North and South Manitou Islands, Lake Michigan

24 MP (3456x6684) Digital This is a composite of two 12 MP photos on a single-color blue matte. The color of the water is so pure that the blue border is almost invisible.  Here's a zoom-out view that will fit vertically on your screen. In the zoom-in, areas of water and shore that appear grainy are actually just wavy.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5133 Apostles Afire https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/apostles-afire/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:32:00 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5175 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND 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 Molten Gold: Golden Georgian https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/moltengold-goldengeorgian/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:30:44 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5137 FIRST IMAGE ZOOMS TO 4K SECOND IMAGE ZOOMS TO 100%

Lake Huron's Georgian Bay, from the North

32 MP (5700x5700) from 70mm Film (2001)

I like being able to see the imperfect corners of the large-format film and the automatic data-stripe.

Many photos look their best when North is up, like a map, but I find this one disorienting, because of the cloud shadows...

This photo was taken on 2001-07-20 at 13:06:19 GMT during the Shuttle Atlantis's mission STS-104.  Roll 724, Frame 23.   Categories and Tags are clickable...]]> 5137 White Green Bay https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/browse/whitegreenbay/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:29:00 +0000 https://greatlakesgrandlands.com/?post_type=product&p=5130 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.
