Bellamy Harbor, Rome, NY

It has been a long week. New head honcho at work. Upcoming audit. General craziness.

So, when I headed to work Friday morning and saw there was fog permeating the city, I didn’t make that left turn. I drove down to the Bellamy Harbor. The sun had already risen and the golden light was illuminating the park through the haze.

I was losing the race though, as the sky was clearing quicker than I could get to my “go-to” spot. Still, it was a beautiful morning and any image would be different than I normally capture. Typically, my sunrise images are of the colors prior to the sun making an appearance.

I was able to get an image with the sun shrouded in the haze and peeking over the trees. I stopped down my aperture to f/14 (the sweet spot of my lens is f/8 to f/11) so the sunburst would be enhanced. I only captured a few images but was positive I grabbed a winner.

Time to get to work…
