Red House Lake (Allegheny State Park) NY, USA
Another night in the books and a location I was very curious about just because it was apparently under bortle 4 skies but it was right next to bortle 3 so I felt like it was very dark here. I also don't usually take silhouette foreground photos anymore but this night showed me as I was trying to get a well exposed foreground that I should try and do silhouettes here and there again. It was not my plan to do so which is why i decided to keep the foreground darker. I decided to dig out the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens and give it a try this night. I'm not really a fan of this lens anymore. It served it's purpose when I was a few years into nightscapes but since then other 14mm's have become sharper and the f-stops wider. But for what I had to work with I still think this came out pretty decent. Allegheny State Park really is a cool place to take nightscape images! I will be here more often for sure in the future.
