  VanDusen Garden

Sunflowers With Bee
I have a seasons pass for VanDusen and I really didn't use it enough this year.  I had a few hours open so I went by to try and take some macro shots.  Unfortunately, I forgot one of the parts I needed for my tripod so I was restricted to handheld only.  It's the end of the season so there are still flower, but some are looking rather sad.

I have a 105mm Macro which I really like to use.  That said, it often has very thin depth of field which can make photos quite frustrating.  Photoshop has a compositing pipeline where you stack a bunch of image and use that to get good depth of field.  I thought I would actually try taking some photos of flowers and see if I could stack them up.


In September there isn't a lot of flowers.  The day I picked was also kind of windy which makes this image stacking even harder.  That said, I was pretty happy with the results.

Bike the Night


Nara And Claira In Staging Area
We did a bike the night back in 2019, just before COVID hit.  The bike the night even has been canceled for years since and has just come back in a new format.  The previous Bike the Night was had the families ride first and then the adults rode behind them with the whole ride starting around 8pm.  This year there was two whole rides - one for kids starting around 6:45 and an adult ride starting at 8pm.  Second format change - the 2019 ride was on the roads and the police closed off all of the roads.  This year, the ride was all on the seawall.
