Studio Time with Mr. Blackman

A couple of days ago I was sitting in my office editing photos when I got a text message that read “Hey Rob, you still in Calgary?” I quickly replied with a “Yes” and “Who is this?” haha. To my delighted surprise it was my old buddy from Toronto Damian aka Mr. Blackman. Damian said …

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 …

When A Bird Hits Your Window

Like I said last week, I’m mot much of a bird photographer. However when a bird comes flying into your living room window full speed ahead, you get your bird photographer hat on in a hurry! As was the case of this little guy. I was just changing the lens on my camera to go …

Go Flames!

This morning my 2 best buddies and I decided a little trip to the park was in order. The day was completely overcast in the morning and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a couple of pictures of us together with out having to worry about lighting. Since the NHL season …

Skyline View Walk

The other day went for a walk in Calgary‘s biggest inner city park, Nose Hill Park. I was up there shooting some photos of the mountains to the west. While I was shooting photos this nice lady walked by with her dog. By the time I decided to shoot a quick photo of her and …

Extra Random

This picture is extra random because this Metro Newspaper box has no business sitting there! In hindsight I should have shot a really wide-angle of this photo to show exactly where it is, but since I didn’t I’ll just tell you. It’s sitting by the bench on a baseball field! haha. The first time I …

Calgary Night Skyline

I went out to shoot a few photos last night and got some skyline shots. I shot these photos from Crescent Road in Crescent Heights. That street is probably my favourite street in city. The view you get while driving or walking on Crescent Road is amazing the whole way. If your ever in Calgary a …

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 …

Snow on the Rockies

This morning on my drive to work I was surprised to see the Rocky mountains covered in snow! Usually this would make me cringe at the thought of winter around the corner, but not this year. This year I plan to through my self right back into snowboarding like crazy! So I am welcoming the …

These Ironmen

I was hanging out with my 2 little buddies today and it’s been raining out, so we were stuck inside. At first I was just taking pictures of these Ironman masks, then I thought I’d get these guys to help me out for a minute and put them on for me. I’m glad I did, …

JUMP!

Today felt like a good day to shoot a little off camera flash. My son was outside playing with some of his friends so I decided to get them to do some jumps for me :). I set up 3 flashes, one 580EX ii as my main, a 550EX on the side and another 550EX …

Let’s Get Personal

Camera: Samsung NX100 with Canon FD 50mm 1.4 – Setting: 1/800th // f1.4 // ISO 100 I suppose this will be a rather personal post, as there is really no other reason I could think to post this picture haha. This is the coffee cup I start almost all of my mornings with. It’s a …
