Exceeding All Expectations

The Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and piers stand guard over the harbor as they await the sunrise over a calm Lake Michigan morning. Algoma is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

As with other the images I captured and have posted from this particular morning, I’m impressed with the colors and textures in the sky and how they’re reflected in the water.

Though it doesn’t look like it here, this is a huge image.  It’s large size comes from the fact that I joined (or “stitched”) three separate shots into one image in order to capture as much of the scene as I could.  When snapping the shutter, I’m careful to overlap the edges of the shots so the software can find similar pixels and match them to each other.

Unfortunately, this panoramic format doesn’t show well here because of the limited space allotted for images.  However, as I usually do, I urge you to view its full-screen version by clicking on the photo.  Hopefully you have a large monitor – the bigger the better.

All of the photos I post are available for purchase. If you’d like to buy one, click on the blue “Buy this Online” bar below for a variety of print and frame options or contact me for digital purchase and licensing options.
