I was up at the ski hill today and snapped this quick selfie with my phone (iPhone 4s). I thought the picture looked kind of cool, so I thought I’d share it here :). I did a quick edit with the Snapseed app on the picture. Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Jumping Around
I have been spending a lot of time up at the ski hill these days (snowboarding). While I was up there on Christmas eve day I set my self up by a kicker and shot some photos of people jumping. I shot all photos with a Canon 5D mark iii & 24-105mm f/4 IS. I shot in …
Snow Rainbow
Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 50mm 1.4 ~ Settings: f/20 – 1/160th – ISO 200 I’m sure there must be a scientific name for this snowy weather phenomenon, but I don’t know it, so I’m going with “snow rainbow” haha. I never really seen anything like it before. There was a bunch of tiny …
Rocky Mist
Yesterday afternoon I was driving in the western part of the city when I saw a nice light over the mountain, even thought there was loads of clouds and a bit of misty snow. I quickly (but safely) found a half decent vantage point to get a shot off. I shot a high ISO on …
Coffee Drinking Statue
I was out shooting photos downtown the other day when I noticed this statue, who is clearly in a hurry had a Tim Hortons coffee in his hand! lol. I found this rather amusing and thought you might too :). Camera: Canon 6D & 70-200mm f4 IS @ 89mm ~ Settings: f/4 – 1/640 – ISO …
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 …
Someone To Talk To
I was out shooting some street photography this weekend in Calgary. I saw this guy on a street corner and couldn’t help but notice his mannequin head sticking out of his shopping cart haha. I imagine him walking around talking to this head, but I don’t know, I could be way off! All’s I know, …
Ice Skating Downtown
This is the Olympic Plaza ice skating rink downtown in Calgary. I took this around 1pm on Monday and as you can see there wasn’t a lot of people there. This might be an ideal time to do some skating if you’re looking to avoid crowds :). It’s a nice setting right downtown and the …
Cold Calgary Night
This shot has a super urban feel to me and makes Calgary look very dense. I shot the photo on a cold winter night and I think you can tell. Well you can’t tell like it was Buffalo NY, but trust me, it was cold! haha. Camera: Sony NEX-7 & 55mm 1.8 Zeiss ~ Settings: …
The Skipping Stone Bridge
I have been meaning to make my way down to the new Skipping Stone Bridge for some night shots for a while now and finally made it out last night. Although you can’t tell from this picture, I can assure you it was freezing out! Even with the cold, I am glad I went out. The …
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 …
Snowboarding Brothers
Sorry I haven’t been posting much these days. I recently bought a new place and just moved. So the last week has been nothing but packing and then unpacking! Yesterday I found a little time to have some fun in the front yard with my 2 boys to do some snowboarding on a the very …
Winter or Summer ?
The weather has gone completely INSANE in Calgary the last few days. I have been waking up to WINTER! Yet it is still 100% summer! I have experienced the most awful weather since moving here haha, but I have yet to snap and pack my bags to head back to the coast. I’m sure that …
