Another example of “ninja street photography” for when you’re too shy to let people know you’re taking photos of them in public. It might be easy to miss in the shot, but there’s a couple here watching the sunset. One of the things you can almost always find at Marquette’s Presque Isle. I was also […]
Upper Michigan
The Big Mack
I’ve taken a lot of shots of the bridge connecting the two parts of Michigan, but always while taking a stop from travelling. As a result, I’ve not yet had the ideal weather for a shot that I’m truly happy with. This particular time I’d stopped, I’d decided I wanted to try to find something […]
Wild Shoreline
One a recent trip back to the U.P. I decided to drive out along some backroads I hadn’t been on in over 25 years. I found myself north of Deer Lake and took this photo next to the boat ramp that was put in when I was a kid. (The lake is on the other […]
Shared Sunset
I’m always happy when I can combine silhouettes with sunsets. This was yet another shot taken at Presque Isle in Marquette, on a trip back home. I think another reason I’m drawn to it (besides having grown up visiting this spot) is that I find silhouettes of couples enjoying the sunset to be a romantic […]
Golden Hour Beach
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 […]
Toward the Docks
I often have mixed feelings about taking photos of the big ore boats often seen on Lake Superior. It’s not uncommon to see a bunch of people taking photos when the boats are coming into harbor or leaving. For myself, I don’t find the boats themselves that interesting to look at in detail. But with […]
Hanging On
I’ve always liked shooting exposed roots, especially when they are clinging to rock. This was along the cliff edge of Presque Isle on Lake Superior… to my eye it looks like the tree has been sliding toward the water as the cliff erodes, but the roots are growing back to try to hang on. Who […]
Winter Waving
What looks colder than water splashing around ice and snow? Lake Superior can be a frigid thing. I’ve always been drawn to the opposite of the “spaghetti” style of shooting water (used often on waterfalls)… opposite in that by using a faster shutter speed, the water gets broken into particles and creates all kinds of […]
Evening Pine Halo
Just more of my fascination with silhouettes. Most people don’t take a photo of the sunset and then block the sun, lol. I liked the patterns of light and dark with this one.
