Delta Lake State Park

Although Saturday might have started a little rough as I watched the clouds win the race to the horizon and obscure my sunrise at Hinckley Reservoir, the day as a whole was wonderful. As sunset approached I debated as to which location would provide me the best view, Delta Lake or Bellamy Harbor Park. In the end, after considering the position of the sun at sunset, I chose to go to Delta Lake.

With the stretch of warmer weather we had experienced I did not expect to see as many people as there were out fishing on the lake. I’m not positive if I would have walked out onto the ice. I hugged the shoreline as I positioned myself to capture the setting sun along with some interesting cracks in the ice. Yeah, definitely sure I will not be walking on the ice any time soon.

Horizon Battle

Hinckley Reservoir

The forecast was for a nice day on Saturday. The view out my window before sunrise was telling a different story. Or maybe the prelude to the day wanted to be different. There were some clouds in the sky but I could see stars too. I took the chance there would be something to photograph at sunrise and headed up to Hinckley Reservoir. As I waited in the car for the color to arrive I watched the race between the clouds and rising sun. The clouds were going to win. I grabbed a few images even though there was still 20 minutes until the actual sunrise. The battle was almost lost…

BTW – turned out to be a great day. The clouds kept on moving.

Peek-A-Boo Sun

Cocoa Beach Pier

I suppose I should make my apologies now. I’m still processing images from my trip to Florida. It is a combination of numerous opportunities for good images and the winter hasn’t settled in here in Upstate NY. I find it hard to go out and photograph when there isn’t a nice layer of white snow covering the brown of late autumn. So for now, you will get a few more Florida images… 🙂

This image is back up at Cocoa Beach. I hung around until the sun broke the horizon. There was a nice layer of clouds low in the sky that I felt would provide some interest as well as catch more of the morning colors. It never hurts to have the pier in silhouette against the sun, nor some nice waves running toward the shore. I almost switched to my telephoto lens but this 40mm top end on my workhorse lens provided the right amount of zoom. Any closer and I think I would have been crowding the frame.
