we were burning around there taking pictures. I did a lot of street photography that day and this is my favourite picture from the day. Camera: Canon 5D mark iii …

Canon A-1

I was bored the other night so I decided to do a little product style photography. This old A-1 is sitting on my desk in my office/basement studio, so I just grabbed it and took this picture. For lighting I had 2 Canon 550EX Speedlites shot through umbrellas and one LED light pointing at the lens …
