Here's another shot from my trip to the Wisconsin Northwoods earlier this month… There was a lovely fog that morning, but it burned off entirely too quickly – there were more locations and compositions I wanted to shoot, but I ran out of fog and time!

Joseph Rossbach, Ian Plant, and William Neill have all recently released terrific ebooks featuring landscape photography. Each has a different focus, but all are lavishly and beautifully illustrated with the authors’ own photographs, and all are worthwhile additions to your electronic bookshelf. And they’re all a steal, priced at only $5-$10! Rossbach’s “Crafting Compelling Compositions”…
I’m reading Guy Tal’s new ebook, “Creative Processing Techniques” – highly recommended! It offers clear explanations of principles, the reasoning behind his workflow recommendations, and is illustrated with his own great photos. The best part of the book for me is the look behind the curtains at Guy’s thoughts and explorations as he works through…
(I’m consolidating my photography sites, so I’ll be posting a few posts from other sites here in preparation for shutting them down…) This image is a particular favorite of mine. It was a bit of a departure for me, as I actually added an element of myself to the picture. I was planning to go…
I’ve posted several new photos from my trip north a couple of weeks back – please check the “Latest Work” gallery to see them. The weather was almost too “nice” for photography, what with mostly clear blue skies and temps in the upper 60s & low 70s, but I toughed it out & made a…
I made it back to Gibraltar Rock for sunset last weekend. Well, twice, actually – Saturday we had some nice clouds as sunset approached, so I headed up (it’s a bit over an hour’s drive from home) only to get rained out. Sunday I remembered to check the weather map before leaving, and sure enough,…
Here are a few more autumn images from the northwoods of Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that have been languishing on my hard drive for a while… They were shot at varying locations from Mercer, Wisconsin over to Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains in the U.P. As always, I’d love your comments!…
Very nice Jack. It reminds me of the area I lived in back in Minnesota before I moved west. It triggers some pleasant memories.
Thanks, pj. I really miss this sort of scene when I’m away from the northwoods…
I love this type of stuff Jack. Great examples of the textures and warm brown tones that exist after the “in your face” color has passed.
btw, I can’t really see the text in your reply to PJ above, seems to be white text on a light blue background. Probably a CSS tweak in your new theme?
Thanks, Mark, and thanks for pointing out the css issue… hopefully it’s a bit easier to read now! 🙂

Nice blog and wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Jack, I am just Loving what I have seen so far, your images are amazing on how I experience a closer connection to nature. They remind me of our Central Ontario area of The Muskokas and Algonquin Park, my ancestral home and family lineage. As fourth generation Algonquin I am always drawn to images of the wilderness and the spiritual draw on my soul. I hope you take a peak at my collection of some of my most precious gems in nature that I enjoy so much. They are all my favorite ” Sit Spots”
Thanks, Steven, and thanks for visiting – come back anytime! 🙂
