Bright Nikes When It’s Cold Out

I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Calgary, Canada it is still winter! Yesterday it was snowing all day and I didn’t dare go outside haha. So I grabbed these shoes and practised some product photography. The set up was 2 Canon 580EX ii Speedlites shot into white …

Street Sculpture

I was driving downtown this morning when I came to a stop at a red light. At first I was just looking at (and kind of admiring) this sculpture. As soon as I realized I had a clear shot of it I rolled down my window and grabbed the camera off my lap and capped …

Dogs Like To Run Too!

I was driving home the other day a long this street that has a great view of the city. While I was driving I noticed this girl running with her dog. The dog caught my eye because he looked so happy to be out running. I kept driving and thought it might make a good …

People On The Peace Bridge

On Saturday I decided to head back to the Peace Bridge. This time I wanted to shoot something a little wider, so I brought my 6D & 28mm 1.8. It was a nice day in Calgary, so there was lots of people around and no shortage of photo ops. Here are a few of the …

Nice People Park

The weather has been rather nice in Calgary these days. I stopped by this little park on my way home the other day and snapped this picture. I shot this photos right when I got there, then I when down the hill a little in front of this woman to shoot some photos of the …

From The Tower

Last weekend I went for lunch at the Calgary Tower. It is a rather large tourist attraction with a revolving restaurant and look out deck (think the Space Needle). While I was up there I took this quick snap shot of the neighbouring buildings. If you look at the settings you can tell this shot …

Peace Bridge People

I drive by this bridge pedestrian bridge all the time. Yesterday I decided to make a quick stop on my way home and grab a couple shots. You can’t park on the bridge side, so I parked on the other side and used a 70-200mm lens. It is still rather cold in Calgary, so I …

Nice & Frozen Calgary

I went out last night around 6:30pm to take this picture. Little did I know just how cold it was. Once I set up my tripod, I whipped out my phone to check the temperature because I was already freezing. It was a bone chilling – 8 F! (-22C). I was only able to get …

Urban HDR

I went out to shoot some photos with a buddy of mine on Saturday and we met at a popular Calgary park/lookout. The plan was to meet at this look out and then go to this old closed down factory to shoot some photos and we did just that. I’d say I got one half …

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 …

My Random Car

This is just a random snapshot I took of my car one evening when I was out for a skyline shot. It is a rather noisy picture, so I figured it would be salvageable in black and white :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L @35 ~ Settings: 1/40th – f/5.6 ISO 4000 Thanks …
