Photograph by Tom Adams on Reddit

This incredible photograph of the by photographer Tom Adams was number one on the front page of Reddit a couple days ago. The striking view was captured from a beach in Porter, (approx. 1 hour drive from Chicago).

The body of water in the foreground is Lake Michigan and Tom took this photograph using a Canon 60D with a medium telephoto lens. He made a slight adjustment to the exposure in Lightroom.

The setting sun adds an incredible richness and colour to this photograph and it’s certainly one of the most beautiful the Sifter has seen in recent time. Full kudos to Mr. Adams on a truly stunning capture.
