Manistee River Winter-.jpg

This image was made December 21, 2018 northwest of my hometown of Manton, MI. It was a mild December week in NW Northern Michigan in its Lower Peninsula, but old Mother Nature was about to unleash and fill the land with a beautiful, wintry mix.

 

I was photographing feasting bald eagles down the road when the gray clouds finally let loose their precipitation (by morning would turn into about 8 beautiful, snowy inches). I hurried down the road to the beautiful Manistee River and set up to shoot a long exposure panorama of this beautiful scene soon after the snow had started falling. It turned into this soft palette of an image with a smoothed river, giving the image more mood. I'm plenty happy with it, and though I live in Metro Detroit, I'm happy this was made near my original neck of the woods.
