I wasn’t really happy with the clouds and sky in this shot, but I’d been trying to capture more how the light reacted with the grass and moss along the tree-line. I’m fairly satisfied with the overall shot here, though it still didn’t fully capture the golden “feeling” of being there in that moment. Sunsets […]
Beach
Frozen Sand
I will always like Lake Superior better, but Lake Michigan often does a good close second, depending on the location. This was taken at a common rest stop when I’m traveling to or from the U.P., at Naubinway Public Beach off of US2. One of the many random photography tips I’d read online at some […]
Cloudy Shores
Taken on a common rest-stop on my drive back from the U.P. – it lacks the foreground object I’d have liked there to have been, but what I liked was the white reflection in the wet beach of the clouds… it seemed an interesting combination of similarity and opposites in terms of colors and textures. […]
Driftwood Sky
I was tempted to photoshop some cooler waves into this… Lake Superior often messes with me. When I’m not there, I see photos posted on Facebook where the waves are several feet high, but as soon as I roll into town she calms right down. When you’re only in town for a few days, it’s […]
Smooth Shores
There were several different framings of similar shots that I got on an evening after I’d checked into my motel. (Lake Superior was right on the other side of the road, so I of course had to take advantage of the lower evening light for some long exposure images.) I’d been playing with the settings, […]
Persistence
While staying at the Seacoast Resort on a recent trip to the U.P., I took the opportunity to wander across the road to the Lake Superior shoreline there. The evening I checked in, the lighting was perfect for some longer exposure shots of the waves. While the “spaghetti effect” with waterfalls is very commonly seen, […]
Wet Ball
Sometimes I just have too much fun playing with my balls. Well, after the one was so much fun, I had to get more, and now I’m waiting anxiously for my next chance to get to a thawed out Lake Superior shoreline so I can put my balls in the water and take pictures of […]
Sand Drifts
I often stop along the shore of both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior when I travel back and forth from the U.P. – in this case I hadn’t actually intended to stop on this stretch of US2, but the snow and sand patterns caught my eye and I had to get a few shots. I […]
Shell Sky
Lake Superior is my favorite, but on most trips I have fun stopping along Lake Michigan (in the Upper Peninsula) to stretch my legs and wander with my camera. I had some trouble getting the focus I wanted on this shot so ended up using a composite of two different shots. Still didn’t quite get […]
