The Sun’s Warm Embrace

The sun seemed to be wrapping it’s fingers around the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse for a warm hug as it rose over Lake Michigan.

When I am catching a sunrise at a lighthouse setting, I often try to get the sun to line up right behind the lighthouse to create a great silhouette effect. The camera settings and a telephoto lens helped to create a star burst effect at the points were the sun was peeking around the edges of the lighthouse.

I like the tone and the silhouette effect here. The flying birds and the sitting fisherman’s silhouette (to the right of the lighthouse) were an added bonus.
