One of the stops on our January business trip was at Canal Park, Duluth MN. Our hotel was at the edge of the harbour on Lake Superior. The morning light was so gentle.

Road trip
January finds us on the road as we market our fly-in fishing business in the mid west US. Technology has advanced to the point that we are able to manage our office from our smart phones. The photo below, taken with my iPhone, along with this post is being created and uploaded in a WordPress app!
thanks-giving

Falling leaves and waterfalls….
Here’s Raleigh Falls from the opposite side. With water levels so low, it was easy to step across and shoot a less seen angle. Which side do you like better?
For our de Havilland float plane fans, I have the Otter at the dock at sunset.

The proportionately large tail is exaggerated from this angle.
For specifc screen resolutions, drop down the ‘free calendar’ tab at the top of the page and select October 2012. Happy fall y’all!

This sequence of shots just a little down stream were taken quite late in the day. I wanted to take advantage of less light for slower shutter speeds to give me the silky water look.


I love how purple the rock in the foreground came out in the shot.

Photo tip: when shooting at or after sunset, be sure to have a flashlight along to find your way home!
