[singlepic id=1798 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1567 w=480 float=left] 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… 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=1276 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1219 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Both created the same way, but the newer one had a brighter exposure available to integrate into the mix, and I added a… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1218 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1125 w=480 float=center] One day, several years ago (2009), someone at work noted that there were reportedly 18ft waves on Lake Michigan. A number of us decided to take a little lunch time road trip over to the lake to check it out. I absconded with the camera from… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1091 w=640 float=center] Back to not dying today – though fevers do apparently yield some odd dreams. Sometime not that long after the trip to Mackinac, there was a trip to the Traverse City area. One of the things to do was go to the Sleeping Bear Dunes –… Continue reading
