Hi Gang,

Lots of upcoming posts and news, but I thought I’d start off this phase with a montage of video and still images shot during the 2009 Digital Landscaped Workshop, August 9-13, 2009, on the north shore of Lake Superior. A huge THANK YOU goes out to Marek, Mark, Sharon, Chet and Amy, our participants. An equally big THANK YOU goes to Travis Bechtel for assisting. Some amazing images were captured during the workshop, many of which are seen in the video. Enjoy!

Scouting The Workshop on the Gitche Gumee

I’m still digesting the amazing workshop week we all experienced. I have to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all the participants, including Marek, Amy, Mark, Sharon, Chet, and Travis, who assisted and contributed to the wonderful vibe of the group.

I went out Sunday afternoon before the workshop to scout a trail in Gooseberry State Park. I decided to just shoot “long” regardless, forcing myself to see differently and in hard light. This image was near the end of the Gitche Gumee trail on the bluff overlooking the mouth of the Gooseberry River. I’ve used some selective focus technique that has become a little popular in some circles and I’m curious to know you’re reaction to both the image and the post production technique.

Landscape Photography: Going Back in Time

Alec — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:27:08 +0000

Hi Gang,

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be posting exclusively landscapes. I’m going through some “throw-away” images, reworking some previously posted images and just re-posting some of my personal favorites.

I’d like to remind everyone that there are still openings available in my North Shore workshops, so please contact me directly at alec@acjohnsonphoto.com if you’re interested. Also please pass this workshop information on to anyone that might be interested.

Today’s image is a “throw-away” image, one I never intended on posting for a variety of reasons. It does represent some of the amazing characteristics of Lake Superior. For example, the lake is well known for its around the clock fog during the summer months. When warm, humid air runs up from the south and hits the notoriously cold water of the lake, bam…fog anytime of the day. I shot this image late in the day on a warm July afternoon two years ago. Fog can be a great landscape subject and Lake Superior often presents this opportunity. This particular image is of a “1000 footer” in harbor, Two Harbors, MN.
