Connecting to Lake Superior Through Images

Infosuperior Seeks Excellent Cover Photos
Infosuperior is always seeking excellent cover photos. We depend on subscribers from around the lake to supply these photos. We obviously cannot use every photo submitted but if you have a photo which might make a great cover shot, we are interested. Get in touch through jfbailey@lakeheadu.ca.
Infosuperior has just one over-arching theme or guideline…only Lake Superior. Photos should reflect this, but the lake provides an almost limitless palette.
Infosuperior is especially interested in photos which reflect Lake Superior conditions around each monthly publication date (a recent storm, melting shoreline ice, first snow, etc). We publish through all seasons of the year and our cover photos reflect this (i.e. summer photos for summer newsletter editions, etc.). Submitted photos should be medium to high resolution.
Get in touch if you have a great photo you’d like to share with a very broad audience. The best time to submit is a few days in advance of publication date on the first of each month. Here are a few suggestions for photo themes:
- Lake Superior scenery
- Lake Superior storms
- Lake Superior in other moods
- fog and the incredible affect it can have on photos of Lake Superior and surroundings
- Lake Superior science including habitat restoration projects, fish/animal population surveys, education activities
- Lake Superior activities like sailing, kayaking, camping, fishing, iceboating, surfing
- fish, birds and animals on, in or around Lake Superior
- commercial activities related to Lake Superior like fishing and lake shipping.
