A colourful view at 7 a.m. on a calm February morning as the sun rises straight down the harbour on Salt Spring Island.
Technical: Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 16-35 zoom lens at 16 mm, ISO 200, Shutter Speed: 0.3 sec, Aperture: f/8, tripod!
Note: On anything but the most calm mornings (like the one above), a tripod may not be enough to eliminate motion. For example, even a commercial pier can move enough to introduce blur in your image. Some camera companies are beginning to include ‘automatic stabilization’ and/or ‘shake reduction’ in the camera body itself.
