More Ride to Live

Love this shot....I need that helmet!
Plus it depicts just how wet the day was.

That's a real dog!

"Ride to Live" Series

This week-end I photographed the "Ride for Life", a fundraiser for prostate cancer. 400+ motorcycles riding from Ogden Point to Sooke and then out to Sidney.

 Amazing photo ops, characters and bikes!!!! I had such a blast.

Some of my favorite photos will be over the next week or so.

This is shot at f 6.3 1/400 sec at ISO 200.......no time for tripods.

The Cash Man

This is little 'Cash' at 5 months. He is my daughter Gillian's puppy.
He's the most mellow, obedient dog. I was so impressed with his nature and personality. Just a little gem of a dog.
Shot at f 4.0 1/100 sec ISO 100
I miss you Cash!

Borage

This Borage plant was shot at Government House f 4.0 1/200 sec -0.33 ISO 100 on a tripod.
Such a lovely delicate herb and the most beautiful colour of blue.

Vatican Staircase

Shot at the Vatican Museum in Rome. This staircase is so famous, every photographer that's been to Rome has a multitude of shots of it. I've seen it on the cover of more than one book. It's beautiful! I so wish I had a different lens, wide angle preferably(FYI...never go to Europe without a wide angle lens!) All my Europe shots are on a 50mm lens, sometimes it was in my favour but mostly not.
f 3.2 1/125sec ISO 1600.

Grass series

Taken out at Island View Beach today. f 5.6 1/320 ISO 100 handheld. It's a weed , but a pretty one.

Lighthouse staircase

   Shot out at Fort Rodd Hill. F 13.0 1/125 sec ISO 100

Fort Rodd Hill

Went on a photo shoot out at Fort Rodd Hill yesterday. Here are some shots of volunteers who work very hard to preserve history by re-enacting different aspects of Military and Navy life in days gone by.

Green

This was shot at Government House at f 4.0 1/160 ISO 100. On a tripod. I think it's time to start changing my settings on my camera. I love shooting wide open, on aperture priority at f 4.0, which is as wide as my 70-200mm zoom goes, but I think I better shake things up a bit, try a few different apertures.
