Snow on the Rockies

by

This morning on my drive to work I was surprised to see the Rocky mountains covered in snow! Usually this would make me cringe at the thought of winter around the corner, but not this year. This year I plan to through my self right back into snowboarding like crazy! So I am welcoming the …

These Ironmen

by

I was hanging out with my 2 little buddies today and it’s been raining out, so we were stuck inside. At first I was just taking pictures of these Ironman masks, then I thought I’d get these guys to help me out for a minute and put them on for me. I’m glad I did, …

Let’s Get Personal

by

Camera: Samsung NX100 with Canon FD 50mm 1.4 – Setting: 1/800th // f1.4 // ISO 100 I suppose this will be a rather personal post, as there is really no other reason I could think to post this picture haha. This is the coffee cup I start almost all of my mornings with. It’s a …

Random Flares of Light

by

Camera: Canon 5D mark ii & Canon 24-85mm @24mm – Settings: 1/160th // f8 // ISO 100 Sometimes I get board and take random, meaningless pictures that have no business being taken. Like this one here haha. I grabbed my camera to do a couple test shots (with different lens) and the next thing I …

Seattle at Night

by

These are couple shots I took in Seattle that I really like. I shot them last year from Kerry Park in Queen Anne (my favourite neighbourhood). If you ever make your way to Seattle, a stop at Kerry Park is a must. You can see the whole city, ocean and mountains from there. If you have …

Canon 50mm 1.8 vs 1.2

by

This photo was shot with Canon 5D mark ii & Canon 24-85mm @85mm & f/4.5 I did a little comparison between 2 of my favourite lenses, the Canon 50mm 1.8 mark i & the 50L. With a price differnce of at least $1500, the case one can make to buy the 50L can only be …

Confused By This Film

by

I recently got my hands on this old film camera. It is the Pentax Spotmatic F, circa 1973 -76. It’s got a very popular (even today) SMC Takumar 50mm 1.4 lens on it, so I was very excited to use it. When I got home I loaded up some old film I had laying around. …

Self Portrait

by

The mood to shoot a photo struck me this evening, but I had no one to shoot. So I decided I would shoot a self portrait. For this shot I used a Canon 5D mark iii & 50L with one flash set up to camera left. The flash was a Canon 550EX Speedlite shot through …

Canon FD Lens to Samsung NX Converter

by

I have a Samsung NX100 mirrorless camera that takes really great pictures, especially of people. I also own some great old 70’s era Canon FD manual focus lenses from the film days. So I bought a FD to NX converter to use my Canon FD lenses on my NX100. The converter came in the mail today …

Love For The 1st Canon EF 50mm 1.8

by

Let me start off by saying I own and often use the Canon EF 50mm 1.2 L Series lens. However, I still love my 50mm 1.8 mark 1, it’s a wonderful lens and produces amazing images. The glass used in the mark 1 is exactly the same as the cheaper built “Plastic Fantastic” 50mm 1.8 …

My 5D Mark iii & 1D Mark iiN

by

A lot of people get hung up on having the latest and greatest of gear in the hopes that the camera will make them a better photographer. This does have a little bit of truth to it, but as far as camera bodies go, I don’t believe that truth carries much weight. Lenses is a …
