MY GOD!! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!! If you can do it...list it with Fine Art America, and if the resolution is high enough, you should sell it in every format you can! It's breathtaking!!

Behind The Lens
Location
Lake Erie, Ontario CanadaTime
It was between 12pm - 3pm .Lighting
The lighting was on and off due to the amount of clouds that kept rolling in and out... which in turn made for even better lighting as it made some interesting shadows.Equipment
Sony Cyber shot Hx300 mini wrap around tripod (which abled me to attach it around life guard stand that was used as the ultimate tripod!)Inspiration
My inspiration came from hearing about how crazy Lake Erie becomes during the fall to winter season change. There is a tiny window of opportunity where the warm and cold air form a amazing battle out in the water,.....turning normal Lake waves into what looks like the Ocean sometimes. Its pretty awesome to see if you catch it during the right time. Some years this miraculous show has gone on for a month or even longer...last year it went on for 8 days ... this year was a good month. Every year is different and every year the waves and power of Mother Nature impress me more and more. You never know what you're going to get ! .. and as a photographer ...to me that's inspiring !!!!Editing
I don't have photo shop or any editing tool... what u see is what u get... I hope to achieve great photography without the help from editing tools.In my camera bag
My bag is pretty light... I have my trusty cleaning wipe for my lens, my mini tripod and an extra battery! pretty simpleFeedback
I don't have much advice, I'm not a professional photographer, I've never sold a picture on viewbug, I don't know all the photography terminology...what I can is I love grabbing my camera and hitting the road and just watching.. beauty is all around us everywhere...it may take 1000 pics to get it right but be patient... it will be worth it!
