Black & White Beach

I have found that I prefer photographs of driftwood and stones on the beach when portrayed in black and white.  These photos from Whitefish Point took on a more dramatic look and feel when I converted them from their original color to black and white.

Foggy Miners Beach Evening

When I arrived at Miners Beach at the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, I encountered a cold front that had just blown in from Lake Superior.  The temperature dropped from 75 degrees to 48 degrees in just a few minutes!  A thick fog and lots of dew appeared.  It gave everything an otherworldly feel.  The wind was very slight, so even Lake Superior seemed quiet compared to its normal self.  The beach was empty of sightseers and I had the whole place to myself.
