Description
After having a very productive photo session up at the Palmer Hill Lookout, I turned my attention to the Pepacton Reservoir, also known as the Downsville Reservoir in Delaware County which is located on the East Branch of the Delaware River in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
Having learned my lesson of not having a DEC Access Permit back in 2015, I have since made sure to have one so that I can be on their property for recreational purposes, as long as I do not approach the area by a spillway (which are monitored closely since 9/11).
I pulled off of State Route 30 to shoot from two different locations, this being the first one, where there is a boat launch for fishing.
As it was still very early in the morning, there were only two fisherman and myself taking advantage of the moody sky, autumn color, cool air and the silence of the reservoir.
The storm from the overnight hours was still hanging around, somewhat stubbornly giving way to clearing skies of an approaching high pressure system.
The light was even, with a filtered sun trying to poke its head through the cloud deck just enough to illuminate the colorful foliage that surrounded the reservoir.
My compostional goal was to utilize the fence as a framing element to hopefully draw the viewers eye into the main part of the image. That being the kaleidoscopic foliage on the mountains and hills that encompass the Pepacton Reservoir. Although not the main subject, the fisherman located in the middle right of the photo adds even more interest to this composition.
I am honored to be able to offer my photography of the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York and beyond for all of your purchasing considerations.
All of my photographs are available as prints, wall art, home decor, apparel, weekend bags, etc and are NOW offered with a canvas border, title, electronic signature and the year it was taken in 'The Signature Series Gallery'. You may continue to buy my photographs as they have always been available prior in all of my other galleries as well.
