I have been on a bit of vintage lens kick lately. I recently got my hands on a Canon FD 80-200mm f4 SSC. This is the first test shot I took with the lens on my Sony a7ii. The combination of these old Canon lenses on the a7ii is awesome and super fun to use. …

Not Waiting For A Train
Yesterday evening I was out running an errand and naturally, I had my camera with me. So before I headed home I decided to drop in on a subway station and see if I could get a picture. This lady was waiting for the train on the closest side to the escalator I came down. I waited …
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 …
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 …
3 Buddies in the City
Yesterday my sons and I caught the train from our neighbourhood to one of the neighbouring areas to mix up our urban routine. Naturally I had my camera with me and shot a few photos through out the afternoon. Our original idea was to check out some candy stores I knew of in the area, however …
Sunset Over Calgary
I shot this on Tuesday evening off an overpass near my house. The previous day I was driving over said overpass at the exact same time I took this picture. As I crossed the overpass I saw right away what a great shot it could be, so I noted the time and came back the …
Train Into The City
I shot this photo last night from SAIT (a local college). I got there a bit early and tried a few shots while it was lighter out, but I knew waiting till the sun when down more would give a much better effect. Once the sun went down more I waited for a train to go …
Snow Covered Streets
I walked around the corner on to this street in Calgary and immediately saw the guy snow blowing the train station platform. Naturally with all the snow blowing around my first instinct was to put my lens cap on, and I did. Then I noticed this girl walking up the street too. I quickly removed …
Fun at Canon Image Square
On Saturday a friend of mine and I met up downtown for a street photography mission. We started walking up 8th Avenue shooting random photos of people walking by and interesting things we saw. As we were walking along something very interesting caught my eye, it was the Canon Image Square. I had heard about …
These City Boys
I was looking for a file that had some wedding photos in it this morning and I came across these pictures from a day we spend downtown. I think it might have been Canada Day. Anyhow, I thought I’d share them here for the heck of it 🙂 All these pictures shot with a Canon 5D …
Heritage Park – Calgary
Today some family and I went on a little outing to Heritage Park here in Calgary. They got a bunch of old cars and gas pumps in one building and then in the actual park itself there is an old western style town with a train and a handful of old amusement park rides. I …
Waiting for Trains
I posted one of these pictures on my other blog “The People of Calgary“. I thought these 2 pictures went well together so I thought I’d share them here. I shot these on a little street photography excursion downtown in Calgary a couple weeks ago :). Camera: Canon 7D & 50mm 1.8 mk1 – Setting: …
