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

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

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 St. Mary and Joseph https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/stmaryandjoseph-a/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:20:00 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5120 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%
