I like this photo because it’s an unusual scene in downtown Ganges on a September morning.
It was shot just a stone’s throw from, and a couple of minutes before, the photo of the man reading in the park.

Ready to join the parade.
Apparently the 3rd largest in BC (not sure who does the counting), the Pride Parade draws huge crowds in Ganges.

Reading in the park at the Salt Spring Saturday Market.
There’s not much I don’t like about this candid photo.

At Salt Spring Elementary School, kites were constructed, decorated and enthusiastically enjoyed on a stellar September afternoon. This marks the launch of the 2012/2013 school-wide theme ‘SKY’.

By request, I’m occasionally writing a short note or sometimes just the photo info
Top photo:
Used a 35mm lens, set at ISO 200 and f/11 with aperture priority mode on the 1D X, a full frame camera.
I prefocused on the kite flyer, set the lens to manual focus, put the camera on the ground, tilting up at the girl and the kites in the sky. Then shot a short burst of a few frames, while changing the tilt angle hoping to capture the girls and kites. f/11 gave me the depth of field that I wanted.
