Waterside Beach Time-Lapse, Bay of Fundy, NB

Four-camera time-lapse sequence of the Bay of Fundy tide rising at Waterside Beach, New Brunswick, Canada, September 2, 2011. The 6:13 hour tide has been compressed into 2:21 minutes.
Located on the Bay of Fundy scenic route 915 in southern New Brunswick, Waterside Beach is certainly Albert County's most magnificent expanse of sandy beach (nearly 2 km long) and yet it remains somewhat unknown by tourists because there is no large commercial interest promoting in. The main part of the beach is separated from the road by a beautiful salt marsh area, well known to birdwatchers, while the other side is hidden from view (from the road) by red sandstone cliffs.
My vantage point was at the beginning of the cliffs where you can get a wonderful panoramic view of the beach. However, this 180° view also presented a challenge since I could not show it all in a single view and I certainly didn't want to leave any of it out. I ended up using 4 time-lapse cameras to take in the entire view and also added some highlights with a video camera.
When I started at low tide at 9:36AM, the view of the beach to the east (left) was backlit, while the beach view west (right) was more front lit. By the time high tide arrived at 3:50PM the lighting had reversed. The colour looked quite different from each view, depending on the angle of the sun, and it turned out to be quite a challenge to get the different views to look more similar in colour. I hope you enjoy seeing all of the different aspects of the beach in my short video.
