Lake Erie #10, Landscape Photograph

I spotted this pile o’ rocks way back last summer when I was scouting out locations for upcoming seascape photographs. Oh how I miss summer! Darren and I first discovered Port Glasgow (where this photograph was made) when we took a mini road trip / scouting excursion along the north shore of Lake Erie from Port Stanley to Point Pelee. Such a lovely way to spend some hot lazy days in August. We jumped in the water at every public beach (and a few private ones) along the way. It was magical! I hope to do something equally as memorable this summer.

I’ve wanted to photograph these rocks ever since. You can imagine my surprise when the stars aligned (by stars I mean mother nature) and I was able to capture this image the same evening as Lake Erie #9! Two photographs in one evening! Imagine that! The beautiful light that glows throughout this scene is caused by the sun that has just set mere minutes ago and it doesn’t last long, sometimes twenty minutes, usually a lot less. Combine that short window of opportunity with the long exposures that I use and there isn’t much chance of creating two of these images in one night.

Lake Erie #9 and Lake Erie #10, Landscape Photograph Set

The lovely, muted purply-grays from Lake Erie #9 carried over into this photograph which is why I think they work so well together, don’t you think?
