Barge Canal, Herkimer, NY
Waterfront Grille – Portfolio Blog
Although the thermometer was reading zero degrees I had a thought for a sunrise image that I wanted to capture. Checking the weather and the Photographer’s Ephemeris, I felt today was a good day to try. There is a area along the barge canal in Herkimer, NY that has been developed and includes the Waterfront Grille. Looking at Google Maps earlier in the week had me thinking I would be able to get next to the canal, have the restaurant and the sunrise over the water in the same view. I got lucky with the open water still in the canal as well as the great chunks of broken ice along the edge. Normally, on my sunset images I have the sun in the scene but for some reason I love the colors in the hour before sunrise and never stick around to capture the actual sun… LOL

I’ll have to go look see what Photographer’s Ephemeris is.
It is a cool app for show the location of the sun/moon rise and set. You can see where it will occur and plan your pictures. Also gives accurate times for each event.
