The still of the night
Happy Holidays everyone. 2 days ago I a took a really big step in my life. I left my job of fifteen plus years with a great company to start a new life as a full time dad and professional photographer. In the months to come our, house in Long Island NY will be officially sold and our family will be moving upstate somewhere in the triangle of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York to start our new life. I will share a lot more over the next few months, but for now, here is an image from the Catskills. With our head lamps, crampons, and our camera bags, @hamscratch and I traversed down the side of this frozen waterfall in the middle of the night. It is a pure rush to stand before a waterfall in pitch black and hear the roar of water flowing right in front of you. I have been to this location a few times and had an image in my mind. This is that image. I blended two exposures to ensure I didn’t get star trails, but captured as much detail in the foreground and mid-ground as possible. This was a very special adventure and luckily the bears were hibernating. At least that’s what I told myself.
