Ok, I was tired after a long day. This is my friend Greg at his usual position at his computer.
Greg in his usual spot!
365 Project – Day 277
Written by Sarah Bourne on July 20th, 2010Danimal Mountain Biking Trail
Written by Sarah Bourne on July 11th, 2010Another photo shoot with Rob. This time on “Danimal” – a black trail off Stonebridge Road, which is off Alta Lake Road (aka “Westside Road”). Rob patiently rode and re-rode the features for me so that I could get a good angle. Turned a 30 min ride into an hour and a half!
The last two photos were taken on a different day and were easier to take as the weather was overcast so no “hot spots” where the sun was breaking through the trees.
River Runs Through it bike trail
Written by Sarah Bourne on July 5th, 2010This mountain biking trail is well known by locals and foreigners alike – we met several of both during our ride. Rob makes all the stunts look easy. Me, not so much! Thankfully Rob’s pretty good with the camera so managed to get a couple of shots of me on just about the only stunt I could manage.
Studio lit bubbles with splashes
Written by Sarah Bourne on June 30th, 2010These are photos of bubbles floating on the surface of water in a shallow dish. Lit directly in front of the camera (thus back-lighting the bubble giving it’s rim glow) Rob and I tried on two nights different methods to get the bubble and the drip in the shot:
For the green bubbles, we used a strong solution of washing-up liquid (hence the green!), and Rob used a straw to blow a single bubble on the surface of the water. I had to be quick to take the photograph as the bubbles were not very strong. With the camera mounted on a tripod, and pre-focused, I used a dropper to drop water through the bubble from above. It was quite tricky getting the timing right!
For the blue bubbles, I used children’s soap solution. I actually blew the bubbles into the air (as a child would), caught the one I wanted on the wand and placed it on the surface of the water. The bubbles were so much stronger that they could withstand being moved to the pre-focused area of the water and multiple drips from above. I used a bigger plate to allow less clutter around each bubble and a better light – a single, large softbox.
Enjoy!
Temporary tube park at the Roundhouse
Written by Sarah Bourne on June 27th, 2010Whistler’s snow pack is still so high that the management decided to put a temporary tube park in at the Roundhouse. At 2,200 feet this is tubing with a view! They’re only charging $5/ea for as many runs as you want. There isn’t a lift though – you have to hike for your fun.
You can see the snow depth as Rob (6′4″) stands on a cleared road literally just outside the Roundhouse.

Rocky Mountain Road Trip
Written by Sarah Bourne on May 31st, 2010This was a very, very short trip – one day of driving, four days of working 12 hour shifts at the Calgary University Campus / Calgary Speed Skating Oval during the Canadian West Volleyball Open, then one day off in Banff followed by a 5am start back to Whistler. A mere 13 hour drive!
We were lucky with the weather in that at least we could see the Rocky Mountains. It was spectacular albeit not necessarily phenomenally photogenic.
Nina & Jamie May 15th 2010
Written by Sarah Bourne on May 30th, 2010Nina and Jamie were married in the Catholic Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kamloops. It was a beautiful ceremony with some of the wedding guests singing solos. One one of the hottest May 15ths that Kamloops has ever seen the coolness of the Cathedral was welcome. The reception followed at the South Thompson Inn and Conference Center where a breeze from the river was also very refreshing.
These are a few of my favourite images from the day, and you can also view the couple’s on-line gallery here.
Retro ski day with the Coasties
Written by Sarah Bourne on May 17th, 2010This was our end of year party and since we were all dressed up in 70’s gear I decided to bring my 70’s camera – a Canon A1. Looks like the film was about the same age which adds a certain authenticity to the shots, I think.
WSSF – Redeye Empire
Written by Sarah Bourne on April 19th, 2010Redeye Empire played on the mainstage in Skier’s Plaza today as part of the WSSF – World Ski and Snowboard Festival. With a cameo appearance from Kostaman, and some adoring fans looking on having fun.
