1000 Islands
Clayton, NY
I had the privilege of attending the wedding of a friend I worked with at my previous job this past weekend. The ceremony and reception were at the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel in Clayton, NY. Clayton is in the 1000 islands region of upstate New York and the hotel is right on the St. Lawrence river. It was a beautiful location.
I also had the opportunity to spend some time with another friend from my previous job and his wife. We all had a really good time. The wedding was great and the reception was a lot of fun with good food, music and amazing company. It was the sort of weekend I was looking for after a long summer. It also allowed my to grab some pictures of the area at sunset and sunrise. I have never been to the St. Lawrence river and it was better than I expected. Next time I go up North I will plan on exploring even more.

Summer Lost
Delta Lake State Park
Labor Day weekend typically marks the end of the summer season at Delta Lake State Park. I’ll be going up to the 1000 Islands area of New York today for a wedding and will miss the annual bonfire on the beach but I did manage to get over to the park and capture a beautiful sunset image. The swimming goggles appear to have been washed up on the shore and they felt like a good statement for the image. Although there have not been a lot of people at the park when I go to find a sunset, after this weekend there will be even less. Next stop… Autumn.

The Playground
Through The Glass – TTG04
Trenton Falls
Mother Nature has been having some fun lately. Hot, humid days and the occasional downpour has limited the time out with the camera. Although I was enjoying my Saturday morning of doing absolutely nothing (because of the rain, I swear!), I decided to head up to my favorite playground to grab some long exposure water images before the sun burned its way through the clouds. The area of the West Canada Creek below Trenton Falls if a perfect spot for me to play. And, if I must admit it, I needed to get my butt off the couch… LOL!
I know I have captured this view before but I really enjoy the “big picture” from the bridge over the creek. I also like when the overflow gate is closed and the water is spilling over the dam. I generally spend a lot of my time climbing around on the rocks to the right looking for interesting water patterns. This time I broke out the Lensball…

I found a small crevice with water pooled in it that pointed right at the flow control gatehouse. My initial thought was to use the 40-150mm lens and grab a compressed view. This first image is the result. The sun managed to be looking out from behind the clouds at the time but I think it adds a little to the image. Although I was going for the compression the zoom lens creates and I love the colors, I wasn’t able to bring the Lensball into the frame any larger (this was due to where I needed the camera to get the angle I wanted).

The second attempt is with the wide angle lens placed about six inches from the Lensball. This allowed me to enlarge the look of the ball, bring in more of the background and capture some of the reflection of the Lensball in the water. I also provided some shade to reduce the glare. If you look close you can see my reflection in the Lensball… 🙂

Delta Lake Dam
Through the Glass – TTG02
I am having a lot of fun using the Lensball in my images. I decided I should create its own series. So I went back to the first post where I names this series (unknowingly) and created post number one. This is now the second in this new series, Through the Glass. I rolled out of bed a little later than normal since I decided to call this my off day at the gym, but I was still able to drag my butt over to the Delta Lake dam for some sunrise images. Let me know how you like this series incorporating my new toy…
