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 …
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: …
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 …
Freak Snow
This picture is from back in September! We had a freak snow storm here in Calgary this year and this guy did not seem to stoked to be walking around in it haha. I could tell he was a nice relaxed kind of guy though, because I had to get extremely close to him to …
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 …
Down Centre Street
Here’s a picture from when you could walk outside with comfortable clothes on! haha. This is the view looking south down across the Centre Street Bridge here in Calgary. I don’t post vertical pictures very often, so I’m not sure about what size I should post them at. Let me know if this is to …
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 …
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 …
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
