St. Lawrence River View
Robert Moses State Park sits along the northern edge of New York State, offering a sweeping view across the St. Lawrence River toward the Canadian shoreline and the islands scattered between. The wide, open water gives you strong foreground-to-horizon compositions, and the flat shoreline lets you get low to include reflections or rippling water in your frame. Sunset is the standout time to visit, with warm light dropping toward the horizon and the potential for dramatic color across the sky and water. A wide angle lens works well for capturing the full breadth of the scene, though a short telephoto lets you compress the distant islands and far shore for a different feel. The park is easy to access with open grassy areas near the water, so you have room to adjust your position and find your ideal angle. (Massena, New York, United States)
