October-November 2010 Newsletter

Here is my latest newsletter for October-November 2010 http://www.tomhaxbyphotos.com/Newsletter/October-November_2010_Newsletter.htm

Bird's Eye View

This was taken from a hot air balloon thanks to Grand Traverse Balloons . This was quite the adventure and a difficult photo expedition. Really like the fall colors - they are not enhanced, and the blue water with the hint of reflected clouds. I would encourage anyone to take the opportunity to go up in a hot air balloon, especially now with the fall colors.

Red Jack Lake

This image was taken on perhaps on one of those days that will stand out for a long time. Rainbows, fantastic sunsets, wild weather on Lake Superior, fall colors - this day had it all. This stunning scene on the Hiawatha National Forest was captured after several hours and was after I was almost ready to pack it in for the morning.
Spent part of the morning along side two other photographers whom I know, Nick Bristol from Wisconsin and Dean Pennala from Kalamazoo, Michigan. We had a blast watching the rainbows magically appear over the lake.

Scout Lake

Taken this morning on Scout Lake. Wow, what an awesome sight. The rainbow seemed to last forever. That, and in a later image the rainbow can be seen coming down all of the way to the ground.

Fall in the UP

Spending some time in the UP this weekend for the fall colors. Good in some places. This was on Miner's Beach this evening.
