The spot pictured is Half Island Cove, Nova Scotia. For some reason, it has become one of my favourite places to spend some time when in Nova Scotia, after all, it’s about ten minutes down the road from our house. I have spent a lot of time there, drinking coffee and just watching waves if there are any. I’ve also spotted whales, porpoises and seals from this exact spot!

I urge you to revisit the same spots near you whenever you can. There are always differences……..there might be different light or other conditions that would make for a better photograph. Another thing that might be different is your own knowledge. You may have improved your own technique too, allowing for a much better photograph than you might have made before. Often, just walking around and looking at your scene from different angles will reveal different compositions that you may otherwise have overlooked.
