As I mentioned in my introduction, I was sidelined for most of the summer last year. As a result 2016 was not my most productive year for capturing new images. But I was able to get back to work in October when I made three quick trips: to the Western Upper Peninsula; to Mackinac Island; and along the coast of Lake Michigan. I've posted a
selection of new images to my website. Here are a few samples:
A series of dramatic waterfalls are the highlight of the Black River National Scenic Byway in the western Upper Peninsula. I arrived at Rainbow Falls, the last before Lake Superior, just as the sun was setting. The one-second exposure created a pleasing blur in the fast moving water.
Fall foliage and deep blue sky are reflected in the waters of the Ontonagon River just above Bond Falls. A 1/8th-second exposure was enough to blur the water in the fast moving stream.
A statue of Father Jacques Marquette stands in the park below Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island. Father Marquette established a mission at Saint Ignace, just west of the island, in 1671.
Crystal clear water laps on the rocky shore of Mackinac Island.
The late afternoon sun glistens on Lake Michigan at Michigan's Hoffmaster State Park.
The sun sets on an unseasonably warm November day in Ludington.
A crescent moon is about to set over Lake Michigan.
