Mirror Lake at Night
Today’s Photo of the Day is one of the many shots of The Ohio State University that I have in my archive – a handheld night shot of Mirror Lake near the South Oval of the OSU campus.

Low light photography is very fun but it is always tricky, especially when shooting handheld with no tripod or monopod and using a non image stabilized lens or camera.
But, all that aside, I captured a pretty nice shot that has a nice cool, relaxing feel to it so I’m happy. 🙂
If you’re not familiar with Mirror Lake here is a page with far more history about it than you could ever hope to retain: The OSU Mirror Lake Hollow.
One of the favorite OSU v. Michigan football game traditions was to jump into Mirror Lake on the Thursday night before the Big Game. I witnessed it a few times but never participated… Really! It is just a few deep, after all. You might sprain your ankle!
Anyway, I thought this would be a good photo to end the week on since it’s a night shot and the week is winding down to a close.

I hope you enjoyed Mirror Lake and have a great weekend!
