While I have had many photos published in my hometown’s local paper, this month marks the first time I have had one of my photos in a regional publication. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation publishes a bi-monthly magazine called The Conservationist which has a circulation of about 90,000. I was contacted by them about a photo I took a couple of years ago when I visited Lake George, New York and explored Prospect Mountain. The article is a personal account of past visits to Prospect Mountain, especially in the autumn to see the beautiful fall colors.

Below is one of two photos of mine chosen to accompany the article.
Visitors can take the continuously running "viewmobile" from Prospect Mountain's third lookout to the summit. (Photo by Scott Thomas Photography)
The photo was taken with a Nikon D70 and 18-200VR lens. One does not need expensive equipment to create photos publishers will need and use.
