Starry Night on Amber Lake was inspired by Starry Night Over the Rhône, by Vincent van Gogh. I was shooting the Big Dipper when a fog bank rolled across this Catskill mountain lake. I noticed the fog was glowing like a desaturated rainbow, my first "fog bow"! I've edited this image many times over the past two years. But was never quite happy with the image's theme. Recently, I saw Starry Night Over the Rhône by van Gogh. I immediately knew what I was after in my image and the idea behind it. van Gogh was inspired by nature, the night sky (the Big Dipper), and the reflective glow of the river. I share those fascinations. Details I'm focused on in this image: -Rolling fog reflecting moonlight, producing a "fog bow" or white rainbow. -The Big Dipper directly above the fogbow -The fogbow's reflection on the lake -Lily pads in the foreground and the Lakehouse lights, give this image depth.
