The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, in Lake Superior

24 MP (4852x5178) Digital This is a composite of two 12-megapixel photos taken 4 seconds apart.   Also check out Apostles Afire (North) and Apostles Afire (South).   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5175 St. Louis Bay https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/st-louis-bay/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:31:40 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5710 FIRST and SECOND IMAGES ZOOM TO 4K THIRD IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin

39 MP (10,800x3600) Digital The westernmost point in Lake Superior, and one end of the St. Lawrence Seaway. This is a composite of four photos.  Because of its unusual dimensions (over 10k pixels tall), it is shown here in two pieces, but it is a single composite. This photo works well in both portrait and landscape orientations.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5710 Pastel Chequamegon https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/pastel-chequamegon/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:28:29 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5409 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Thunder Bay, Isle Royale, and the Keweenaw Peninsula

40 MP (8880x4440) from 70mm Film This is a composite of two photos.  The 2nd image shows just how beautifully the two aligned.  The ice patterns and land match up almost perfectly, even though the photos were taken 20 seconds apart.  During that time the Shuttle Endeavour flew 92 miles (148 km) -- twice the length of Isle Royale -- so the camera angles were quite different. In this photo: Isle Royale National Park; Kaministiquia River, Pie Island, Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, Black Bay, Edward Island; City of Thunder Bay, Ontario; L'Anse; Baraga State Forest; Keweenaw National Historical Park; Keweenaw Waterway; Copper Island; Copper Harbor; Mainitou Island (Superior)   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5128 Goldfish https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/goldfish/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:28:00 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5129 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior

24 MP (5100x5100) from 70mm Film (1989)

The wakes of four freighters are easy to spot, all headed south toward the St. Marys River and the Soo Locks at Sault Ste. Marie.

Isle Royale National Park, Lake Superior

24 MP (5100x5100) from 70mm Film (1994) Thunder Bay, Ontario is on the left, and a small piece of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula is on the right, as you can see in this composite. Also in this photo: Kaministiquia River; Pie Island; Sleeping Giant Provincial Park; Black Bay; Edward Island; City of Thunder Bay, ON.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5123 Isle Royale, Before and After https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/isle-royale-before-and-after/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:21:11 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5720 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Isle Royale National Park, Lake Superior

32 MP (4928x6560) Digital (16 MP x2) Before and after what?  Just 45 seconds.  This is a great example of how rapidly the view from orbit changes, and how ephemeral sunglints are.  It also shows how slowly wave patterns change; the details are almost identical in both photos. Incidentally, the ISS was 200 miles closer to the island in the second photo; the camera had a zoom lens.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5720 Somewhere in Three States https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/somewhere-in-3-states/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:13:46 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5289 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Location Unknown

24 MP (4032x6048) Digital This is a photo of water, ice, and clouds, someplace in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota.

Lac (Lake) Nipigon, Ontario

24 MP (4032x6048) Digital The mouth of the 30-mile Nipigon River, which connects Lac Nipigon to Lake Superior, can be seen at the bottom right. The Nipigon region is so sparsely populated that many of the lake's islands don't have names on government navigation maps.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5116
