The other day, on kind of the spur of the moment, I decided I needed to go out to catch a sunset. We had just set the clocks forward for DST and I was at work with the sun shining very brightly all day long. So I decided I would have enough time to go home, walk the dog, change clothes, grab my gear and travel about 45 min to a NY State Park called Chimney Bluffs on Lake Ontario. The bluffs are huge spires of rock, dirt and clay along the lake shore. There is a trail along the lake shore below the bluffs and there is also a bluff trail along the top side of the bluffs. It was my first trip out there, so I quickly looked it over and decided to go up top. Once up there I set up, then moved, then moved again and then moved back to the second spot. Anyway, I digress, my goal was to capture a spectacular sunset, which I did get some sunset shots, but the sun just wasn't exactly where I wanted it and I didn't see anywhere I could move to that would give me that vantage point. But in looking around I took some shots with the sun at my back, and actually, I think I like these better than the sunsets I got. What I like about this photograph is that it has a nice warm feel from the sun shine on the bluff face, to the cool contrasting feel of the ice and snow covering Lake Ontario below along with a superbly blue sky that is somewhat enhanced with a polarizing filter. Anyway I have attached my favorite of the ones I got that day and I think I will be back again to see what I can get. Enjoy!!
