Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Seascapes and/or Lakeshore

Posted on 30/07/201923/09/2019 by David M

This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Seascapes and/or Lakeshore.

Having been living close to various lakes since settling in Canada in the late 1990s I had rather a lot of lakeshore options for this challenge.

So I decided to go with a selection of shots of the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada. I lived a few blocks from the lakeshore for a few years in the 2000s which means that the photos are a mix of film and digital.

Storm clouds over Lake Huron at sunset. Chantry Island and its lighthouse is on the horizon. Taken from close to Dominion Lookout on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton.

Canada Geese and Canadian flag at sunrise from The Long Dock in Southampton. The flag is 50 x 25 feet and the flagpole is 135 feet high to celebrate the town’s 135 anniversary.

The range light at the mouth of the Saugeen River at sunrise. Taken from close to Dominion Lookout looking north.

Such a beautiful series of the Lake Huron shoreline. Canada Geese and Canadian flag at sunrise is a cool capture. The last one is my favorite.
Thank you for joining us, David. 🙂

  Thanks Amy. Once the Canada Geese appeared I knew I had to get a shot.

Beautiful captures all, David! My absolute favorite is the Canada geese and the flag. Love that smooth colour combination.

  Thanks Leya. That shot is an early digital capture for me and even earlier for the camera used as it was my second outing with it.
