My husband and I and our two youngest sons were vacationing on Michigan's Upper Peninsula and were touring the Soo Locks in Sault Saint Marie when we saw action in the water where Lake Superior and Lake Huron meet. The Osprey saw his catch, which we could not see, and he swooped down and caught the unlucky fish on his first try! I was thrilled to also catch a picture at just the right moment.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken where Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior meet.

Time

We were taking a boat tour of Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. It was mid-afternoon and I saw the osprey taking dives for fish. I must have snapped 40 times before I finally got this shot. Totally worth it!

Lighting

I simply used the afternoon light from the sun.

Equipment

This pic was shot on a Nikon D40 camera.

Inspiration

I thought it would be very cool! It was a spur of the moment decision

Editing

I did not do any post-processing on this picture.

In my camera bag

I nearly always have my Nikon D40 and my iphone plus my GoPro.

Feedback

Michigan's upper peninsula has a plethora of photo opportunities. Just keep trying and shooting pics!
