Viewfinder: Foggy Morning in Stratton Brook Park

Viewfinder is a new weekly feature that will highlight photography by Simsbury's amateur and professional photographers. With the help of the Simsbury Camera Club, which will choose the weekly photograph, we hope to explore Simsbury's creative side.

This week's photograph was taken by Alene Galin.

About the Photograph

"Foggy Morning in Stratton Brook Park" presented itself to me as I walked the trail of Simsbury's state park. The enchantment of a foggy days poses a special challenge that dared me to see what I could capture through the lens. I was attracted to the way the fog bounced off the sunlight through the trees and the mood it created that was captured in the resulting photograph.

About the Photographer

Even though I've been taking pictures for many years, joining the Simsbury Camera Club has given me new tools I have been searching for to communicate through photography. I am learning techniques for better pictures and new ideas for editing as well.  As a 40-year resident of Simsbury, I continue to explore with a new sense of discovery that reveals the extraordinary in familiar surroundings.

The Simsbury Camera Club is a local group of professional and non-professional photography enthusiasts. Founded in 1955 the club is interested in "enhancing the photographic skills" of members, according to their website.
