Did you know that Penny Pond is a lake! I didn’t even know it existed until a friend took me to this special place near Mattituck, Long Island. He loves to look at nature and I love to photograph it. It was a cold and dismal day. The light was poor but it was an adventure…new place to explore. As we walked around the quite sizeable pond, I composed images in my viewfinder and snapped away. When I came to this clump of oak trees the light improved and I gasped with delight at what I created with a shallow depth of field.
