Front Page - October 27, 2015

I attended the open house of a local learning centre late in the week. I was hoping for a photo worthy of going on the front page but wasn't getting anything outstanding while on site. I did use the other photos elsewhere in this issue, but when this scene presented itself I knew it was a winner and got the shot I needed.

This contributed photo was interesting. I knew the location where it was shot (in a high school parking lot) but the angle of the photo makes it appear as if it was possibly shot on a timber cut block high above the valley. That visual trick was what put this photo on the front page.

There had been reports of at least one bear cub wandering around town for weeks. I did not expect one to actually walk by our office in the middle of the day. By the time I grabbed my camera the cub had ran across the street and was racing down the sidewalk. I managed a single shot and it was good enough for the front page after seeing the traffic it generated when I posted it on social media. Had I not done that this photo may not have ended up on the front page.
