Project 365 - Day 160 - the Gutsy Walk

Today Sonia and I spent the better part of the morning at The Gutsy Walk at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington taking photos of teams that had registered to participate in the walk.  The Teams all raised money for research into Crohns and Colitis, and we were more than happy to help out in this way.

When the walk started, the Cursaders Drumline helped march the group of walkers out.  This is a group of kids that are enrolled at St Mary Catholic School in Hamilton.  These kids are awesome, and they continued playing for those of us who were left behind after the walkers had gone.

Man, if this was around when I was in high school, I might have actually joined band!  :-)

This was shot with my 24-70mm lens set to 56mm, at ISO640 and 1/8000 sec shutter.  Aperture was at f/3.5.  In post, I cropped for content, and turned down the exposure a bit.  I had a flash mounted to the top of the camera that was pointing straight ahead to allow the white drum to illuminate properly.

Well done to the Cursaders, to the walkers and the organizers of today's event.  It was a lot of fun to participate in such a good cause.
