Hey Gang,
Welcome to today’s post. Today I once again find myself paying homage a good friend. Robert Clark shot an image of Ellingson Island this summer during my workshop and I thought the composition was great. His image is incredibly beautiful and I encourage you to visit Robert’s Blog (full of amazing photography) by clicking here.
Robert’s image inspired me to capture my own version of Ellingson Island and I’ve shared that with you above. Its hard to imagine that this is Lake Superior on the 18th of December, 2011.
I hope you enjoy the image. Over the New Year holiday I’ll be in Death Valley with Robert and Travis Bechtel. I hope we all come home with new and amazing images to share with you. I want to thank all of you for a wonderful 2011 and wish you a joyous and safe holiday season.
Pax Tibi,
Alec Johnson

Thanks Travis. Amazingly, most of the show was in the eastern sky that night. I had to wait for it to slowly move into the frame and I wasn’t sure it would. This was nearly the last frame before the sky lost detail. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while!
Feliz Navidad.

Alec: many, many thanks for the shout-out! I was amazed on the day I shot the island to see the water so calm. And here in your image, at the start of winter, the water is again calm. I would have expected wind, crashing waves, and driving rain, sleet, or snow. But this is really stunning. Beautiful color and I love that kiss of light on the islands edge. Just a wonderful singular moment.
Thanks McClosky. Today I’m searching for a machinist to modify my hitech holder!!!!
