I went out at 6:30 this morning to take some pictures. It was cold and very windy. There were lots of clouds at the horizon so I had to wait a while before the sun rose above them.
On my way to Richmond to check out the new Olympic lights by the airport, I passed by a section of stores on Fraser Street. Obviously wind is not something newspaper people are used to. There were bundles of papers in front of many stores and some of the bundles were open allowing the wind to steal them page-by-page and spread them down the street.
After dealing with a faulty battery problem in my camera, I mounted my camera on a tripod and chose a slow shutter speed. I wanted to capture some blur as the papers were thrown about. Back at home when I processed the image, I felt it looked best as a black and white image.
The long shutter speed sure did its job. Quite subtle, but it's worth the second look.
