Another gale swept across Lake Michigan last Saturday. For the most part, the light wasn't great and the contrast of the billowing clouds of spray against the sky was poor. There was 30 minutes of light though that were worth waiting for, which is when the image below was shot.



This image is one of a 22 frame sequence shot at 4 frames/sec that now lives in real time as an animated GIF on my website. The animation is relatively large, 2.9 Mbytes, and will hence take some time to load for anyone on a slower internet connection, but I hope it will be worth the wait. The animation loads in a new browser window and will cycle continuously in real time once it has fully loaded:

I hope you'll enjoy seeing the animation if you have the time.
