Fishing Report
I was on the beach at Kewaunee, Wisconsin, taking photos of the lighthouse at sunrise. (Watch for that photo to be posted soon.)
I noticed the sun beginning to rise over the pier and started to take photos of it. Then I noticed two people walking along the pier, toward the sun, one from each direction. The two met and began talking. I moved my camera to frame the two in the orb of light from the rising sun behind them.
The two were fisherman – you can see one with a landing net and rod in his hands. I imagine they were discussing the recent fishing activity on the pier, like if any had been caught this morning, what they were biting on, how big they were…etc.

Rising Above
This is the lighthouse at the end of the pier in Kewaunee, WI. The sun rising over Lake Michigan created some unusual tones on this morning – due, I believe, to the low, thicker clouds that muted the light on the horizon.

Comforting Glow
It hard to beat the beauty of a sunrise filling the sky with color and the waves with sparkles. This is one of my favorite subjects – the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin as the sun rises over Lake Michigan.

Gold on the Water
The light reflecting off the water looks like streaks of liquid gold. This is a view of the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse. It sits on a long pier that extends out into Lake Michigan.

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
This 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
I 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.

Distant Desire
The lighthouse at Kewaunee, Wisconsin sits at the end of a very long, concrete pier. I was on the beach when I took this photo, just moments before the sun would rise.
