I took this shot a couple weekends ago at Broom Hill in Sooke BC. The lighting conditions were difficult since I was looking up into a very bright overcast sky. I made sure to force the flash so I would light up this rider (Shane). I was quick enough to capture him perfectly in frame.

Mountain biking is the first sport that I really became good at. I have been riding since 1997. Since I began to get more interested in photography, I have tried to combine the two whenever possible.

These three are essentially the same picture, but with increasing exposure length. They were taken at a nearby office development called the Selkirk. It was quite a cold and windy night. After I took the first shot I was immediately pleased with the results, so I kept taking more pictures. I loved the mixture of colors in the light, and how the wind whipped the branches around.

My Theme Thursday submission. I am thankful to have both Sue and Yoshi in my life. Both pictures were taken at Long Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park in B.C. Canada.
