p.1 #1 · December gales/waves - Lake Erie


This is a follow up post to "November Gales". When the fall winds pick up on Lake Erie the results can be spectacular. On Tuesday, we had 35 knot winds from the south west, The waves hit the pier and are reflected back into the oncoming waves,causing collisions and a lot of spray, There is no pattern to the wave collisions, so you have to watch and be quick! This type of shooting can be addictive, and cold!

1) Early light

2) Strong winds bending the wave backwards

4) Faces can be seen sometimes, often enough that this is referred to as the Witch of Lake Erie

When seeing your subject title, the Gordon Lightfoot song about the "Edmund Fitzgerald" instantly popped into my mind.
Great job and fantastic images! Angry waves!!!

Great photos! I like the worm hole. I used to sail the great lakes. Does not look like a good day for a sail!

These are terrific Mike. It doesn't take a lot of wind to get this shallow lake rolling. You have some wonderful captures here.

Much appreciated! Many of the waves look like faces or animals or. depending on the viewer.

Thanks!
For these I used a Canon 5d IV and 500 F4 on a tripod. Looking into using a 1.4 to fill the frame a little more, but then you might miss the really big ones!

Tremendous captures, really a thrill to see! Makes me glad I'm in my easy chair tonight instead of out there.

Thanks for posting.
