SSI Waterfall with Edit

November 9, 2016

SSI Waterfall with edit
(Here’s something we haven’t done in almost nine years of Salt Spring Photos…
Several distracting elements were edited out of this version of yesterday’s image. It’s nearly impossible to find a scene like this without dead leaves, a stick or log in an ‘awkward spot’ — items which draw your eye away from the message/impact of the photograph. So what do you think, is this a more pleasing image than yesterday’s version of the image? If you had a large print on your wall of yesterday’s version, would those elements begin to bother you?)

Little Qualicum Falls
Despite a very low water level again this year, the Little Qualicum still thunders through this canyon in the Provincial Park.

Big Day at Salt Spring Photos

January 31, 2016

Seasonal Waterfall on Salt Spring Island

This Salt Spring Island hillside is awash with run-off from the recent rain.

And today’s post marks a watershed in the history of Salt Spring Photos. As of today, eight full years of photos have appeared on this website. Whew.

In year nine, I believe there will be some changes as I expand my photographic pursuits. Both on Salt Spring and during journeys off-island.

By necessity there will be fewer posts; there won’t be a photo every day. This should provide time needed to produce images more in keeping with the quality of my commercial images. More images like the one in this post. It was carefully captured with a medium format digital camera system that I am gradually incorporating into my workflow. Though you won’t see the detail on screen*, prints made from the original images will be stunning at very large sizes (and at smaller sizes for those of us with little available wall space :-). Think about purchasing one print during 2016; it will help offset the cost of providing this website.

The 250 or so of you who have signed up for the email notification will continue to receive an email each time a new post is created. In order to view the photo you will need to click the link.

I hope you can see the three dimensional quality and clarity in today’s image. There’s more coming, I’m looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

The River

April 15, 2015

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.
