One of the gorillas at the Como Park zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota. I can’t help wondering what he is thinking as we all stand around and stare at him as he stares back at us.

Walk This Way
Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography
Under normal lighting, this boardwalk is pretty tame. However, with a little post processing, it becomes a bit more sinister.

The Flow

Late evening along the St. Louis River as it flows through Jay Cooke State Park in Minnesota. This beautiful park is home to amazing rock formations, rapids and waterfalls. A trip across the famous swinging bridge will take you to several vantage points to view the river and allows access to hiking trails in the park.

Collaboration

The river creates the patterns, the photographer documents and adds human touches to the creation. Taken on a small eddy on the edge of the St. Louis River near Duluth, Minnesota.

I’ve always felt that this image does not need words. If you drive, you’ve been in a place like this.
Fury
Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography
A solid northeast wind with all of Lake Superior to gather ahead of the gale means furious waves at the western end of the lake. On Saturday, April 14th, we had such a day and it became a tourist event with all accessible locations crowded with sightseers…and lots of photographers. At one spot there was even surfers.

Something Simple
Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography
As I was driving back from Silver Bay, Minnesota where I did some long exposure photography, I noticed these old pier supports and decided to investigate. They are in a small bay where the Split Rock River runs into Lake Superior. I really enjoyed how the ice had formed on the wood and wished I had taken more time to study them further. At the time I was frustrated by my variable neutral density filter creating artifacts in some of the images which meant I couldn’t get the creamy water effect I was after. I plan to pay a visit to the camera store where I purchased the filter and see what they have to say.

Long Exposure Test
Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography
I’m working on preparing an image for submission with the subject being long exposure. We have several wood pulp plants in the area and I thought they would make for an interesting composition. Although technically strong, I feel that a little more wind would have created longer steam trails and been more what I wanted to capture.
