Lighthouse

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.

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.

Anticipation

The sun is just about to inch above Lake Michigan’s horizon, just behind the lighthouse that faithfully marks the harbor at Algoma, WI.

I was hoping for a little more color from this morning’s sunrise…but, with all the lousy, overcast mornings I’ve had to endure lately, I really shouldn’t complain too much.

Embrace of the Sun

One of the things I like to do is catch the sun peeking from behind the Algoma, WI lighthouse.  I took this image last Sunday morning on my way to church.  The sun is rising pretty early in these parts right now.  This photo was snapped around 5:55 am.

More clouds in the sky would have made this a more interesting image for me.  The one thing I do like – and the reason I think it’s worthy of sharing – is the way the sun seems to reach around the lighthouse.  The rays remind me of  arms reaching around to gently, warmly caress the lighthouse. A good morning hug!

I’ve isolated and enlarged the lighthouse to give you a better view of the sun’s embrace. (Right)

This nightscape features the lighthouse at Kewaunee, WI – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.  The full moon was shrouded behind a layer of clouds.

I didn’t realize it until I was preparing this post…. If you use a little imagination while looking at the moon behind the clouds, it can look like the head of some kind of creepy ghoul.  (I see two eyes and an open mouth. Yikes!)

Night Vision

Full Moon, Kewaunee, Lighthouse, Pier, Lake MichiganA week ago the moon was full, temperatures were freezing and I was standing in the dark along Lake Michigan’s shore in Kewaunee, WI.  I’ve never attempted to shoot the Kewaunee pier and lighthouse from this angle before.  I’ll have to try it in the daylight, possibly for a sunrise, sometime.

I worked a bit to try and correct the color of this image.  Unfortunately, the mercury vapor lights of the city give everything a reddish tint that I wasn’t able to tone down much without making the rest of the colors look strange.

Beacons of the Night

Full Moon, Night, Lighthouse, RefelctionThe rising, full moon and the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse were competing for equal billing last night.

I did a little experimenting with HDR techniques.  I like the different colors created in the reflections by the orange-ish moon and the yellowish light.
