Description

I set out to capture the comet reflecting on water which I knew was a tall order. I searched for a lake or a body of water protected from waves and the correct orientation to look North West over for the best chance of a reflection. The Bermuda Lagoon on the far West end of Westport seemed to fit the bill. It's oval shape faces North West and there is only a small inlet to the Sound. My first visit to the lagoon turned out to be a wash with thunder clouds to the North and West. I got lots of great shots of lightning and illuminated clouds but no comet. The second night was clear and pretty successful. This is a 30 second exposure taken around 10pm. Not even close to getting a reflection owing to the NYC light dome fall off but a pleasing result none the less.
