This big Great Horned Owl was hanging out in a tree in front of my house last month! He was sleeping there for a few hours and after a while this Magpie bird came over and started hanging out with it haha. Pretty cool thing to see out your bedroom window 🙂 Click photos to …

Silver Springs Wedding: Ashley & Dustin
The leaves and grass got green just in time for this wedding. The sun also came out right when it needed too! Sure the harsh light provides its own problems for taking pictures, but the ambiance and over all feeling the emerging afternoon sun brought with it was well wroth the trade off. This was …
Apartment with a View
I shot this photo on Saturday night. At first I thought I was going to shoot at a locationmuch farther from the city, but by the time my friend who was going me showed up at my house we didn’t have enough time to get any farther out of the town. Since I only brought this …
Doggie from a Walk
On Sunday I went to this cool Instagram meet up put on by @YYCinstameets. Everyone met up by the store down the street from my house and then we all went on a photo walk around my neighbourhood. It was pretty cool! This cute little doggy came along for the trip and I snapped this …
Canon vs Sony 70-200mm
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 …
Twin Sheds
I was driving in the country one day when I zipped by these random sheds in this field. I kept on driving a little ways when I decided it might make a good picture. A quick stop and U-turn later I was walking through these strange bushes trying not get my shoes dirty haha. The …
The Host
A couple of weeks ago I went to a BBQ at a friends place down the street. This young lady was our gracious host :). I didn’t take too many pictures, because I figured I’d better talk to people instead of being “camera guy” the whole time haha. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
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 …
A Friendly Walk
I shot this photo when I was out at a horse show here in Calgary not to long ago. This shot was rather random as I was just walking by and noticed this girl walking with her horse and snapped a quick one :). Canon T3i & 70-300mm DO IS @200mm ~ f/5.6 – 1/400th …
Horse Jumping at Spruce Meadows
On Saturday afternoon a friend of mine and I went to check out the horse jumping show at Spruce Meadows here in Calgary. The show was being televised live on CBC television. We got there a bit late and were only around to see a small number of riders, but it was a really fun …
Big & Small
I was kicking around a park in my neighbourhood today with my little buddies and Cammy here decided he needed to take a little walk down these stairs. Some how I like pictures with big staircases in them so I quickly snapped a couple shots :).  I couldn’t decide what I liked better, the picture of …
Olympic Flame
When Canada wins a gold medal in the Olympics, Calgary lights up its Olympic flame for a short period (an hour or so I believe). The day before I shot these I saw the flame on from my bedroom window and thought I’d go out and shoot some photos that night. However after making plans …
