I woke up before the crack of dawn, eager to embark on my journey to capture the perfect photo of Lake Keowee.
I looked outside and it was not just dark out, but it was also blanketed in a thick layer of heavy dense fog. It was a frigid late December morning. We had already lined up and paid a guide to show us the lake, so we had to go out. Maybe the fog would lift?
As I made my way to the lake, the surroundings were shrouded in the thickest blanket of fog I had ever seen. The air was heavy and wet. It was so dense that visibility was reduced to a mere few feet.
We boarded the boat, wrapped up in winter coats, hats and blankets, and we began to cruise around the lake. We could not even see the shore and had to proceed at a slower pace because we could not see other boats until we were almost on top of them.
I spent hours waiting, watching, and observing as the fog danced around the lake. It was almost as if the lake was a living and breathing entity, and the fog was its cloak, shrouding it in mystery and intrigue.
As the morning progressed, there was a moment where the fog began to clear up a bit. I knew that this was the time to take the shot. I set up my camera and waited for the perfect moment.
Suddenly, the fog began to part, revealing the magnificent and serene beauty of Lake Keowee. The sun had just begun to rise, and it was as if the sun’s rays were fighting with the fog. The fog began to thin just a bit. Then more.
I snapped the photo, and I could feel a surge of excitement and triumph rush through my body. I had captured the perfect photo of Lake Keowee, and it was all thanks to my patience and perseverance. It was not what I had anticipated, however, I think it turned out even better than I could have dreamed.
As I walked away from the lake, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over me. I had successfully completed my photography goal, and I had a stunning photo to show for it.
