Description
After several hours of night photography in and around the city of Syracuse, NY, I'd had my fill and was heading toward home. It was a frigid winters night, but the air was still and the sky was clear. Approaching Onondaga Lake, I was immediately drawn to the colors beaming from the shoreline. The lake had been turned into a work of art!
Worn out and cold, I made a last second decision to turn off the highway and find a location to capture some photographs. I started near the shoreline and felt I had captured what the lake had to offer. As I warmed up and began to pull away, I just had to check out the view from a higher point. I drove up the nearest parking area, pulled my gear out once again and started up the pathway to the end of the west shore creekwalk overlook.
The view was inspiring, so rich with color and light. For a moment, I almost forgot how cold I really was. Taking a series of photos, I specifically wanted to capture the Honeywell Onondaga Lake Visitors Center in the foreground, with the beauty of the lake and city in the background. The perspective was found when I lay on the ground, under the safety railing and carefully captured four exposures. One exposure for each quadrant of the final image, which I would later stitch together and process to create this one, beautiful scene.
Fingers numb, body wet and shivering, cell phone dead, I packed up and found my way home. I'm very happy that I resisted passing this by and was able to capture such a special scene.
This will make a unique piece, that will capture the attention of anyone who sees it. Prints on any media will be wonderful, but I do recommend that you consider metal or acrylic to bring out the vivid colors and detail. If you have a custom requirement, please contact me at eRegal@eRegalStudio.com. I will be happy to prepare and supply the appropriately sized file for your wall or space. Would make a spectacular wall covering too! Digital licencing is also available.
