Morning Friends (cool)

Light and color sets the mood of any scene.  This is an image that I changed the color of.  The original image is an early morning, pre-sunrise scene – with the sky a golden orange.  Through a little digital magic, I change the hue of this image to a cool, purple.  To me, it now has an early evening feel.

The question is, which do you like better?  Compare the two and decide for yourself.  The original is here: Morning Friends  (Clicking the link will open a new tab, so you can go back and forth between the two.)

Cast Away

The early morning light offers a clear silhouette of two fisherman at the end of the pier, next to the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse.

This is similar to an image I posted a few days ago.  The two fishermen just seemed to be talking in the previous photo – Morning Friends.  I like this one because the fisherman on the right is clearly casting as the other watches.

Salmon Hunters

Sunrise, Lighthouse, Algoma, HarborThis is a fall sunrise at Algoma, Wisconsin. Fisherman line the piers in hopes of catching the salmon that make their way from Lake Michigan into the harbor and up the Ahnapee River to spawn.

This particular morning, low level fog covered the lake just beyond the piers. You can’t see them, but there were fishing boats trolling just outside of the harbor opening.

Fire & Ice Sunrise

Algoma, Lighthouse, Ice, Winter, Frozen, SunriseI just realized that I had never posted one of my all time favorite and best selling images on this photo blog.  It’s been around so long and many have seen it, but it never made it to this site.

This is the very first, high-quality photo I took that made me think maybe I could be a decent photographer.  This was taken in late December of 2006, using my old Kodak Easyshare DX7590.

The image, of course, is the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin, just before sunrise.

Full Moon of Mystery

This was supposed to be the Perigree Moon of 2012.  For all my efforts, I was unable to capture it full and unhindered.

On this particular evening, I went to the shore in Kewaunee, WI. I was hoping to catch a nice view of the moon rising near the Kewaunee lighthouse. As you can see from the photo to the right, thick clouds kept that from becoming a reality.

The large image above is the best shot I was able to get after the moon had moved up in the sky – still shrouded by the clouds.  It’s not what I was going for, but I kind of like the mysterious look of it.

For some reason, this photo actually reminds me of another photo of mine which, ironically, is an image of the sun:  Sailing Past the Sun

Bright Light Beyond

Finally a good one!  The weather and my schedule have not cooperated with me, lately.  It has been weeks since I was able to photograph a nice sunrise.

Normally I’m out early on Saturday and Sunday mornings trying to capture the sunrise.  The sun is rising early enough at this time of year that I was able to get out yesterday morning (Tuesday) before having to get ready for work.

This, of course, is the sun rising over Lake Michigan, beyond the lighthouse at Kewaunee, WI.  Taken about 5:40 am.

Under a Marble Sky

This is a companion to a color image of the same scene I posted a few days ago – the one I titled: Spring Enchantment.

I always find it interesting to compare the same scene in color and monochrome versions and see which I think is more appealing.  Often times I can’t decide.  I think I like the relaxing tones of the color version…but then I like the dramatic tone of this one.  If I had to pick one…ummm…well…  I guess I’d go with the color.  The green grass won me over.
