As I look through some old photos, I occasionally find one that I simply remember like yesterday. The only regret when I see one is how I edited it before posting it on social media. I won’t go as far that it was totally processed incorrectly but rather how my editing skills and style has changed since then. When I looked at this photo I took in 2011, I quickly decided to re-edit it to give it a new life and updated look. Below is the original write-up that I posted back then.
When the leaves change in New England every fall, I always head to Lake Waramaug State Park to shoot the foliage. It is a great place to capture the brilliant colors of the changing seasons, especially if you are looking for great reflections. The lake also has some wonderful amenities such as camping, fishing, swimming and picnicking. The best time to go is in the late afternoon when the sun is shining on the opposite shore. The kids are in school and with the daylight getting shorter, there is a golden glow to everything. The lake is named after an Indian chief of the Wyantenock tribe who had hunting grounds near falls on the Housatonic River.
