[singlepic id=1504 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1503 w=480 float=left] What can I say, I like my sunset pictures – maybe I should start a Sunday-Sunset theme. This one from inland a bit around the Saugatuck / Douglas area. Taken a few weeks ago (6/20). Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 18mm, 1/80… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1502 w=480] Last lighthouse for a bit… maybe. The light(house) in the middle of the Manitou Passage about three miles off the mainland and off the shore of North Manitou Island. As you can sort of see, it’s a residence for birds now and thanks to that it stinks… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1500 h=480] This picture is so-so, but it fits the lighthouse theme… the Round Island Lighthouse opposite Mackinac Island across the channel there. I’ve successfully watched fireworks from this lighthouse, which I highly recommend. Picture taken with Pentax Optio W60, lens @ 6.1mm (34mm eq), f/6.1, 1/20 sec, ISO… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1499 w=480] The South Manitou Lighthouse from the water upon arrival after one of our early and poorly coordinated (read: stupid) crossings. We actually saved most of the stupid for the return trip which had worse conditions and way more distance between the three of us such that we… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1498 w=480] A different view from St. Helena looking down the lifeboat launch ramp (with the group’s kayaks off to the side). Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 24mm, f/16, 1/500 sec, ISO 400
[singlepic id=1497 w=480] Since we’re on a lighthouse tour here, this is the St. Helena Lighthouse found just west of the Mackinac Bridge on the North side of Lake Michigan. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 44mm, f/5, 1/1000 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1496 w=480] Sunset from the Grand Marais campground during GLSKS 2007. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/7.1, 1/400 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1495 w=480] Same Mosquito Chapel Beach as posted a few days back, but a few years later and in very different conditions. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @18mm, f/9, 1/200 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1494 w=480] Happy 4th of July! More of a snapshot than a well composed photo, but this is the Au Sable Light House in Pictured Rocks. Still, it ended up pretty simple and clean so I like it. I didn’t plan it to be the 4th of July pic,… Continue reading
