Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron
Supermoon 8:35 pm, August 10, 2014
There was a big crowd out in Ganges to watch the moon rise Sunday. The Coast Guard area provided a good platform to view the moon which rose in the east-south east (105º). Some low cloud and haze provided great colour when the moon was near the horizon. Apparently this was “the biggest and brightest moon in 20 years.”
By 9:10 pm darkness was setting in and more detail was visible:
While on a shoot with Chris Humphries for AQUA Mag, Chris’ son helped by holding a reflector for some of the shots of his Dad.
So during the shoot, I asked him to hop up on his Dad’s desk for one shot to check the light. He did…with style. (his mother likes it :)
More photos from the shoot on the johncameron.ca photo blog.
9:10 pm, Burgoyne Bay on Salt Spring Island
Burgoyne Bay is a BC Provincial Park established in 2004. It’s just a few bumpy minutes off the Fulford-Ganges superhighway.
During this extended clear warm weather, the setting sun produces a clean gradation of colours from purply blue through pinks, yellows and orange.
Continuing the recent run of Saturday homes, I ran into this one the other day and thought you might like a peak inside.

Lots to see in this photo if you live on, or have visited, Salt Spring Island.
