An alarming number of my favorite photos come from Peggy’s Cove, frankly I need to find some new locations. However it’s a family favorite for us and on this particular morning there was some nice diffused light from nearby fog. The first composition here is one of my all-time favorites and one I’ve never spotted before. Something about the lines in the image seems to work.
This was an event with the local camera club I’d been looking forward to for a long time, but ended up being a little more complicated than I’d hoped. It wasn’t particularly cold but was blowing so hard the windchill became a pretty major factor. Ended up being too cold to think straight and I had a hard time focusing. None the less, found a few images I liked especially once the sun was down and we got into blue hour....
With a storm coming through during the night, conditions looked interesting for sunrise out at Peggy’s Cove, cloud transitioning to sun, and the swell expected to be somewhere in the 7-10 foot range. I decided to haul myself out of bed at 5:30am and try to be there to see if something would happen. Fourty-five minutes of driving, two hours of hiking, and 700 photos later, I think I can say it was worth it....
