Lake Erie may be the shallowest of the five Great Lakes, but it's also the most productive. There is nothing like fishing in the walleye capital of the world. Any angler will have a great time here. Fish to catch include Walleye, Yellow Perch, and my favorite the Largemouth Bass.

 

When making a photograph, the things that should be included are what are relevant to the experience the photographer is having. The morning I got this particular shot, I was out at Marblehead Lighthouse State Park with my brother. Even though the lighthouse is what draws most people to this place, it didn't really get my attention this time. What did get my attention was how rough the waves were, and the fishermen on the shores of limestone. These were relevant to the experience I had at the park and so these are what I decided to include in the photograph. The fisherman, and the waves. With the waves being so rough, I had to stay back a bit from the water so my camera wouldn't get wet. After firing a few shots, I was able to get this exposure which pulled it all together for me.
