Day in the Life of Salt Spring

While looking through my archives for a particular image, I stumbled across this one. I thought it might give you a giggle, and in a way it’s timely…

I realized I completely forgot about the Driftwood’s annual A Day in the Life of Salt Spring which was (I think) shot one week ago today. How things change; there was a time I’d spend the equivalent of three working days on the Day in the Life project.

Does anyone know anything about this year’s project? See anyone out for the Driftwood?

Oh, by the way, this photo was taken at 7:15 am on June 20, 2008. I thought it was perfect for the Day in the Life project because after a couple of years of working on this project, we we’re struggling to provide an insight to the sometimes unusual or unexpected daily life on Salt Spring Island. So even in 2013, I think this qualifies. And Tim’s not a little guy, but his truck’s a monster. Here’s the caption I provided at the time:

Tim Duke’s 2004 F-350 was hand built for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Street legal with economical 6 litre diesel, the truck has only driven 8000 KM. Tim was heading off island that morning where the truck would receive a custom interior.

Loft in a Salt Spring Island Barn

Came across this loft today in what was being called a barn.
Nice barn.

Geeky, Photographer Stuff:
The top image is from a JPEG, with very minor editing (some dodge/burn, a slight perspective adjustment, auto white balance and gorgeous colour) from the Fuji X E-1 mirrorless camera. Note the shutter speed, handheld. Interesting…
ISO 800,  f/10,  1/17 sec,  -0.67ev,  18mm (27mm equiv)
The bottom image is from a RAW file, again with fairly minor editing, from the Canon 1DX camera. The camera was on a tripod. The colour, while very different from upstairs is as I saw it; so the colour hasn’t been changed.
ISO 100,  f/8,  1/25 sec,  -01.67ev,  17mm
