New Car!

by

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

by

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

by

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)

by

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

by

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 …

Studio Time with Mr. Blackman

by

A couple of days ago I was sitting in my office editing photos when I got a text message that read “Hey Rob, you still in Calgary?” I quickly replied with a “Yes” and “Who is this?” haha. To my delighted surprise it was my old buddy from Toronto Damian aka Mr. Blackman. Damian said …

These City Boys

by

I was looking for a file that had some wedding photos in it this morning and I came across these pictures from a day we spend downtown. I think it might have been Canada Day. Anyhow, I thought I’d share them here for the heck of it 🙂 All these pictures shot with a Canon 5D …

When A Bird Hits Your Window

by

Like I said last week, I’m mot much of a bird photographer. However when a bird comes flying into your living room window full speed ahead, you get your bird photographer hat on in a hurry! As was the case of this little guy. I was just changing the lens on my camera to go …

Go Flames!

by

This morning my 2 best buddies and I decided a little trip to the park was in order. The day was completely overcast in the morning and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a couple of pictures of us together with out having to worry about lighting. Since the NHL season …

Skyline View Walk

by

The other day went for a walk in Calgary‘s biggest inner city park, Nose Hill Park. I was up there shooting some photos of the mountains to the west. While I was shooting photos this nice lady walked by with her dog. By the time I decided to shoot a quick photo of her and …

Sitting Strange

by

I’m not much of a bird photographer, but I never seen a bird sit like this on a tree before. Yesterday I was shooting some photos of a river and then I heard this woodpecker pecking away at a tree. The woodpecker looked very cool with black and white feathers. At the time I had …

Calgary Night Skyline

by

I went out to shoot a few photos last night and got some skyline shots. I shot these photos from Crescent Road in Crescent Heights. That street is probably my favourite street in city. The view you get while driving or walking on Crescent Road is amazing the whole way. If your ever in Calgary a …
