Heat reflections from the morning sun turns the Maritime Trader into a ghostly presence. Taken from the northernmost point of Belle Isle looking up into Lake St. Clair where Great Lakes waters bottle neck before jetting through the Detroit River.

ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely dreamy shot!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a different kind of reflection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. That shot was with a 50mm on a crop sensor, so it's actually 80mm. If you hover your mouse over any photo on my blog, it gives you EXIF data.
I love the mysterious feel
ReplyDeleteGreat image...I love the haziness. I will definitely be checking out the Michigan blog link. I may currently live in Ohio but my heart will always belong to Michigan. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks quite ghostly. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding!
ReplyDelete«Louis» thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
I'm just visiting those who left comments on my SkyWatch Friday post. You have some awesome photos here! I love the ones of the various birds. That one flying near the water, with its reflection showing may be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteA very simple and very elegant composition - love your use of DOF.
ReplyDeleteI like the shit photo and the ghost look around her. Never been to this lake but to others - Michigan and Erie.
ReplyDeleteRomantic shot; looks like the ship is embarking on a distant journey into unkown parts, leaving us all behind.
ReplyDeleteIn reply to your comment on my birds blog...
ReplyDeleteI was just going through 163 photos I took the other day of a male Sharp-shinned hawk. Out here in the wind with his feathers looking like a tango dancer. It is a beautiful bird. I would be willing to work one of those up for you if you are interested.
Beautiful capture. Love it.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I appears as a big blue ghost behind the watchful eye of the perched seagull.
ReplyDeletePerfect focusing and great composition!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic shot! The little pops of green and yellow amidst all that blue really make the picture.
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture. It does look ghostly.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is on business on Michigan this week and he isn't mentioning any heat ghosts! :')
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone for your kind comments! I was so freezing cold when I took this shot with the sun was just trying to come out. The buoy was way out off the end of the island. I laid the camera on a rock after I focused on the bird. Click. I had no idea the image would look like this. When I cropped it for the blog page I found this composition. There were lots of happy accidents!
