Sara

pho·to·gen·ic   [foh-tuh-jen-ik]

adjective

1. forming an attractive subject for photography or having features that look well in a photograph: a photogenic face.

When you look up the word “photogenic” in the dictionary, you should see Sara’s photo.

No doubt about it.  Some people are photogenic.  I’m blessed to have a wife that is one of them.  However, she’s not always willing to jump in front of a clicking camera.  I usually have to do a little coaxing.

This was a shot from the Happy Birthday to Me session.

Industrial Strength Sunset

sunset, photograph, Smokestacks, smoke, Industrial

The sun sets on an industrial area of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

This was a scene that caught me by surprise…but not without a camera.  I was doing a little shopping at a Fleet Farm store in Green bay, Wisconsin.  As I left the store and stepped out into the parking lot, this sunset was beckoning me.  Of course, my camera was in the car.  I jumped in and drove to a less congested spot in the lot and took this photo – shooting across Interstate Highway 41.

Beautiful Branch – Autumn Display

Autumn, Leaves, Fall, Color, Red, Yellow, Orange, Maple, Tree, Branch

The beautiful colors of autumn are a testimony to God’s artistic creativity. What a blessing to behold the autumn leaves.

The leaves in our area have faded and stripped from the trees by gusty fall winds this last week. But we still have some dandy images.

A Lovely Bunch

Red Mums, Mums, Red, Flowers, Fall, Autumn

The beauty of Autumn’s colors are not limited to the trees.  I found these gorgeous mums blooming at the entrance of the Public Library in Algoma, Wisconsin.

Hats off to whoever tended the their small flower bed.  It was a continual source of blooming beauty all season.

Rare Treat

Ground Squirrel, Chipmunk

A ground squirrel finds a rare treat and makes quick work of the cheese popcorn dropped by a passerby.

This was taken at the the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, Wisconsin. If you’re into these little critters, there are an abundance of them along the pathways.

Backlighting II

Full Moon, Lighthouse, Moonrise, Algoma, WI, Door County, Pier Light, Night View

A full moon rises above Lake Michigan behind the lighthouse at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.

I consider this a companion image to a sunrise I captured in a similar pose – both taken within a week of each other. The original “Backlighting” is on the right. Click it to view the full size post.

Getting the moon (or sun) in just the right position is a challenge in itself. You don’t realize how much movement there is in a rising or setting sun. The moment you get into position, the subject has moved off their mark. On both of these shots, I would be constantly moving to my left and down the bank along the beach, trying to line up the shot.

Sumac in the Sun

Wild Sumac, Staghorn Sumac, Autum Colors, Fall Colors, Orange, Red, Green

It’s autumn in Wisconsin and the leaves have turned brilliant colors. In this area, one of the most transformations is the wild sumac plant – turning from green to orange and then a deep red.

This is the tip of a wild sumac branch being illuminated by the morning sun. The photo doesn’t do it justice.

Fall Reflections

On my way to work, one morning, I stopped along the highway to photograph a patch of bushes that were turning bright fall colors. I’d been noticing them for days and finally took the time to stop, to catch the early morning light.

I took plenty of photos and then noticed the reflection from the water in the ditch that runs along the road. I thought the color combination was very appealing.

I originally titled this image, “Fall in a Ditch,” but as you can see, I thought better of it.

Kewaunee Pier Silhouette

Fishermen gathering on the pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin is a common scene each fall.  This was an early morning shot, just after sunrise.  The sun is rising above Lake Michigan, directly behind the lighthouse.  This shot was taken from the beach.
