In Search of Scale...


Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a wild place.  There are sweeping vistas and dense forests and perched, steep dunes.  

Every time I lifted the camera to my eye, I searched for something to give scale to the shot.  Something to use as a reference point to snap the scene to scale.  

Check out these photos brought to scale by a person or boot or boat in the shot.

A forest is given scale with Ben in the shot

A tour boat along the lakeshore


Miners Castle formation


Even small things are given scale by putting my boot in the shot



I am almost swallowed by this vista


Ben, sandstone ledges, and trees


This small boat gives scale to this view from the bluffs
