Two of the musician that played at the buffet every night. Great guys to chat with. If I had more time, we would have sat down and jammed.

With no other photographers around, I had to shoot with my wireless trigger to capture some shots of my wife and I.

On the rocks

Got home in time to enjoy some day light. The creek was almost completely frozen over except for a few spots where some fast water was.
Each time I had to move the ring around, I’d move my camera back to the shore, then put it back on the ice and recompose the shot. Got myself a little wet kneeling down on the ice, but didn’t (knock on wood) get anything soaked.
I think I might need to get a neutral density filter. I never thought I’d need one, but I shot at 100 ISO, and had the aperture at f/40.0, just to try and get a slow shutter speed.

Rambo Creek

Got sick and tired of shooting inside, so I took a little walk while the kids were having their nap. Found this awesome looking ice pattern near a dip in the creek.

Hundreds of people jump into the icy cold waters of Lake Ontario at the Courage Brothers’ Polar Bear Dip each year while thousands watch and cheer them on. Some say it’s the incredible atmosphere of the festival, some say it’s to try something a little over the edge to bring in the New Year, others just want to get their faces in the local and national media.
It all takes place on January 1st at Coronation Park in Oakville, Ontario.
Net proceeds from the Courage Brothers’ Polar Bear Dip have been given to World Vision Canada since 1995. In that time over $380,000 has been raised and has funded water projects around the world.
