His lake photos are lighting up the internet

Photographer Dave Sandborn is wild about the water
Posted

Dave Sandborn got his first camera when he was nine years old. Today he is an International award winning photographer. He has a special fondness for taking pictures in the ocean. Sharks are one of his specialties. He says: "I love sharks. I have had a fascination with them since I was a kid."

His shark pictures are amazing, but it's his series of Lake Erie photos that have been lighting up the internet. What makes them especially eye-catching is that the dramatic images look more like ocean waves than those found in the lake.

Dave admits, "I have a lot of friends here that have never seen the lake like that, I say that's because you go on a sunny day. You don't go when it's 70 mph winds and raining sideways and there are waves that are 20 feet high."

To get the photos Dave heads out a couple hundred feet into the water, in the Fall of the year when the lake is pretty wild. You can purchase his prints at his website
