Water over the…
Ever since the first day I started exploring the dam at Delta Lake I have wanted to capture an image with the water flowing over the dam. I realized Monday night after capturing the sunset images that the water was probably high enough in the lake to make this a possibility. Sure enough, I drove past the dam on my way home and the conditions were right!
I made up my mind as I drove home to return Tuesday after work. Of course the weather decided to spoil my chances. My daughter had a dentist appointment late in the afternoon yesterday so I asked her if she was up for a small adventure rather than go straight home. There was still a slight sprinkle in the air but I wasn’t positive the rain would wait for after dinner. We were able to stay for about 15 minutes before we had to get back to the car.
It was such a cool thing to see (and hear)!

Slow
Late yesterday afternoon I went down to the creek behind the house to play with some long exposures. I broke out the 2-stop ND filter to see what I could capture. Definitely had a great time exploring the creek bed. I now know I need more filter and I definitely want to get to a place with more motion, like a lake shore or beach along the ocean. I think a trip is in order…

Power of Water
Non-typical January day in the Oriskany Creek. The past couple of days have been full of unseasonably warm weather and rain. The snow is gone and the water is making the dash to the low lands. It is hard to believe but I was in the middle of all that exactly one week ago photographing the snow covered creek in below zero temps. I wonder what tomorrow will be like?

Tarrytown Light
When I realized my daughter would need to make a trip to Pace University for the FTC Robotics competition I started searching on the web for what would be available to explore with my camera. As I mentioned in a previous post I didn’t research deep enough and feel I missed some great opportunities but too late to cry about that any more. The very first attraction I found that I wanted to capture was the Tarrytown Light.
The Tarrytown Light is a small lighthouse on the east side of the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, NY. The main attraction for me, besides just being a cool lighthouse, was the ability to have the Tappan Zee bridge in the background with the lighthouse. I thought there would be some great possibilities for images. One of my original ideas was to get a late evening, early night capture with the bridge lights in the background and maybe even some light reflections off the water.
I did manage to find the Kingsland Point Park which would allow me to get a clear view of both the lighthouse and bridge but when I arrived after dropping my daughter off at the college the first night it was too dark without any park lights to allow me to venture far from the car. The next morning was a much better time for my first trip through the park and resulted in the images below. If it wasn’t almost four hours from my house I would be heading back some time soon to grab that night view.
I will also have to keep an eye on the status of some construction occurring near the lighthouse as it did prevent me from getting closer. Other images I have found on the web appear to be from a very close vantage point and there was a walkway that brings you right past the lighthouse. I’m thinking a weekend trip later in the year!

River Ice
While my daughter was getting ready for the FTC Robotics competition at Pace University I went exploring around Sleepy Hollow, NY. I did some pre-visit research but apparently not enough. As I was waiting for the gates to the Kingsland Point County Park to open I parked at the Philipse Manor Railroad Station and captured a few pictures of the partially frozen Hudson River. I really liked the ice and the view of the Tappan Zee bridge.
If I had just done a 180 from where these two pictures were taken I could have captured the historic railroad station which is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. I had such a list of places to see in a short period of time but now I feel I really missed out on some great images. I managed to capture the views on my list (still to be processed) but now I want to make the 4 hour drive again to finish my exploring.
