Emerald Pools & Starlit Skies (Single)
DESCRIPTION
I have recently had a new obsession with Lake Tahoe and it all sprouted from this, my first, trip. It was a spontaneous decision to head up to Lake Tahoe after spending a few days searching for fall foliage around the Mono Lake area. Our group decided to try out some astrophotography out at Bonsai Rock, a famous rock formation more know for its perfect placement for sunset shots. I played with light painting in this photograph because I wanted to capture the glorious teal color the lake is known for while still capturing the milky way. It worked out splendidly because I like to incorporate a heavy foreground element into my shots and by shining the light under the water I was able to achieve this cohesiveness with my style.
