At one time, I spent a lot of time here at Peggy’s Cove. I challenged myself to find a shot that I had never seen before, something completely new. This is likely Novs Scotia’s most photographed location and I doubt I got anything new and original, but this is one that did interest me. I stayed later than usual because the fog rolled in and I wanted to explore the possibilities. I think it was worth the effort.

This image of “The Storm” was posted here before but this one is different. I have made several different versions because I’ve never got one that I really like before. I’m known for re-editing images as tech advances but in this case, I just never got it right before. I like realistic looking images and this one is very easy to edit too aggressively. I sat down the other day and actually decided that the sky needed to be pulled back considerabky to bring it to the point of looking “real”. I see that a lot, I think many people tend to over process skies, trying to bring out more mood. Darkness is often exaggerated, as is sunset colours. I second guess myself a lot as I don’t want to fall into that category but I know I do from time to time. This will hopefully be the final version of “The Storm”, it looks more accurate to the way I saw it now and I am liking it. Hope you do too.

This photo of the Queensport Light was made a couple of years ago with my 300mm prime. I got the lens for shooting concerts originally but have found some other uses for it. I published another shot of this lighthouse here but I prefer this one using a longer focal length.

Sometimes I find myself going through older photos from years ago. I guess that why we collect them in the first place, right? This one is from 2008, but still grabs my interest because of the strong foreground. Gotta love that fog.
