The bikes left first, followed by the runners in this year’s Terry Fox Run on Salt Spring Island.
SKY Theme at Salt Spring Elementary
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.
That Last Car On Feeling
Smiles and thumbs-up as this Jeep wins the big-squeeze-last-on-the-ferry lottery.
Much better than that first-car-left-behind feeling…
Last weekend is often one of the busiest of the summer; this week’s long weekend is often more quiet as families get reorganized for the school year.
Watching the Racers
These two had ring-side seats at Salt Spring Slasher 2012.
Salt Spring Slasher 2012
The fourth annual Salt Spring Slasher longboard race blasted down Juniper Road this past weekend under a blazing sun.
Some riders reached 90 km on the straight sections. But everyone had to negotiate the tight corners—and not everyone made the bottom hairpin. Bales flew and straw filled the air. All in the name of fun. Crazy, crazy fun. I mean, seriously, what could have gone wrong?
Photo note:
The goal of this photo was to focus on a near rider while imparting a feeling of movement and speed. The technique is called panning.
How to:
Set a slower shutter speed than normal.
Allow the camera to auto focus. Set the camera to continuous shooting.
Point your feet at the middle of “pan” area.
Turn to face the direction where the subject will enter your field of view.
Start shooting before the subject is directly in front of you.
Keep steady as you follow the subject.
Follow through as the subject heads out of the frame.
The closer the subject is to you and the faster the subject’s speed, the faster the shutter speed needs to be.
