Last thursday night I took a little trip to the mountains in and effort to escape the city lights. With me being an urban type of guy, this is some what out of character for me. However, I do enjoy a bit of fresh air and a starry sky from time to time and I have …

Phantom Over The Zoo
I have been flying around this DJi Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter lately. I took this picture with it flying over the Calgary Zoo. One of the most fun things around flying one of these things is having the ability to shoot photos of views people don’t really see. This picture is a good example of …
Drumheller, Canada Landscape
I shot this photo in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada a few weeks ago. There is some rather interesting looking landscape in that area. As you can see from the photo the weather went a little wonky on me, so I didn’t get a chance to shoot too much while I was there. I think a nice …
Ryan & Kelsey in Banff
All photos shot with a Canon 6D, 50mm 1.4 & 17-40L. Some shots a with a Canon 580EXii Speedlite. So a couple of weeks ago I got a message from my cousin Ryan whom I haven’t heard from in a while. Turns out him and his girlfriend Kelsey were going to be coming through town …
Water Like Ice
Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 138mm ~ Settings: f/25 – 25 seconds – ISO 320 The river water in this picture kind of looks like ice. Well not real ice I guess, because when the river is frozen over it doesn’t look anything like this. Maybe I should get a picture of that …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Gotta Love The Rockies
This shot is clearly not a recent one! haha. This landscape currently sits under heaps of snow. I shot this one this past summer about 30 minutes south of the city of Calgary. I’m not big on landscape, but I could look at this view for quite some time :). Camera: Canon 6D & 24-105mm …
Fall Was Nice
I’d say we had a pretty decent fall here in Calgary this year. The two prior falls I experienced in Calgary were a lot shorter and winter blasted in from out of no where. This year it kind of eased its way into winter and I was able to adapt and mentally prepare for the …
Under the Centre Street Bridge
Sometimes you gotta climb around to the kind of picture you want. Like this one for instance, the tide was low on the river so I decided to climb under the bridge as far over as I could go with out getting wet. I shot a lot of photos this night and this was the very …
Kananaskis Country
I took a drive an hour west of the city this weekend to a little place known as Kananaskis Country. There really isn’t much out there, but the forest, mountains and whatever nature has to offer. Since I live right in the city, from time to time a trip to a remote place like Kananaskis …
The Bow River City
Last night a friend of mine (his blog here) and I went to shoot this photo and we knew a head of time wading through part of the Bow River was going to be part of the plan. On Tuesday evening my son and I had gone to a spot right by here to shoot …
