Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
South Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
I think part of the draw of the west coast is the never-ending sound the waves make as they relentlessly march up and across the sand and gravel beaches. When you take the first ferry from Vesuvius to Vancouver Island, you can be reading your book—in the sunshine at coffee time—on this beach. And I saw a couple doing just that. I took a few photos and left them—with the beach and this gorgeous spring weather—to themselves.
This is an odd view of a bank in Ganges on Salt Spring Island. It’s taken from a parking lot.
I suppose lots of people have money piled up in there…gaining no interest.
The view out my ‘office window’ on a recent photography excursion. This was serious work (sturdy tripod, high resolution sensor and top-notch optics). And while wasted on a website photo, the image has incredible detail which will be visible in print form.
Though you could do this trip from Salt Spring Island in a day, I chose to stay overnight. My truck was parked only 7 metres from the rapid pictured above and about 15 metres from the two below. In the middle photo, you get a sense of the thundering waterfall. So thundering that I decided to move the truck farther away so I could sleep at night!
The colours of this crystal clear mountain water just needed to be photographed.
