'Coastal Utah' - Nova Scotia

There are times when I can't believe I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada.

 

Arches like this seem like they're pulled straight out of Moab in Utah.

 

Having these immense sandstone structures on an icy beach with a light dusting of snow is just the icing on the cake.

 

I had a nightmare of a time capturing this shot without featuring my bulbous shadow in the centre of the frame.

 

I played the game of hitting the shutter with a 10" timer to then perform the 'sprint of shadow removal'.

 

I did this several times and felt fairly smug that I'd managed to capture the shot without my own shadow until I got the images home and saw them full screen.

 

My sprinting may have removed my own shadow, but the shadow of my camera and tripod was ever-present.

 

Some quick spot-removal brushwork took care of that and I'm pretty happy with the finished result.

 

Expect to see a video from this adventure hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

 

Thanks for reading
