007 Cam

by

My son Cameron and I took a little trip up to Edmonton, Alberta this past weekend. It was a rather rainy and foggy day in Edmonton yesterday and it was a little chilly, so we didn’t get out for many pictures. This shot was the last one I took before we hopped in our car …

A Few Cents On The Sign

by

This cool old spot is Browns Tavern in Spokane, Washington. It’s a wonderful little place my wife and I stumbled upon one morning while walking around the historic Browns Addition neighbourhood. While talking to the lovely waitress who was serving us, I mentioned how I liked the sign. To my surprise, she told us the sign …

Pre-Focus Run

by

I like getting pictures of people running from this part of the city. The skyline background just does it for me somehow. On this day I posed a bit of challenge to myself. I wanted to get a shot of someone running, well, , , a woman running, because people like pictures of women running …

The Moon

by

On my way home from a lovely evening spent and at an Italian restaurant downtown last night, I noticed the moon look pretty clear. As soon as I got home I quickly got my gear together and ran back out the door. I think I would have got a better shot if I was about …

Permanent Gaze

by

I hit the streets on Saturday night and found my self at City Hall. I shot a few different photos before I wandered over to this horse statue. I though full body might be cool, but I decided to go for just the head and show more detail. Another plus for getting in closer is …

Rick with a Canon FD 85mm

by

This is Rick and he is one of the Realtors I work with. Rick wanted new picture for his blog and I wanted to try shooting headshot with my 1970’s Canon 85mm f/1.8 on a Sony A7ii. Shooting such shallow depth of field with these old manual focus lenses definitely slows things down. Shooting in this …

The Roxy

by

I LOVE old signs and buildings like this! Reminds me of old timey hollywood. This little movie theatre is hidden in a small ski town in British Columba, Canada called Revelstoke. I often pass through Revelstoke on my way to visit family in Vernon, BC. This summer my family and I decided to spend a …

Sony Eye AF on Barb

by

Barb is one of the realtors I work with (shooting real estate) and the other day she mentioned she didn’t like her current picture. I suggested we take a new one, so we decided to grab a quick snap on the balcony of the office building we work in. The sun was shining rather bright …

Canon vs Sony 70-200mm

by

I have been shooting a decent amount with my Sony a7R these days and I have run into some auto focus speed issues along the way. I have found that Sony’s hit rate of moving subjects is noticeably lower than what I have been used to with my Canon gear. This issue rang especially true …

A Beautiful Bridge & Park

by

This is part of Riverfront Park in front of the Monroe Street Bridge in Spokane, Washington. It looks a little hazy because smoke from some forest fires was just starting to clear up. I really love old bridges like this and I love this part of the park because there are loads of places to hang out …

Smokey Spokane Night

by

I was in Spokane, Washington a couple of weeks ago and there was loads of forest fires burning in the area. The city was filled with smoke! During the day, the smoke didn’t look all that great in photos. Thankfully the smoke provided an interesting twist to a photo that has been shot tons of …
