Everchanging Scenery...
This was one of those days where the scenery never stood still. Storm clouds would roll in, then blues skies would follow. They kept switching, going back and forth. With so much shore and scenery here. We got alot of great images. We never did get rained on though :)
I really like when conditions are constantly changing. Makes for a great challenge of how to capture what we are seeing. There were a few times that were somewhat frustrating. Which made the images that came out great, that much more rewarding.
Minnesota is not on many peoples, come see lists.. For something different though. Lake Superior is quite the site to see. Lake Superior has a surface area of 31,820 square miles (82,413 km2)[1], which is approximately the size of South Carolina. It is huge! There are a few times in the year when people come up to surf the waves on this lake. Superior also has some of the best clear water wreck diving in the world and is quite amazing during the fall.
One thing I want to point out about this image is the orangish/brownish water is from the spring run-off from the hills. There was a ton of rain right before we showed up. We went and shot Gooseberry falls and the falls are brown right now. I actually really like what it has brought to these shorefront images.
