Out with the old...2017...

One of the last photo projects I did for 2017 was a trip across the northern part of the Lake in Central Park during the holidays.  The leaves were gone leaving only the dark shapes of barren trees abstracted by the current of the water. Many species of waterfowl make this area of the Lake a year-round home.

I had one camera, my Fuji X-Pro2, and one lens, the Fuji 16-135mm zoom. I particularly liked the patterns -- both the reflections of trees and the wakes of the birds -- that formed in the water currents around the birds. I used these water patterns as the primary element in my compositions.
