Title: Sunset Fishing at Lake Superior
Post by: LesPalenik on June 30, 2018, 12:30:36 am

I'm not sure what's better - photographing the fishing boat from the shore or sitting in it in calm waters of Lake Superior. Captured last week on the North Shore, around 10pm.

Is the bird on the right real? Looks almost too good to be true. Great moment!

Stefan, good observation! The bird is a golden eagle, shot in the very same location, but in another frame.
I subscribe to Alain Briot's school of "Letting Go", so I let the eagle fly into the sunset frame.

Good for you. The eagle works beautifully there.

I think that's an immature Golden, from the light areas underneath that go away on the adult.
Nice shot.

I actually think the eagle distracts from the boat.

Thank you, Alan and Paulo,

In my next edit, I'll make the eagle smaller.
