On Location in Nova Scotia
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 10:33AM Today I am traveling to Nova Scotia for Next Era Energy. I am headed to Pubnico Point to photograph one of their wind sites. More details on this adventure soon. The ferry is almost ready to dock...
After several weeks of waiting for a two day blue sky weather window to open, it finally did. Just days before the Thanksgiving Holiday. Pubnico Point, NS is over ten hours of driving and ferry time from my office in Portland. I had consiered flying, but due to the sketchy weather forecast for the return part of my journey I decided driving would provide me with the most flexibility. I did not want to get stuck by a grounded airplane in a snowstwom. As it turned out, there was a huge snow storm on my return travel day and I would have been stuck at the closed airport.
While on location I was treated to perfect weather for photographing the 17 turbine windfarm both from the ground and air. I shot at sunrise and sunset and during the day. The late November timing of this shoot made photographing in the middle of the day fine due to the shortened day and low angle of the sun for this northern location. With a day and a half of shooting time I had enough time on the ground to provide my client with a varied body of work that captured the windfarm from many different angles and with a wide range of lighting options provided by mother nature. The locals in Nova Scotia were very friendly and being able to use US funds in Canada made leaving for this trip last minute a breeze.
