Lighthouse in Peggy’s Cove Nova Scotia, Sunsets always turn out perfect here.
Peggy’s Cove is one of the most photographed locations in the world located in Nova Scotia, Canada. This tiny inlet boasts some spectacular scenery including huge glacial rocks, a tiny village of 40 inhabitants, and particularly the lighthouse. / The crashing Atlantic Ocean surf on these lovely rocks is fabulous.
Re-work of an image removed previously. / Removed the darn tourist photographer who was in the shot, then darkened it a little. Hope you like it. Taken September 2007.
First in a series, collect all four!
I just found this very old photo of Peggy’s Cove,this was taken on Mariners World about 200 years ago. / Because of the violent storms generated by Nova Moon,it requires two lighthouses. / They do say except for the backdrop of the Scotia Mountains and the Nova Moon,this could be the original Earthly scene. I used Lucindawinds images “Tranquility” and “The Reason for Lighthouses”. Alienvisitor’s Imagi – Nation .......................................................................................................... Here’s a How I did it.! I went to Lucindawinds page and viewed her art,the two I picked out were…............. “Tranquility” and “The Reason for Lighthouses”. I then contacted her,got permission to use them and had her email high res. images. / She also gave me ownership of said images,to use in any creations. In this I used two photos, a render, 2 models creations, a number of layers and filters. / Software used Photoshop,Infinity-D,Artmatic Voyager. In Photoshop… I put both photos on transparent layers,In Tranquility I erased the most of the sky,in Lighthouses I removed everything but the rocks. I dragged the rock layer onto the Tranquility image and positioned it in the lower quadrant. / Then I took a good look and saw in my minds eye what I needed for a backdrop and also the colors. Leaving the image on the right side of the screen,I opened my 3D rendering program Artmatic Voyager ( this is a Mac only program) / I then spent about 4 hours building and rendering an Alien Background. I always render at the highest possible resolution and saving as a PICT file (on my machine that can take up to 6-7 hours,this one took 2 hours.) Closing the Artmatic program and reopening the render in Photoshop,I then dragged it onto the transparent layer. Now I needed lighthouses and I didn’t want to use the one in Lu’s image. / Needed something a bit more alien. So I opened Infinity-D,and built myself 2 lighthouses,saving as psd transparent files. Back in Photoshop I dragged and positioned both lighthouse layers onto the Tranquility photo. Then feathered and cloned all the edges of all layers until they were blended to my satisfaction. I then opened my filters and chose the “Old Photo Color” filter,tweeked,painted,erased the image then set the filter. The filters I use are nik Color Efex Pro. It still needed something…FOG.. Opened a “Graduated Fog” filter adding just a little fog with the paint brush on the horizon,this also goes aways to hiding any harsh edges in that area. Almost done… Added a bit of brilliance to the image. Thats it and well worth the effort…another fine alien creation. “May you always create well and prosper” Alienvisitor’s Imagi – Nation* David (AV)
Peggy’s Cove lighthouse just oustide of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
This was one of the most spectacular sunsets I have witnessed in a long time and Scott and I were lucky enough to be at Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia when it occurred. At first I was hoping these two love birds would get out of my shot but then I realized they added to it… I hope you enjoy it!
[Double Exposure Project #1 – Oregon and San Diego Exposed] This is one of the images produced through double exposing a roll of film with my amazingly talented, generous, and dear friend Matt Adamik. This was our first attempt at working with this process and I am in love with every image. Matt lives in Oregon and I live in San Diego. He shot the roll first, mailed it to me, and I shot over top his photos. Neither of us knew what the other was shooting. The results are astounding and breathtaking. And fun! We will be collaborating on many more double exposure projects in the very near future. A wonderful way to bring Oregon and San Diego together, as well as the styles and friendships of two photographers. I am absolutely in love with this type of photography! I highly recommend it for everyone. Thank you Matt for everything! Goggles Down!

Peggyy’s Cove – Nova Scotia – Canada
The lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada, is one of the most photographed seascapes on the Atlantic coast. / The never ending pounding surf has worn the bare rocks smooth and it invites the visitor to wander and explore. But be careful many have been surprised by a bigger than normal wave that has washed people of the rocks. / The lighthouse has served a valuable purpose in warning the mariners of the dangerous rocks.
An especially beautiful evening at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, with a quiet Atlantic Ocean and a beautiful flaming sunset.I’ve already posted one from the same evening (“Fireball”) and I thought it would be interesting to silhouette the lighthouse against the setting sun. I waited until there were no people about,I felt it would be an intrusion on the serenity of the scene. Sony DSCF828 camera,

9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper This is a tribute to Jerry Garcia. I was recently watching a video of him singing “Peggy O” in 1994. He gets very emotional during the song and it brought tears to my eyes. This show was about one year before he died. By 1994 The Grateful Dead had become a money-making machine. My generation was kind of the last generation Jerry sung to (those of us in our thirties now). / Jerry Garcia became a musician at a very crucial time in American history. He was part of the whole folk music movement that included Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and a host of other greats. These musicians were discovering the wealth of music that came from the past and they only wanted to share the songs with the world. / “Peggy O” is one of those old ballads that probably made Jerry fall in love with music. The oldest version being an old Scottish ballad. As Jerry sings it in 1994 I think he is feeling some regret for what was lost. Whatever he was feeling, when I watch this video I feel the beauty of the song. / This is Peggy O, a woman like a dove. She wouldn’t marry sweet William because he was only a soldier. William gets angry and dies in battle. I really love folk music because it is mythical in nature. / I hope you are still singing this song somewhere Jerry!!!!! link to Jerry singing Peggy O
