Fine Art Photography by Rick Byerly 

at the Photo Forum, USX Tower

Archival Images From Shifting Lake Superior Ice Shelves

In March 2007 I traveled Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior to find that high powered winds had crashed miles of numerous ice shelves into each other. I trekked them for several days, finding that the sun was changing the exterior patterns of the shelves by the minute. The black and white images celebrate seldom seen perspectives of ice shelve formations using zoom and macro lenses. I used a professional digital slr camera and converted the images to black and white using color filters in photoshop.

The color images include unusual blue ice formations, ice figures, and water-themed imagery from Lake Superior from the winter and early spring of 2007. I found the unusual blue ice formations and figures on the moving ice shelves in March near Duluth. Sometimes when snow and ice form, red light is absorbed while the blue is transmitted and collisions and compression of ice increase the occurrences.

i'm working on my images from my late april/ early may superior trip which ended up being 5 days due to a blown radiator.  working on some articles to drive more traffic to this site too.  heading back to pittsburgh pa for a long weekend.

 

april 19 2007

just got my camera back from  canon service center- i guess the 40 mph winds along lake superior kicked a bunch of unwelcome dust in! working on fine tuning the website, adding affiliate banner links to major online stores and editing the photos i took along lake superior.  i spent most of my time in grand marais, minnesota which was great even given the rough weather and lack of photo opps. i will be holding off on updating the website with new photos for the time being given the upcoming summer shows and festivals. for those who have purchased prints in the past i will send a special link for you to check out my ongoing work.

new page added to the site is http://www.uniquetake.com/stores.htm let me know if there are any problems seeing the banners etc. every purchase you make from a banner on my site helps me pay the bills.

email me if you're not on my mailing list to get show updates and more.

regards,

rick
