Went up to Traverse City last weekend and made it out to Empire for sunset. Taken from the top of one of the dunes (I don’t think it has a name) just south of Empire. We kind of got robbed of a true sunset because of the low clouds that… 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.

Another part to yesterday’s story. It was cold – 25F with a breeze. This is to be expected given that it’s Michigan at the end of January. I didn’t have a hat, or more accurately, wasn’t aware that I had a hat available, so I was keenly aware of how… Continue reading
I was in Muskegon for an archery shoot and figured I’d head down to Grand Haven to check out the ice on Lake Michigan. I thought it was going to be too early to catch sunset and didn’t really want to wait around. Turns out I was right on time… Continue reading
