We were just about to head to dinner after shooting Gannets on Ile Bonaventure in the Gaspe region of Quebec. I had photographed this scene at the base of Rocher Perce many times in the past so I didn't think I needed to shoot it again. I saw the light and mentioned to Lori that maybe I should just have a quick look and see if I should shoot. Otherwise, I would fret and wonder if I was missing something all though dinner. As usual, dinner would have to wait. At low-tide you can walk on the ocean floor out to and part way around this beautiful rock. We had timed it perfectly with wonderful light and a reflection in the tidal pools. I was standing in shadow so I spot metered off the side of the rock, opened up 2 stops and used the filter to hold back the top part of the exposure. I have always loved the colour of this image. That fact that there are 14 people at the base helps to give Perce scale.
