Flash Point: Shawn Malone’s favorite, toughest Great Lakes shots

By |

We asked Great Lakes photographers to send us their favorite and toughest Great Lakes shot. Shawn Malone of Lake Superior Photography sent us this photo. Northern Lights

The big reason this photo was so difficult to photograph is normally our northern lights displays are well to the north and low to the horizon. This allows for one to pre-plan compositions for this night sky photography. It’s very necessary to do this during the day since you can’t see much at night!

Flash Point: Scott Thomas’s favorite Great Lakes shot

We asked Great Lakes photographers to send us their favorite and toughest Great Lakes shot. Scott Thomas of Scott Thomas photography sent us this photo. Star Burst Sunset

A favorite daily ritual of people who live or vacation along the eastern shore of Lake Ontario is coming down to the beach each evening to watch the sunset from spring to fall. Most nights the show is spectacular with deep colors that paint any clouds in the sky the lower the Sun gets on the horizon. I have witnessed many nights Nature was given a standing ovation for her efforts.

Flash Point: Tim Trombley’s toughest Great Lakes photos

By |

We asked Great Lakes photographers to send us their favorite and toughest Great Lakes shot. Tim Trombley of Great Lakes Photography sent us these pictures of his toughest shots. North Windows

This cave was only accessible by kayak. I had to land way down the shoreline and got wet feet making my way inside. Once there, the shot required me to crouch and back into the sandstone recesses allowing sand to drop down my collar.

Flash Point: Paul Sundberg’s favorite, toughest Great Lakes shot

We asked Great Lakes photographers to send us their favorite and toughest Great Lakes shot. Paul Sundberg of Paul Sundberg Photography sent us these photos of before and after a winter storm in Minnesota. One of my favorite, but toughest, outdoor photo adventures
Paul Sundberg, Paul Sundberg Photography

In April of 2003 we experienced a huge storm over Lake Superior. Northeast winds came off the lake at up to 60 mph creating massive waves that collided with the rocky shoreline. Since the temperature was below freezing the spray from these waves started to cover the trees and shrubs with layers of ice.
