  • The culmination of a moon setting, the sun rising, fog, a lake reflection, a silhouette, and the end of autumn peak colors allowed for quite a scene to photograph. It was a tricky one too, especially doing it in a single frame without overprocessing the image in post-processing. The additional challenge of keeping the moon sharp but being able to pick up the colors of the rest of the scene and maintain a silhouette.

  • I was in my cousin's boat with camera in tow for the purpose of capturing a pair of bald eagles that were nesting in a tree near the water.  I didn't have enough lens to take proper pictures of the eagles so on our journey back, I photographed the surrounding area and came across this image. The sun was setting and I noticed this pattern in the water caused by the wake of the boat and the colors of the sky reflecting off the water.  It's very peaceful and serene to me.

  • I arrived in the upper peninsula of Michigan. It was foggy and misty with a feels like temperature of 26° F. My hope was to be able to get out to the pictured area of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. That hope was dashed by the 20 MPH sustained winds peaking up to 30 MPH. Certainly not kayaking or wading weather. I went down to Miner’s Beach where there were heavy clouds and heavy surf. The forecast said there would be a chance of clearing right at unset. So I stood there photographing what I could while standing on a normally sandy beach that was underwater two feet every time the waves came in along with fighting the wind. I am glad I waited.

  • It was a balmy 35 degrees (Fahrenheit) as I approached this scene. Gloves being off for any period of time would prevent me from operating my camera. The lake temperature was warmer than the air temperature and is the reason there is a slight fog on the water. The colors and clear sky were definitely worth it.

  • As the water freezes in subzero temperatures along the Lake Michigan coast it attempts to form pancake ice.  The constant waves prevent it from freezing completely but provide enough resistance to clash with the outgoing waves.  This cyclical movement creates the spray seen here.
