A “Working Vacation”, I’m sure we’ve all heard the term before. Without hesitation, I’m also pretty sure that everyone reading this post could identify someone in his or her network that needs a vacation from their regular 9-5 grind.

It is 5:45am, my alarm is buzzing for the third consecutive time this morning and finally I get up, throw on an old pair of jeans and my trusty insulated plaid button up. It’s the uniform of choice among my co-workers on the construction site. I have just graduated from BCIT with a journeyman certificate in the trade of plumbing and this is my first week back to work.

Today’s Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras (DSLR) have a flash sync limitation of 200, 250 or 320, depending on the model. For us snowboarding photographers, we’ve been dealing with this rather slow sync speed since the early days of snowboard documentation. There are a few different techniques in squeaking out a higher shutter speed to properly catch fast moving action while using artificial light.

I thought it was most fitting for this time of year to post a few rain skate shots as my first bneeth post. The summer of 2011 has come to an end and with fall and winter conditions coming on stong put’s most of the skateboarders in Canada into a dark and dull place.

I’ve been shooting Polaroid film and experimenting with different types of film/cameras for a minute now; really sucks that Polaroid film had been around for so long and now that it’s nearly impossible to find, it is when I really get into it.
