Massachusetts Quabbin Reservoir Photography

Quabbin Reservoir is the largest inland body of water in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is one of the primary water supply to the Boston area. It was one stop I had on my bucket list for years and finally planned in a stop on one of my 2013 fall foliage photo tours throughout New England. Autumn colors were not at peak at the time but good colors were. I made my way up the observation tower and boy that view did not disappoint! Equipped with a 70-200mmtelezoom lens and a 1.4x tele-converter I was able to focus in on Mount Monadnock, Mount Pomeroy, Mount Zion, Little Quabbin and the Battle Dam; all shown in this landscape photography image from the reservoir.

A polarizing filter boosted colors and I used my camera bag as a tripod alternative for better photography quality. During post processing I removed any dust spots, minimally adjusted color saturation, contrast, lighting before sharpening the final image of Quabbin Reservoir.

Autumn begins with a subtle change in ...

Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light, with skies a deeper blue, and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled. The season comes full with the first frost, the disappearance of migrant birds, and the harvesting of the season's last crops. ~ Glenn Wolff and Jerry Dennis

The quote is from Glenn Wolff's and Jerry Dennis book: "It's Raining Frogs and Fishes : Four Seasons of Natural Phenomena and Oddities of the Sky" which has just been released in an updated edition.
