  • (1888PressRelease) January 14, 2011 - Jennifer Squires Productions, a photography studio specializing in peaceful minimalist landscapes, has introduced "Lake Erie #9" for those looking to add a touch of ghostly natural beauty to their space. The muted tones and modern ethereal glow, combined with old wooden rails and seaweed covered rocks make Lake Erie #9 Jennifer's most contemplative image ever. Created entirely in camera using a long exposure, Lake Erie #9 is the newest edition to Jennifer's ongoing seascape series.

    "It was a drizzly evening in November when I made this photograph," said Jennifer. "The day was so damp and dreary that I almost stayed home; I'm glad I didn't! I've never seen Port Glasgow look like this. The heavy clouds and light mist combined with my long camera exposure really added a sense of eeriness to the quiet beach. Whether you're looking to add water, mystery, or reverie to your decor, Lake Erie #9 is the thought provoking choice."

    The cool, muted tones of of Lake Erie #9 are a result of heavy cloud cover and fading daylight. It's this softness that creates the quiet, calm ambience of the photograph, that first catches the eye of the viewer.

    The white of the sky is reflected in the water giving Lake Erie #9 a bright, ethereal glow, making this image perfect for display in modern spaces. Look carefully though, and you'll see the faint line of the horizon.

    Old wooden rails among seaweed covered rocks draw the viewer inward, offering many sources for contemplation. What are those rails for? Where do they lead to? Who put them there? Why are they no longer serving their original purpose? How long have they been there? Lake Erie #9 can easily be used as a stimulus for meditation and thought provoking contemplation.

    Lake Erie #9 was created entirely in camera using a long exposure which produced a number of interesting effects: the unusually calm water, the inability to see where the water begins or ends in the foreground, the look of fog around the base of the rocks. The only work that was done in PhotoShop was retouching raindrops off the lens.

    Lake Erie #9 is an open edition photograph that is presented with a white border for easy framing and is signed on the front for added long term value.

    Captured in Port Glasgow, Ontario, a small harbour community on the north shore of Lake Erie, Lake Erie #9 is part of Jennifer's ongoing series of seascape images that highlight relics of The Great Lakes amid unnaturally calm waters.
