I was out shooting some street photography this weekend in Calgary. I saw this guy on a street corner and couldn’t help but notice his mannequin head sticking out of his shopping cart haha. I imagine him walking around talking to this head, but I don’t know, I could be way off! All’s I know, …

Ice Skating Downtown
This is the Olympic Plaza ice skating rink downtown in Calgary. I took this around 1pm on Monday and as you can see there wasn’t a lot of people there. This might be an ideal time to do some skating if you’re looking to avoid crowds :). It’s a nice setting right downtown and the …
A Couple Seattle Mariners
Some of you may recall a photo I shot of Cammy this summer with this hat and shirt. This is the same shoot! I just hopped in on a picture with him and this was it :). Camera: Canon 6D & 135L ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/200th – ISO 100 1 580EX ii Speedlite shot …
The Train Over 10th
I was looking for a picture in my files this weekend and came across this picture. I totally forgot I even took it and can’t believe I didn’t rush to share it straight away, because I rather like this shot. It’s a nice view down 10th Street and it’s kind of cool with the train going …
Nikon 50mm 1.8 vs 1.4 Video
I made this video yesterday that gives my thoughts on the Nikon 50mm 1.8D vs 1.4D. The test shots were very un-scientific. All pictures were taken hand-held, one after the other and the lighting in the room did not change. This video was shot with a Canon T3i & 28mm 1.8 and a 5D mark iii …
Joshua Coming Around
When I was trying to get a picture of my cat the other day, my son Joshua wanted me to take his picture. This request was quite shocking to me, because for the most part Joshua doesn’t like having his picture taken. I think I might have ruined it for him when he was small, …
Uninterested Cat
The night before last I tried getting a picture of my other cat, but he wasn’t having any of it! I couldn’t even get the other cat to look in my general direction haha. So last night I decided to give it another go with my other cat “Panda Bear”. This guy wasn’t exactly into …
Cold Calgary Night
This shot has a super urban feel to me and makes Calgary look very dense. I shot the photo on a cold winter night and I think you can tell. Well you can’t tell like it was Buffalo NY, but trust me, it was cold! haha. Camera: Sony NEX-7 & 55mm 1.8 Zeiss ~ Settings: …
The Skipping Stone Bridge
I have been meaning to make my way down to the new Skipping Stone Bridge for some night shots for a while now and finally made it out last night. Although you can’t tell from this picture, I can assure you it was freezing out! Even with the cold, I am glad I went out. The …
Modern Lights
I like when modern buildings have these kind of cool lights on them. Makes the city look futuristic 🙂 Camera: Canon 6D & 15mm 2.8 Fisheye ~ Settings: f/22 – 30 seconds – ISO 200 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Snowboarding Brothers
Sorry I haven’t been posting much these days. I recently bought a new place and just moved. So the last week has been nothing but packing and then unpacking! Yesterday I found a little time to have some fun in the front yard with my 2 boys to do some snowboarding on a the very …
This Girl Again
One day when I was shooting photos on the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary, I noticed a girl running whom I had taken a picture of not once, but twice before up the hill at Crescent road! haha. By the time I realized who she was, I had missed my opportunity for a front shot, so …
Princes Island Bridge
Just a random shot I took the other day while I was walking across the Princes Island Bridge here in Calgary. It’s kind of a wired bridge because you can feel it kind of bouncing a little bit when your standing on it. In any case, I like the view from this bridge :). Camera: Sony …
