It’s Friday which means it’s time to cut loose and welcome the weekend! I had an opportunity to meet up with photographer Steve Huskisson to capture the Juno Beach pier at sunrise. After a night of pretty intense storms, the weather gods smiled and left interesting clouds and wonderful colors to make a beautiful sunrise. I made several images of sites around the area and then turned my attention to the pier as the sun began to streak across the horizon. The clouds had depth and texture while the colors covered a wide spectrum. The light-frosted waves lapped against the shore leaving only a reflection as they retreated back to the waiting ocean. It was a terrific morning.
I find the ocean to be both a grounding force as well as where creativity can be derived. To celebrate both, I processed this image a bit on the wild side with exaggerated tones. The dark shadows give a solid base while the explosive colors show creativity and depth. Each of us see the world through our own eyes and our own experiences. This frame will resonate differently with each person.
