Salt Spring Photos

Salt Spring Photographer John Cameron

The River

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.

    Sorry Stijn, I’m bound by a previous agreement. I can tell you though this is the Kennedy River. That should help!

      Sure looks great doesn’t it. (These were shot with the Leica and there is something special the Leica look.)
      Unfortunately I’ve heard snow pacs in the area are less than 20% of normal.
