Bonavista, Newfoundland.
Like any trip I take I usually do some internet searches of the area to see what others have seen. To potentially find something that interests me to photograph. Of course the Bonavista Lighthouse was a hot item but what caught my attention was what laid below the lighthouse. In only a few images I had seen of the area this little red shed stood out to me. I knew right away it was something I wanted to photograph. My plan was to photography it at a time other then sunrise or sunset. I didn’t want any strong colors in my shot to take away from the sheds color. So pretty much every day I would pay close attention to the cloud formations in that area looking for just the right ones. Day after day past with no luck and it was looking like this red shed was going to be an image that would haunt me as things were not looking good. On our last full day it was calling for rain later in the evening so I knew my change had come. Usually prior to rain fall you will get some interesting transitional clouds..of course the best cloud formations were happening behind me in this image but I was happy with what laid in front of me. The wispy cloud formations helped tie into the painterly feel I wanted for the image. My obsession with capturing this shot as finally over and it turned out just as I had envisioned.
I also have a horizontal version of this image as well which has already been sent off to the printers for my mother to go over her red couch. I will post that version soon.
