Honorable Mention

Changes

A beautiful Aurora storm from late March 2023. Marquette has a very distinct red light house and the colors from the lighthouse were well complimented by the reds and purples of the aurora.

A small nameless lake in Upper Michigan. Captured by drone. It was early in Autumn and the trees were beginning to change color.

Opal Eye

Sunrise late fall on the Carp River in Upper Michigan. It was the first frost of the year and the frost had tinted the brush around the stream giving it a frosted color. The sun caught in the highlights of the fall trees that were just past their peak.

Frosted River

A composite image of the April 8th, 2024 solar eclipse captured in Montreal, Quebec. I took photos of the eclipse as it happened over approximately 4 hours and then composited together. The underlying photo was taken just before totality.

Eclipse Over The Montreal Biosphere

Beautiful fall colors over a small lake in Northern Michigan. The shallow bottom of this lake provides a nice contrast with the blazing Autumn trees.

Pete's Lake

This small island is located in Deer Lake in Northern Michigan. I captured it just as the sun was coming up and its shadow cast through the early fall mist.
