Kite Surfing Pano
It cleared up today but the wind rushed in to fill the gap! That generated some waves & stopped me from going out in the boat. So I went out to the beach to check out the scene. I knew there would be some Kite Surfers out,& sure enough…….there was!

Fishing Boat and the Wickaninnish Inn
You can see how well defined that sunshine area was! The boat was in it,but the Wick wasn’t!

You can see the Wickaninnish Inn alittle to the left of centre.
If you have lots of money………..you’ll be going there!
When we get famous people coming up,they stay here.
Shooting Shooters
Wickaninnish Inn Pano
You can see how different the light was in the afternoon! Much better!
Both Cats Face and Lone Cone had fresh snow on them. A nice dusting.
Nigel,Surfers and the Wick
The light today was terrible, it wasn’t raining but that should be here tomorrow by the sounds of it!
I was out at Chesterman’s Beach today . A fellow I know (Nigel) was out on the beach doing his daily exercise. He does it in bare feet! My feet get cold in my boots with thick wool socks!

I went back into town and looked around the harbour to see what was going on?
Cats Face and Lone Cone
I did another pano but tightened the shot alittle.
The mountain on the left is Cats Face. This is the mountain that is going to be mined! They effectively will be slicing the top third off. There is a low grade copper deposit there.
Many of us are trying to stop this from happening!
The mountain on the right is Lone Cone and is on Meares Island. I’ve climbed that mountain 22 times and spent New Years Eve there once. I even let of fireworks at midnight!
I’ll never forget that adventure! It was nothing short of remarkable!
Beach Runner
Many people were taking advantage of the “Rain Stoppage” and getting out to do their thing!
Like me.
You can see that the surf was up and as a result,the surfers were down. Very few were out surfing. Too sloppy I suppose? I’m not a surfer,so do not understand these things.
Wick Surf

Various Surf Shots
I went out to the beach this afternoon. The tide was fairly high and the surf was up! There was alittle light able to get through,but nothing close to what I prefer!
There were a few good rollers coming in!

Heading Out
These guys were just arriving for a afternoons surf. The surf looked big! Not a beginners surf !
Chesterman’s Beach Rainbow Panoramic
I shot this from Frank Island .
The rainbow was only showing near the ground and did not complete the arch.
It goes from the Wick to Long Beach Lodge.
It’s probably about 160 degrees or so and is composed of 18 shots!
Wickaninnish Inn at Sunset
Whenever I go out by the Lighthouse,I always shoot the Wick.
A friend asked me why I shoot the Wick so much! I explained that the Wick is the only subject I can shoot in front of Strathcona. Strathcona faces south and so does the Wick.
I knew that the mountains of Strathcona would turn pink tonight. There were no clouds on the western horizon. Thats when the longest wavelengths can be seen………….the pinks!
Watch as how the light goes from gold to pink to a cooler tone in the transition .
This is the reason why I went out there tonight. Normally I do not go out there at this time of year! It’s just to rough for my little boat. It wasn’t too rough,but I still had to watch every wave that I was going to hit. I can get thrown out of the boat if I hit a wave on a angle! I always am very careful when I go out here and even more so when the waves are up a bit!

Wick Rainbow
The sky broke in the afternoon. I saw a clearing coming and headed out to the beach.
As soon as I got out on the beach,I noticed this rainbow to the north. I wanted to get something of interest in the foreground and the only thing I could see was the Wickaninnish Inn! But I would have to go much further west to put the rainbow in behind. The only place to do that was Frank Island. I started walking out to it and hiked over the rock to get to the furthest west. I shot a few along the way in case it disappeared before I got out to the point. The rainbow was holding. It was strange to see a rainbow happen for over 1/2 hour !
Rain clouds were drifting in from the west continuously.

Wick Pano
This was shot at the north end of Chestermans Beach. I needed some foreground material and could find only the Wickaninnish Inn. Thats it on the far right in the shade.
Your looking right under this last cloud system for 100 klicks or so. Theres alot of rain between our eye and that clearing in behind.
Man on Bike with Dog
I shot this fellow near sunset on Chesterman’s Beach. You can see the Wickaninnish Inn in the background and Cats Face Mountain range in behind that.
Sunset Ride
I saw these bicyclists coming down the beach and waited for them to come into my scene. I always like to use the Lighthouse as background material.
Wickaninnish Inn and Whale Watching Zodiac
I saw a Zodiac from Jamies Whale Watching and got a shot of them passing in front of the Wick. The sun had come out and was giving some good light.
Orcas have been seen out in this area in the past week and I’m sure these guys passed through looking to see if anyone was home!
Osprey
Wickaninnish Inn
There were no clouds on the western horizon,so the sun was able to give off a pinkish/violet hue.
The mountains have melted alot since I was last out here.
Wickaninnish Sunset
We had a bit of wind today and it lasted until sunset. The clouds lite up,but I was having trouble finding any foreground material. There were no people out either.
You can see the Wick on the far side of Chesterman’s with Lone Cone and Catsface in behind.
Surf Kayakers at Chesterman Beach
These guys were nice enough to pose for me and I sent them a few shots .
Once again ,I am always mindful of the Background and used the Wick. as wallpaper here.
Wickaninnish Sunset Moon
I had waited approximately 17 months to be able to go up in a plane and shoot these aerials.
I needed no clouds on the eastern and western horizon’s and it had to happen when the full moon was rising! Those three parameters all lined up on October 3rd.
I always shoot from a plane with the door off. I do not want to shoot through the door window. You reduce your expensive lens to a cheap one by going through another medium.(which I might add is almost always scruffed up)
If you do it and have friends with you. Remember that whoever sits in the back seat is going to get the wind blast and it’s always cold!
This is the true colour.
