Lake Michigan Matins
Bathed in the pastels of pre-sunrise light, the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse seemed to be having it’s own time of devotion. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
I was able to make it to the beach to catch this sunrise yesterday. While there I snapped about 200 frames – many of varying exposures for potential HDR images and several multiple frame shots for potential panoramic views. This is the very first frame I snapped. On this morning, sunrise was at 5:05 am. This shot was taken around 4:50 am.
The length of exposure for this image was 1/3 sec. That’s pretty slow. At that slow shutter speed, any movement will be blurred; that’s why the waves in the foreground have a very “soft” look to them. I usually prefer my waves to be sharp but the softness seemed to go well with the pastel color scheme.
