Cloud Hole II

Last Sunday I shared a story about standing around shivering waiting for light that never materialised – I am learning that is not really an interesting story to photographers, it is just too everyday. Anyway, I ended up with a shot that I really liked, but could not have expected, of two layers of clouds and blue sky. Today’s picture is the distal end of these holes in the clouds – a spotlight on the water in front of Trial Island, off the south end of Vancouver Island.

This is one of the many spotlights that I waited upon to make their way over to the beach I wanted them to light for me. And, like all the others, it dissipated before it got where I needed it. However, it did make a pretty dramatic shot, and I am reasonably satisfied with how it turned out.

  1. I liked this pic for its steely-bluey-greyness when I first looked at it in a cybercaf in New Zealand, a country so green that the retina almost becomes saturated, not that I’m complaining. NZ is great. Mario

    • Hi mario – I am pleased that you have come back to have another look at this picture, I can just imagine the contrast from that green place.
      NZ sounds like a wonderful country to visit, and a photographer’s paradise too. I don’t mind too much green – I felt right at home in Northern Ireland when I visited there for a week. It feels like parts of coastal BC, with the trees removed and sheep everywhere, but a very familiar home-ish feel even so. I think NZ would probably have the same effect on me.

    • Thank you Joseph – they were fun to watch because they moved across the water pretty quickly, changing shape and intensity. None of them really illuminated and isolated Trial Island, which might have been a good shot as well.
