Halifax, NS - Peggy's Cove - March 2025
Favourite Shot of the Shoot
I have been to Peggy’s Cove many times and taken this same photo before. However I feel the B&W rendered shot is the best depiction that I have captured. . Normally I would shoot an open boat like this front to back but feel this does it justice. I would have preferred my reflection but it was not bright enough that day.
The Images that Expressed the day.
A little Location History
Your photo shoot sounds like it beautifully captured the spirit of Peggy’s Cove, blending its rich maritime heritage with artistic vision. The fishing boats, painted in vibrant hues, undoubtedly tell the story of a village shaped by the sea, each one carrying decades of hard work and tradition. Capturing these vessels in your photographs brings to life the pulse of the fishing community that thrives there.
The ruins of the “boats,” transformed into striking black-and-white images, likely add a timeless quality to your collection. Black-and-white photography has a unique ability to accentuate texture and emotion, making the rugged details of the ruins and the windswept landscape even more poignant. It’s like freezing a moment of history against the backdrop of Nova Scotia’s untamed beauty.
The benches and resting areas around Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, on the other hand, invite a sense of peace and contemplation. Whether it’s visitors soaking in the view or locals pausing to reflect, they offer a quieter contrast to the drama of the waves and the iconic lighthouse. Framing them in your images likely adds a human touch to the majestic scenery, showing not just a place, but its atmosphere—where the power of nature meets the warmth of community.
Your photos must be a remarkable narrative of Peggy’s Cove’s multifaceted charm. I’d love to hear more about your experience capturing these scenes—was there a particular moment or view that really stood out to you?
