Early Winter

Winter has hit a little early in Calgary this year! I decided to head out and take a look around the city last night and see how it looked. It was pretty foggy out and I think the fog really added something nice to the picture. It looks quiet to me, and it was. I guess …

Shiny & New

We got a shiny new building (Brookfield Place) going up in Calgary and it’s almost done! The building is super bright right now compared to all the others. I am sure it won’t stay THAT bright, but I hope it still keeps some of that sparkly shine to it. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Saddledome

Well it’s that time of year again that all the hockey fans have been waiting for! The NHL preseason has started the real games are just around the corner. I am sure there are many fun nights in the near future for me in this building. For the locals, I’m still peeved that Hartley‘s gone, but what are …

Secluded Peace

Taking pictures of a city a night has a special kind of magic to it. I find this especially true when you are in a dark and secluded place like I was for this shot. My location was completely quiet and I was very much alone. Peaceful, relaxing and exciting all at the same time. I …

Calgary Shine

We got some shiny buildings over here in Calgary. I like taking pictures from this side of town because when the sun sets you get this beautiful light hitting the buildings. I also timed out this shot so I would have lights from the cars and the train going by at the same time. I …

Summer City

Summer time in the city is always the best! This is especially true for Calgary. The air is warm and the city is alive, a perfect set up for good picture taking. I shot this one on Wednesday night from Scotsman Hill. I used my Sony a7ii and Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 micro manual focus lens. …

Bull City

I don’t have any idea what’s up with this bull statue, but I think it looks pretty cool in this setting. Another handheld shot with the Sony a7ii. For the lens, I was using the Sony fisheye converter on the 16mm f/2.8. Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Buildings PDX

Random buildings in Portland, Oregon. I like pictures where the entire frame is filled with buildings. This one would have been better if there was a little wind to get that flag flying, oh well I still like the picture. 🙂

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 …

Cold Calgary Street

I shot this one last night from the top of a parking garage. I just set my camera the corner of ledge on a 2 second timer and let it go. It was pretty cold last night, so I didn’t spend too much time up there. It wasn’t long after I shot this photo that …

City Sculpture

Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye ~ Settings: f/16 – 1/80th – ISO 640 Calgary spends a lot of money on public art and this particular piece is one of my favourite. I’m not really sure what it’s suppose to be (if anything), but I like it :). Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Beauty of a Bank

Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L at 27mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/400th – ISO 400 I really love old buildings like this. There are not many of these beauties left in Alberta. I’m not a proper Albertan, so I’m not sure what the story is with all the old buildings. I am assuming they just …

Calgary 1st

Camera: Nikon D300s & 70-210mm f/4-5.6D at 210mm ~ Settings: f/9 – 1/250th – ISO 800 I shot this photos the other day on my way home from work. It is a look down 1st Street SW downtown in Calgary. These types of pictures are always fun for me, because I love the city and …
