After capturing the image for my post last week, I decided that for the month of May I wanted to focus on long exposure photography. I tend to neglect my ND filters and need to use them more often. For this week, I paid a visit to a beach on Lake Superior during a very windy day. This abstract image is the result of a 60 second exposure with a 10 stop ND filter at ISO 100, 45mm, f 11 with my Fujifilm GFX 100s.
More of my photography can be found on my website and my blog.

The shore of Lake Superior.
This is an image that was shot with my Nikon FM, then developed using Cinestill 96 at home. I scanned the negative with my Fujifilm GFX 100s using a Loawa 100mm 2X Macro lens. The sculpture is located in Duluth, MN. I had issues with the film not rolling properly on the developing spools and lost all but a dozen images out of two rolls of 36 exposures. The survivors had interesting artifacts as part of the issues.

I often go in search of abstract patterns in ice but, when the ice is gone, I find other sources of natural art. On a recent trip to the St. Louis River where it flows through Jay Cooke State Park in Minnesota, I happened upon patterns created by the swirling foam. Being white foam on dark water, the patterns are naturally monochromatic.
It was a bitter cold day with mist rising from Lake Superior and the rocks were covered in ice. North pier lighthouse, Duluth, MN.
