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.

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

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.

Winters are long and wonderful in the Northland. While there are often snow and ice covered scenes along the shores of Lake Superior there is one unforgettable scene that occurs only once per year that absolutely takes your breath away.
