New Chemainus River Bridge on Chemainus Road

New Chemainus River Bridge on Chemainus Road

I’m a big fan of picturesque wooden bridges, especially covered bridges.

But the old wood bridge was replaced with a new five million dollar (wood free) bridge over the Chemainus river. There’s also a view-spoiling gas line pipe spanning the river on the west side of this bridge.

p.s.
This was a day trip from Salt Spring to Nanaimo Toyota where my Tacoma gets its yearly spa treatment. While there I saw this interesting little 2 litre (200 hp) motor in a Scion FR-S. Note the intake manifold sports both Toyota and Subaru branding.

Stopped in to a new JJ Bean store at Bidwell and Davie while on a day trip to Vancouver. Clever mix of vintage and modern—inside and out at this café.

Charge Electric Cars on Salt Spring

ArtSpring: full house.

I was pretty sure the charging stations behind ArtSpring were completely unused.

But the other day I saw that this electric Smart Car was hooked up and beside it plugged into the other station was a Nissan Leaf.

Salt Spring Photos is escaping on a road trip this week so there will most likely be a short program interruption. Regular programming is scheduled to resume March 16.

SD64 Improv at ArtSpring

SD64 Improv at ArtSpring

 

The improvisors were at it for the last time this school year. At ArtSpring. The kids had a great time. And the audience had a great time. FUN show SD64!

Here while improvising a scene, the students were engaged in a steal-the-hat game.

People ask for tech info on the photos from time to time; I sometimes add this information if the situation is unusual.
In the fast moving yet low light of theatre, a camera/lens combination that can focus very quickly at a high ISO (film speed or ASA in the old days) and still produce a clean image is essential to capture movement. As always it comes down to ISO, aperture, and shutter speed right. In this case I needed to stop horizontal and unpredictable motion so 1/500 sec for the shutter speed. A couple of feet of depth of focus needed, so f/2.0 and that required an ISO of 3200.

photo info: Canon 1DX, ISO 3200,  f/2.0,  1/500 sec,  35mm (no noise reduction applied to the images)
