Superior

Spending time near Lake Superior is always good for my soul. No matter what it is good relaxing medicine and the only side effect is that you want more. I spent a good deal of time just reading, relaxing, and going out to take photos. I'm hoping you'll enjoy some of the images I was able to capture.

Everyone was talking about the full moon that was to occur on Friday the 13th so I was hoping for clear enough weather to try and photograph the event. Nighttime photography is still something that I'm working on so I wasn't sure what kind of images I would be able to capture.

 "Blue Fin Dinner"

Day 2 - Onion River and Cascade River

Day 3 - Temperance River
 "Upper Temperance River"


I captured the image below right as a large storm was moving into the area. It had been raining off and on all morning and I was shooting photos during the lulls. Shortly after this photo and several others the sky quickly darkened and it began to rain quite heavily. I was able to get my camera into a waterproof bag before it got too wet. I slung my large aluminum Bogen tripod over my shoulder and made hasty retreat back to the car. Upon entering the woods on a narrow wet trail. I could sense something was amiss, then, without warning a huge flash of light lit up the forest around me and it was immediately followed by a deafening clap of thunder. Too close for comfort!!

"Before the Lightning"
