The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the non-contiguous Upper and Lower peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge (familiarly known as “Big Mac” and “Mighty Mac”) connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south. It is the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The bridge opened on November 1, 1957, ending decades of the two peninsulas being solely linked by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as “the world’s longest suspension bridge between anchorages”. This designation was chosen because the bridge would not be the world’s largest using another way of measuring suspension bridges, the length of the center span between the towers; at the time that title belonged to the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a longer center span. By saying “between anchorages”, the bridge could be considered longer than the Golden Gate Bridge and also longer than the suspended western section of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. (That bridge has a longer total suspension but is a double bridge with an anchorage in the middle.) At 8,614 feet (2,626 m), the Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere The bridge is not pronounce like it is spelled. To pronounce it like a yupper, try it this way: Macinaw. By the way, a yupper is a person from the upper peninsulas. This is a night shot. It was very dark with the storm clouds all around. I left the shutter open for 10 to 30 seconds at F/13 to capture this shot. I said 10 to 30 due to the fact it is a HDR merged photo using Photomatixs. I must have taken about 30 shots before I was able to hold the camera on the tripod still enough with 30 MPH winds. Gusts around 40. Got this series of shots to create this one photo though. I did receive a question on what I applied to the picture to get it so blue. It is so blue due to the fact that when I took the picture I set the white balance to Tungsten (light bulb) which shifts white to blue and since the lights on the bridge were Tungsten light bulbs, it kept the bridge properly light balanced. The picture was taken in raw, so I could shift it back. But I like it this way better. Nikon D300 / Shutter Speed: 20 seconds / ISO: 250 / Aperture: F/12 / White Balance: Tungsten / Lens: 18-200mm VR (Active) Thanks for Looking! Other Samples of my work are displayed below.

LOL. Caro, MI in the USA was the source of this real life Mater. While traveling north to my jetski location I passed a scrap metal junk yard that had Mater parked in the lot in front. / After laughing about it for a minute I decided to turn around and snap a few pictures. It’s amazing how closely it resembles the Mater from the animated movie “Cars” by Pixar Pictures.

Quickly approaching storm casts an erie feel to lighting It is a picture of the white part of Travertine Terraces as seen at Mammoth Hot Springs in the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. Travertine is a form of calcium carbonate that is dissolved from limestone beneath the ground. It is then carried to the surface by hot water. The colors represent a variety of bacterial algae that survive at varous water temperatures. In this case, the white is so bright, it is almost blinding. The clouds and aproaching storm create great contrast. Editing to picture: White Balance, Light Contrast, Unsharpen Mask, Noise Removal. No color, saturation, or hue adjustments. This is not a computer image or a fake, a fluke maybe, but not a fake. Thanks for looking! Other Samples of my work are displayed below.

Landscape wise, this is the shot for Yellowstone. Just an awesome view. I was actually glad the North Rim is closed. This exposed me to the South Rim of the Lower Falls at Artist Point. There is a reason it is called Artist Point. I’d consider this one spot the most spectacular spot of all Yellowstone. That is saying a lot! I hope you enjoy the picture! How Taken: Nikon D300. / ISO 150 (actually setting is L.2. / Nikon Nikkor 18-200mm VR Lens (VR turned off) / Focal Length: 66 mm. Tried picking a spot in the middle to get as much as possible in focus. Should have used a smaller apature (larger F #). / Manfrotto tripod / F7.1 / Exposure: 1/30th . Not trying for any silky water effects here. Previously featured in National Parks of the World and AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat. Thanks for Looking.

Captured this falcon near a barn. The white fence is behind the bird. The horse area is the dirt area behind the bird with 10 rows of blue seats behind that. I was told he has been seen catching field mice from time to time here. I had brought my camera to take some Sr. pictures here. Captured this bird as well.

One of the rarest big cats you will ever see. The tail on this cat was incrediably long to help balance it in the mountains.

No Losers. All Winners. Suggestive Paint with Flashlight. Trying new things here. Nikon D300 / ISO: 100 / Aperture: F/16 / Shutter Speed: 30 seconds / Focals in 35MM: 30mm / Lens: 18-200mm VR / Lighting: A flash light with a paper rolled over the end to try to keep the light focused on highlight.

This is a Closeup of my winter panoramic of the entire Tahquamenon falls area that is in my other Tahquamenon Falls State Park picture. The amber color of the water is not rust nor is it muddiness. It is caused by tannin leached from the Cedar, Spruce and Hemlock in the swamps drained by the river. The extremely soft water churned by the action of the falls causes the extensive amounts of foam which has been the trademark of the / Tahquamenon since the days of the voyageurs. Thanks for Looking.

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest and one of the most brilliant of Yellowstone’s many colorful hot springs. It measures 200 feet across and maintains a temperature of at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Which makes it a very steamy and smelly place. Thanks for checking it out.

Early morning shot as I headed out for some whale watching. Boston Cityscape.

Kepler Cascades is in Yellowstone National Park in the US. This waterfall is a little off the track, but still near a one way road. Normally you can swim at this location in the park, but in late June the current is too strong and is off limits. Thanks for looking.

The water was three inches deep everywhere; but the muck was over your knees. Hard to believe this is a real place. Thanks for looking dzf1z1

Endless Cypress Trees in the Big Cypress National Preserve in Sourthern Florida. Once again, I wading through the water which is about 3 to 5 inches deep. By the end of the day my feed were soaked to a white wrinkle and my shoes were destroyed. Thanks for looking. dzf1z1

Tahquamenon Falls of the UP in Michigan. The amber color of the water is not rust nor is it muddiness. It is caused by tannin leached from the Cedar, Spruce and Hemlock in the swamps drained by the river. The extremely soft water churned by the action of the falls causes the extensive amounts of foam which has been the trademark of the Tahquamenon since the days of the voyageurs. Before heading out with nothing but a pair of boots, think again. While traveling to this spot in the picture, every third step on the snow caused my foot to sink to the point that my crotch was what prevented me from sinking further. It will take some good snowshoes, or in my case, a snowmobiler who was nice enough to take me the rest of the way. Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses close to 50,000 acres stretching over 13 miles. Most of this is undeveloped woodland without roads, buildings or power lines. The centerpiece of the park, and the very reason for its existence, is the Tahquamenon River with its waterfalls. The Upper Falls is one the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. It has a drop of nearly 50 feet and is more than 200 feet across. In the winter, the region gets on average 260 inches of snow. Ice builds up over the winter and rises nearly as tall as the falls.

It’s a long but beautiful stretch to Grand Tetons National Park. Every turn is a photographic dream. But if your not turning, the straights have some sights as well. / I received about a hundred mosquito bites while the family laughed at me dancing and hoping all over while I was waiting for vehicles to exit from the picture. The family was laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes by the time I re-entered the vehicle. This was taken from the southern section of Yellowstone, heading in the direction of the Tetons. Thanks for looking! Other Samples of my work are displayed below.

Grand Tetons National Park trail. After crossing Jenny Lake, we took a trail much, much turther than most people will normally take. Way past insperation point. After about 2 miles past that point, one will come to this view. Breathless. Not literally. Just a response to this view. If I was not with my family, I could have spent hours here trying to capture the beauty. After another mile we came across more than a couple of moose. Well worth the sore feet and legs from the hike. Thanks for looking.
