A Walk in Chinatown

I was in Chinatown the other day here in Calgary and I took a few street shots. I decided to shoot 35mm just to mix things up a little and force my self to get a little closer to my subjects. I definitely prefer 50 over 30, but it’s fun to get a little closer …

Madison

I noticed I haven’t posted very many people pictures on here that last little while, so I though I’d post this picture I took of Madison in the fall. This picture was part of my People of Calgary Project and was posted there. I figured since not everyone that comes here reads that blog it …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Into The Light

I don’t often take pictures of the back of people, but some how I thought in the particular moment it fit. Got a sharp point of interest, a nice bit of rim light from the light pointing our way and a row bokeh balls to finish off the frame. Not bad ;). Camera: Canon 5D …

Happy Lady

Here’s another street shot of a very friendly old lady that was walking by me one day. She was walking down the street really slowly and I snapped a quick picture of her walking by, when she noticed I took her picture she gave me a big smile, so I quickly said “One more!” She gave …

Sheep Dogs & Strangers in Banff

The other weekend a friend of mine and I headed out to Banff to shoot some photos. It just so happens that there was some type of Olympic block party going on the same weekend! Good luck for us right :). We ripped around Banff shooting photos and when the Sheep Dogs went on we …

The Streets Are Watching

Last weekend and friend of mine and I went to Banff Alberta, Canada to shoot some photos. There was a block party going on and we were burning around there taking pictures. I did a lot of street photography that day and this is my favourite picture from the day. Camera: Canon 5D mark iii …

It’s All About The Bokeh!

Sometimes a picture is just all about the bokeh! Right after I took this picture a young security guard girl came over and told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures in the building unless I had written consent from the buildings management. I told her it wasn’t a problem and asked her if I …
