St. Paul, MN Photos

Dulith harbor

Only people who have ever been to Duluth Harbor take this shot. I think I have taken it in all tyeps of weather and light. This one is kind of OK. Not much of a sunrise that morning.

Sand

This is a beach on Lake Superior. The shot was taken on a cloudy day so I aimed the camera at the sand. There are a couple of people that really like this shot.  I would like it better if it showed more water.

Sunrise

It seems like when I travel I am in the right place at the right time but the sunrise just doesn’t happen. Last sunday I was out taking some photos of local architecture and a sunrise did happen. I wasn’t in the best place to capture it but at least I wan’t at home in my jammies.  So much of photography is about lighting.

The shot was taken at Lake Como in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Boat and Bridge, Duluth Harbor, MN

The boat wasn’t moving very fast, the shutter speed was very slow.  Most of the time a moving object in a slow shutter speed type shot mucks things up but this one came out alright, which is a good thing becasue the sunrise that followed was kind of a non-event.

When my ship comes in there will probably be a bunch of people with cameras taking photos of it.  It is fun to watch the boats come in and out of Duluth harbor on Lake Superior and it is fun to watch the tourists watching the boats.  This particular boat is 690 feet long which is smallish but is impressive to see up close.

Taken on lake Phalen on what I would call a perfect summer morning.
