13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Champagne Bubbles

During a nor'easter storm, mist hit the lens as I took a long exposure image of the fishing pier in Ocean Grove, NJ. The mist created orb like objects by catching the light from the lampost in the foreground. The orbs reminded me of champagne bubbles and that is how I came up with the title of the image.
