Ontario Photographer Captures Massive Wave That Looks Like 'The Perfect Face'

Cody Evans of Ingersoll, Ontario, set out to see what he could capture of Lake Erie's massive waves during the region's latest winter storm this past weekend. Shooting from the chilly shores of Port Stanley on Friday and Saturday with his Nikon Z9, he wound up with some gallery-worthy shots of Lady Erie, as he called the fourth-largest and southernmost of the Great Lakes. I've been taking photos since January 2020, Evans told blogTO on Thursday. I was inspired to photograph waves after seeing some of Dave Sandford and Trevor Pottleberg's work. Every time there are high winds, I try to make it to the lake!Evans says he's been trying for more than three years to get those coveted explosive lake photos, but hadn't captured anything he was satisfied with until last Friday. Nov. 18. By the time Saturday rolled around, winds were raging even harder, enabling the 40-year-old photographer to snap some of the coolest photos many people will ever see of the great Lake Erie. 15+ foot lake monsters, he wrote on Facebook when sharing some of the 10,000 photos he took over two days. Erie is an absolute beast for big *ss waves.
