Camera: Canon 16-35L @ 35mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1.3 seconds – ISO 800 Yesterday when I was on my way home I noticed the sky looked a little scattered. I thought it was worth stopping to grab a quick picture, so I did just that. I didn’t feel like dragging out my tripod and setting …

Ice Skating in The City
Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L @ 17mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/10th – ISO 2500 Last week I went down to the Olympic Plaza ice skating rink downtown here in Calgary. It was a little chilly out and my hands got rather cold while I was shooting these photos. I had gloves with me, but I …
Sunset City
Camera: Nikon D300s & 100mm f/2.8 AIS ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/250th – ISO 200 Last weekend I was at my local Starbucks enjoying a coffee and testing out a new photo editing app (Pixelmator, verdict is still out). Once my editing time was up / coffee was done, I started walking home. When I got to …
Ski Hill Selfie
I was up at the ski hill today and snapped this quick selfie with my phone (iPhone 4s). I thought the picture looked kind of cool, so I thought I’d share it here :). I did a quick edit with the Snapseed app on the picture. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Jumping Around
I have been spending a lot of time up at the ski hill these days (snowboarding). While I was up there on Christmas eve day I set my self up by a kicker and shot some photos of people jumping. I shot all photos with a Canon 5D mark iii & 24-105mm f/4 IS. I shot in …
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 …
Coffee Drinking Statue
I was out shooting photos downtown the other day when I noticed this statue, who is clearly in a hurry had a Tim Hortons coffee in his hand! lol. I found this rather amusing and thought you might too :). Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 89mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/640 – ISO …
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 …
Another Skyline
Just another Calgary skyline shot here for ya on a Monday :). I think this picture will be better once some more of those buildings on the left are done. This one is better viewed in a larger size. If you’d like to see it larger you can find it big on my Facebook page …
Through The Skylight
I shot this photo over the weekend on a cloudy day. I am sure it would be much better if it was nice day, because the contrast of the blue sky would be great. I might just have to go back another time. Actually, maybe a twilight shot would be even better! We’ll see :). Camera: …
Flying Under Moonlight
Yesterday evening I caught this WestJet flight flying under the moonlight. I waited around trying to get another shot of a jet flying right in front of the moon. I came close as you can see in the 2nd picture, however the shot was not meant to be at that moment. Next time! ;). Both photos …
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 …
