Embracing the Unexpected

Galen Weld September 29, 2016

This past weekend I was lucky to escape the stress of Ithaca and spend some time in the Adirondacks, my adoptive mountain-range-away-from-home. I camped on top of Saint Regis Mountain, as I am fond of doing, and watched the sunrise Sunday morning - normally, I stick to fairly telephoto shots of the surrounding ponds and lakes, but this time I wanted to try something different, so I used this wide-angle lens and put the sun in my frame. Initially, I thought that the dust spots on my lens ruined the image, but over time, it's grown on me. Is it one of my favorite images I've taken? Absolutely not, but a good reminder to try something new and be open minded about your results.
