"LakeScape #1 of 2" - Lake Michigan near Sheboygan WI at Hika Bay Park
This image is taken looking south on the west shore of Lake Michigan (north of Sheboygan, WI) at Hika Bay Park on a blustery spring morning. This beach is a rockhound's delight, strewn with wave-polished pebbles and rocks of all colors. Sitting here just listening to the waves is so calming. Another shot from same location coming tomorrow...
Image captured 4/8/23. Techincal stuff- this image is composited from 20 rapid sequential exposures, using a "brighten" algorithm so that any time a wave crest was "brighter/whiter" than prior accumulated exposures, it would replace with new brighter info. This method amplifies the "stormy/windy look".

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota.

He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI.
