Another from the Sugarloaf trip, except not from Sugarloaf – this one from Jay Peak, VT. Nice place to ski with lots of ungroomed, free to ski area. I’m pretty sure we made several ventures through the center of all those trees over the course of the day. Pictures taken… Continue reading
Given our currently pathetic winter showing (I haven’t bothered putting snow tires on yet) here’s some inspiration from a different part of the country. From a trip to Sugarloaf, ME. Pictures taken with Canon Rebel 300D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 18mm, f/11 & f/13, 1/320 & 1/400 sec shutter, ISO… Continue reading
I was looking for a good past shot from Labor Day weekend – specifically hoping to find one of when we paddled under the Mackinac Bridge during the annual bridge walk. But, I had no good pictures from those events – at least not taken from the water. So, instead,… Continue reading
A mallard that was found on MSU’s campus near the Red Cedar wave. I was actually hanging around taking pictures of some friends kayaking on the wave but got distracted by the wildlife. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/6.3, 1/320 sec shutter, ISO 800
Happy 4th of July! More of a snapshot than a well composed photo, but this is the Au Sable Light House in Pictured Rocks. Still, it ended up pretty simple and clean so I like it. I didn’t plan it to be the 4th of July pic, and looking at… Continue reading
The dunes along Lake Superior’s Southern shoreline in Pictured Rocks taken from somewhere along the hike to the Au Sable Light House. Picture taken with Canon 300D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 54mm, f/12, 1/320 sec, ISO 100
The title of this one should be something like “stay off the damn water.” Picture taken from Mosquito Chapel Beach in Pictured Rocks which is about 8 miles from where we started the trip. There was some lightning and we actually did have to stay off the water for a… Continue reading
A special picture from an abandoned Skillagalee Island (aka Ile aux Galets) – a land of bird carnage and feces. There’s the dilapidated lighthouse, one dead tree, 3000 birds and at one moment three silly kayakers on this island. There’s really no reason you’d ever need to visit, so here’s a… Continue reading
A shot from our camp site in Lake Superior Provincial Park. I believe that formation out there is Devil’s Chair, of which, I’m sure there are better pictures – like ones where it’s more than a silhouette. I did a pretty solid amount of saturation adjustment to this one and… Continue reading
Yellow iris. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 55mm, f/5.6, 1/125 sec, ISO 100.
