This is another image from the workshop I attended last week. This was the only morning we had clouds. There was no wind to speak of either. All of the other mornings were clear and calm.
This is on the west shore of Pete’s Lake. There was a small window of time where the sun was able to light the bottom of the clouds, but it didn’t last long.
It has been a long while since my last post. I have not had much time to shoot this summer, but have not completely stopped. But, last week I was out of town at a photography workshop in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The bulk on the time was spent outside shooting, and the weather cooperated. Our coldest morning was 41 degrees, and it was in the 70s most of the week.
One of the evenings was spent at Pictured Rocks National Shoreline, where these small falls make their way to Lake Superior.
While walking my dog this evening, my wife pointed out a dragonfly just sitting on a leaf. I quickly grabbed the camera and was able to get a few images before it flew off. He just hung on the edge of the leaf before tiring of me.

For a series of images, he was using natural light, so I took the opportunity to take a few candid images of the couple with the baby. The photographer was having a hard time getting the baby to look at him, but fortunately, she was fixated on me for a few seconds. During that moment, I was able to capture this image:

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.
