3 days of photography along Lake Michigan

I finally got my camera back from the shop, so I had to go somewhere and try it. I decided to go back up to Lake Michigan, where I camped for 3 days. I visited spots I'd never been to, like Ludington, Muskegon, Holland or Grand Haven.

Even though the first night I could barely get any sleep due to what probably was the most powerful thunderstorm I'd ever seen, the rest of the road trip was pretty much perfect. It was cold and wet, conditions I love for myself... and for photography. I even ran into some fog the last day.

I've been taking many more images than I usually do lately. It's been so cold that I need to keep moving to stay warm, so I don't have as much time to think about the composition. I shoot every angle that looks interesting, and go through those shots later from a warm home.

Thing is, I delete a lot of pictures. I felt like it was a waste, so I created a few contact sheets that I share with you in this video.
