Visiting the GalleryOnDaLine:

Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down and tour the "galleries" available for viewing or printing. Once in a gallery, you may select pictures to view from the "thumbnail" displays. You may view pictures as "small", with the other thumbnails, as "medium" or as "large," which will fill your screen; some galleries permit "original," giving full image size to check fine detail. Original and large views in some galleries are restricted to preclude downloading of the larger image. If you order prints of that image, the full-size, original image is used for printing.

Notice that you can change the display arrangements to suit your fancy. What is especially useful is the ability to have all of the pictures in a gallery play as a slide show, using various image sizes. You may quickly scan all of the pictures in a gallery by changing the "Style" to All Thumbs, and then clicking on individual pictures to see a larger view.

All images on this site are copyright 2009 by Bill Fink Communications, LLC. Unless otherwise restricted (you'll encounter it when it applies), photos here may be downloaded for personal use and printing. In some galleries, the picture files may be downloaded for personal or commercial use for a fee. If used for non-profit publication, picture credit to Bill Fink, GalleryOnDaLine.com is required. For commercial publication, contact us for rates and details.

To support non-profit groups and organizations in our community we will photograph your event for a modest fee and place a selection of event photos on-line here in its own gallery. Participants, friends and relatives are then able to view the gallery for free and purchase prints or downloads through the site. As an incentive to the non-profit group or organization to advertize the gallery and encourage particpants to visit and make purchases, 20% of the proceeds from the sale of prints and downloads are returned to the non-profit. With the payment of higher shooting fees, the gallery can be set to permit free downloading of either low resolution or full resolution images.

Please visit the prints & gifts section. Smugmug.com has contracted with high quality, reasonably priced printing services. Note that prints larger than what the standard home or office printer can make are available through this site. They offer photo quality papers with long-life inks. While many home printers accept photo-quality paper, they do not use archival quality inks -- thus your prints are likely to fade within a year or so. Fading can be minimized if the print is placed behind class and is not placed where direct sunlight hits it.

Bill Fink Communications, LLC operates Gallery OnDaLine and offers high quality digital and film photographic services. Whether you want original art representative of the Keweenaw Peninsula, wedding pictures, industrial process and construction photography, or simply pictures of your meeting or event here in the Keweenaw to share with employees and customers or family and friends, Bill Fink Communications, LLC will meet your needs.

Bob Lake, July 2008 : Bob Lake is peaceful little lake in southern Houghton County, on the Ottawa National Forest.  These pics are from a sunset and the following sunrise in mid July.  There was enough cooling overnight to create wonderful fog over the lake in the morning.  Some of the pics have been processed to express the pic as a drawing.  Enjoy!

Ranger III Portfolio : The National Park Service vessel, Ranger III, is the lifeline for Isle Royale National Park.  It is the highway system, the food and diesel fuel transporter, and the most luxurious surface transport to and from the park. 

At 165 feet long, it is the largest piece of movable equipment in the National Park System.

The Ranger celebrated its 50th year in 2008. Here are a variety of views of the Ranger III in action.  Some are straight photos; some have been edited to mimic a colored pencil drawing.

All images are copyright 2008, Bill Fink Communications, LLC.  The watermark is removed for any paid downloads or prints ordered through this site.
