Whenever I make my way out to the mountains I am reminded of how beautiful this part of the country is. I shot this on a random little path I followed off the side of a road around Banff Alberta, Canada. These excursions can be a little difficult and cold, but the results are almost …

Cold Calgary Street
I shot this one last night from the top of a parking garage. I just set my camera the corner of ledge on a 2 second timer and let it go. It was pretty cold last night, so I didn’t spend too much time up there. It wasn’t long after I shot this photo that …
Winter Wonderland
Every time I make it out the mountains I fall in love with the landscape. I’m not the biggest winter guy, but it’s pretty hard not to enjoy a view like this. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Night Over Water
Kind of a random shot here. I took this picture one night back in October. The street that runs a long the river is quite nice in the summer, but I have yet to get a good shot of it. Maybe this summer I’ll get a good picture. This long exposure will have to do …
Candid Michelle
This is a candid shot I took of my wife Michelle while we were in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho this past summer. Michelle doesn’t really seem to like any pictures of herself (this one included, but I’m posting it anyhow haha) and isn’t to keen on posing. When I took this shot she was looking at that …
Happy Veterans & Remembrance Day
Massive big up to all the veterans who served their country! Incase someone doesn’t know, it’s Veterans Day today in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada. This field of crosses is set up here in Calgary, Alberta Canada. It’s a nice thing to do to remind everyone of what people gave up in …
A Few Cents On The Sign
This cool old spot is Browns Tavern in Spokane, Washington. It’s a wonderful little place my wife and I stumbled upon one morning while walking around the historic Browns Addition neighbourhood. While talking to the lovely waitress who was serving us, I mentioned how I liked the sign. To my surprise, she told us the sign …
4th Street Lights
The lights that line 4th Street in Calgary are wonderful at night. I wish all the streets looked like this. For this shot I had waited till some cars were waiting for the light to change, that way the street wouldn’t just be streaks of light. When shooting long exposures on the street it’s hard …
Pre-Focus Run
I like getting pictures of people running from this part of the city. The skyline background just does it for me somehow. On this day I posed a bit of challenge to myself. I wanted to get a shot of someone running, well, , , a woman running, because people like pictures of women running …
The Moon
On my way home from a lovely evening spent and at an Italian restaurant downtown last night, I noticed the moon look pretty clear. As soon as I got home I quickly got my gear together and ran back out the door. I think I would have got a better shot if I was about …
Permanent Gaze
I hit the streets on Saturday night and found my self at City Hall. I shot a few different photos before I wandered over to this horse statue. I though full body might be cool, but I decided to go for just the head and show more detail. Another plus for getting in closer is …
Commuting Calgary – Canon FD
I have been on a bit of vintage lens kick lately. I recently got my hands on a Canon FD 80-200mm f4 SSC. This is the first test shot I took with the lens on my Sony a7ii. The combination of these old Canon lenses on the a7ii is awesome and super fun to use. …
Rick with a Canon FD 85mm
This is Rick and he is one of the Realtors I work with. Rick wanted new picture for his blog and I wanted to try shooting headshot with my 1970’s Canon 85mm f/1.8 on a Sony A7ii. Shooting such shallow depth of field with these old manual focus lenses definitely slows things down. Shooting in this …
