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.
