A different angle on the waves in Grand Haven – I’d like to have gotten in front of the light posts, but I also wanted to keep my shoes dry. Apparently, I’m not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get the shot. Photo taken with Nikon D80 (not… Continue reading
Grand Haven Lighthouse Sunset – a bit grainy (this one is just one shot with the shadows brought up a lot) but nice none the less. Remember when Lake Michigan was below freezing and Lake Michigan was ice as far as you could see? You do now… As the temperature… Continue reading
This sunset (now with sailboat!) was already in the queue before I developed the Sunday plan… From the Grand Haven breakwall on the North side of the channel, which might actually mean this is from Ferrysburg. I was over there for a paddle and got back just before sunset but… Continue reading
A second shot of the Algoway, slightly better positioned to get the lighthouse in the picture. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 80mm, 1/400 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
Just happened to be heading out for some kayaking when the Algoway was backing out of the Grand Haven channel. Thanks to the giant ship, you can’t see smoke from the recently extinguished camper fire in Grand Haven State Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 18mm,… Continue reading
I’m paranoid when it comes to this kind of activity – I don’t like the idea of falling through the ice into 32 degree water. Not that it wouldn’t have been cool to go tromp around on the icebergs, but when I can see the melt spots, I’m staying off… Continue reading
Conforming to the guidance mentioned in yesterday’s post, this shot doesn’t have the sun included. I’ve replaced it with a lighthouse instead. Still a series of 5 shots because I wanted the light to be more than a silhouette. Pictures taken with Sony a6000, E PZ 16-50mm lens @ 16mm,… Continue reading
What might be a better rendering on the sunset in Grand Haven this weekend. Newer version first, yesterday’s daily-photo version second. Both created the same way, but the newer one had a brighter exposure available to integrate into the mix, and I added a graduated neutral density filter digitally to… Continue reading
The general wisdom, I think, I that sunset pictures don’t actually include the sun. I’m still learning this Sony camera thing, but as far as I can tell it will only do bracketed shots 5 x .7EV apart, which means a max of plus or minus 1.4EV. I’m spoiled because… Continue reading
Sunset in Grand Haven taken from Grand Haven State Park – this is an older shot from 2012 and taken at a time of year when it was warm out – which also had an influence on where the sun was coming down on the horizon, putting it North of… Continue reading
