I decided when I woke up this morning to run out and see what I could capture. The morning wasn’t extremely calm, with a slight breeze coming across the lake. I made my way down to Diamond Point Park again, and decided to see what I could do with the rising sun, as I am trying to improve on shooting into the light. I am still impressed by how well the 17-40 handles flare.
I was down at Diamond Point Park around sunrise late last week. The cloud cover was pretty thick, so the sunrise was non-eventful. I did setup and photograph the trail as well as some detail shots of the rocks.
While I was photographing the rocks, two chipmunks were scurrying around looking for something to eat. They were preoccupied enough, they didn’t pay much attention to me. This one got within a few feet when he stopped to eat something. He stayed long enough for me to get a series of images, before moving on to something else.

Read detailsMy wife and I were in Grand Marais over the past few days. One one of the mornings, I worked my way down to the lake for some photographs. One of the things that caught my attention was the way the sun reflected off of the rocks as the waves passed back to the lake.
In between the rain showers we had yesterday, I was able to get out and photograph some of the flowers my wife has around the yard. The lines of the petals caught my attention. I decided to convert them the black and white before taking the photographs, because the color overpowered the lines.
