One tug’s paying attention to the exploding sunrise; the other’s seen it all.
Salt Spring Moonset
A February moon sets into the clouds of an eerie western Salt Spring sky.
Note to photographers:
Because the moon is moving and the clouds are moving even faster, a fairly fast shutter speed is required; in this case 1/125 sec. And a long lens is required; in this case 420mm with an aperture of 4.5 (4.0 max and a bit of sharpness). This shot then required and ISO of 3200. Because I happened upon this scene with only seconds to catch the moon before it slid behind the clouds and mountains, there wasn’t time to think or to get the camera onto a tripod —just elbows on a railing. What would you have done differently?
Salt Spring to the Mainland
As a follow-up to Friday’s photo of the day, downtown Ganges at 8am on a February morning. We’re looking down on the centre portion of Ganges, across Ganges Harbour, Salt Spring, Galiano and across to the mainland (to the White Rock/Birch Bay area).
7:45 am in Ganges
Ganges wakes up to a light coating of frost. Interesting to see who’s at work. The float planes have left the dock, and a flotilla of ducks (blur top right) are taxiing in to fill the spot.
At Your Feet
Looking down from a little bridge in a Salt Spring forest. That’s the same water the dinosaurs drank; there’s no new water. I’m getting mine from a tap at North Saltspring Waterworks. They’re borrowing it from Mount Maxwell Lake.
