Evening Stroll

Just barely caught these two walking by. I wanted to get the front of them, but I could get my settings were I needed them to be in time. I shot this with my awesome 1970’s Canon FD 50mm f/1.2 wide open. I took 2 shots, the first one was a little out of focus …

Shiny Night

These buildings are super shiny! The reflections in these buildings windows gives a pretty cool effect. This part of town feels very modern and I love looking at the view with in the reflections. Pretty cool buildings on a pretty cool block! . . . This picture actually looks better in a larger size. I’d …

Sony a7ii & Canon 50mm 1.2

I recently got a grip for my Sony a7ii. The grip is an aftermarket brand called Vello. The grip makes holding onto this camera feel way better and I am sure because of it I will reach for this camera more often than I do. The lens I have on the camera is a Canon …

City School

I love old schools like the one in this picture. It is a perfect example of what comes to my mind when I think of a big old elementary school. The location of this school is just wonderful. Having the Portland skyline as a backdrop to this beautiful old building makes for good picture. If …

Skaters

These 3 boys have been skateboarding around together for the past couple of years. This year they have been on their boards more than ever. I have found myself skating around the neighbourhood with them and remembering my own childhood of skateboarding. I thought I better get a picture of the original squad together before they …

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 …

A Burning Tower

I shot this photo back in February and kind of forgot about it. I was driving home one day and noticed the Calgary tower was lit up, so I made a stop off at Tom Campbell’s hill and shot this. I used a Sony a7ii with a Canon FD 80-200mm f4 lens. Amazingly, I shot …

Bench with a View

This guy’s looking back at my last post like, “Damn, wish I was there right about now!” 😅 I was shooting this location with a friend of mine and I got him to hop on the bench and take a look around for me. This location as such a great view, but I though the picture would …

Old Camera Park

Even in the middle of winter, Princes Island Park has people buzzing around. I shot this photo on my way home yesterday evening just as the sun started to set. I shot this photo with Nikon D2Xs & a 50mm 1.8G. Even though the D2Xs is an older camera now, it still performs wonderfully and is …

A Friends Camera

I was out shooting the skyline with a friend of mine over the weekend when this idea popped into my head. At first I shot this photo at f4 and slowly made my way to f14. At f4 you couldn’t tell what was in front of the camera, but here in this shot I think …

Night of Mountains

These mountains kind of came out of nowhere for me. At the time, I was just trying to get some shots of downtown. After I had all the shots I wanted I decided to point my camera in another direction just to see what I might get. To my surprise the mountains were clearly visible …
