I was asked by Hugh Murrell to act as his second on the first day of the Dusi Canoe Marathon. All I had to take along was my cell phone and camera. Most of the pics shown here were taken at Mission Rapid, just below Mission Bridge on Mission Road.

I had a great day. and I got the impression that Hugh did as well.

I developed the software (bash script) to display the pics. It is still very much work in progress and is based on a similar system that was part of the Konqueror File Manager (http://www.konqueror.org/) that ran under the Linux Konqueror Desktop Environment (KDE) (http://www.konqueror.org/).

Simply one of the most amazing pieces of software I have ever used.

I decided to develop the software because I wanted a system that would display photographs the way I wanted them displayed. Also because I currently use Apple's MobileMe Gallery, and cannot find a way that allows me to share an album in this gallery with the general public, without risking the possible exposure of the rest of my albums.

You may want to give the slide show composed of the pics a miss. If you want to see a short video of the canoeists shooting the rapids, and have the bandwidth (98MB file), follow this link.
