Location
This photo was taken in Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia during a weather front bringing snow to the area. With moisture in the air, I waited patiently for Mother Nature to paint the sky. One of my favorite places for both peace and photography.Time
Just before 6pm.Lighting
With the horizon surrounding this famous lighthouse, there is always an opportunity for great photos.Equipment
Canon SX30, freehand with no flash. No touchups, no filter and lots of patience.Inspiration
I have always loved lighthouses and any large body of water. Sunset, sunrise, peak sun or especially after a big storm, I always feel connected to the earth when I visit here.Editing
No post-processing. I am the patient kind who waits for timing to take these timeless shots. Call me old school, but post-processing is not the shot you took once you change it. All it is then is art.In my camera bag
My camera, a cleaning cloth and polarizing filter for this particular camera.Feedback
Patience and planning are the key to true success. The pleasure you reap from taking a perfect photo is euphoric.
