Petty Harbour Sunset
I’ve never had much luck with shooting in Petty Harbour. That’s always been a little perplexing, as it’s very quaint. That’s not just me talking… it’s often chosen by movie makers as a fill-in-the-blank Newfoundland outport.
It wasn’t until just recently that I finally clued in as to why I’m never quite happy with my shots. It has to do with the way the harbour faces due east, while also being tucked right down in a valley. The problem is, just as the sun is getting low in the west and things are looking good, the light disappears behind a big hill.
These shots were taken just before the corn shots from yesterday. As you can see from Angelika’s pose, it was windy and freezing, even with several jacket layers and thermal underwear.
Anyway, rule of thumb when shooting Petty Harbour…
When the light goes to shit, you still have time to drive somewhere else to get some good stuff.
