Wide Eyed Sunrise
Good morning Algoma! This is the sunrise greeting Algoma, WI Sunday morning, November 13, 2011.
There are several normal sized images I’ll post from this shoot, but there’s something special about being able to see the panoramic, wide-view – the big picture. This is a combination of three separate images “stitched” together.
To see a wider version (wider is definitely better) click on the photo.
Dawn’s Brighter Light
I’ll have to tag this as one of my favorites. The rising sun, muted by light cloud cover and hidden behind the lighthouse, created a wonderful pallet of fall colors.
Another image of the lighthouse at Algoma, WI.

Crimson Tide
Last Sunday morning I stopped by the Algoma, WI harbor on my way to church. (Thankful for the earlier sunrise due to the Daylight Savings time shift.)
It was a beautiful sunrise and a very productive shoot. I have several photos that I’ll be posting from this batch.
The sky is something on this one, but it’s the reflection off the water that makes this one for me. And the larger the image, the better it looks. To see it larger, click on the photo.
Moody Morning
My time is somewhat limited. My best opportunities for image hunting has been early Saturday and Sunday mornings. My best locations…given my limited time…is close to home. That’s why you see a lot of sunrise photos of the Algoma and Kewaunee lighthouse. (I live 2 miles from Kewaunee, 12 miles from Algoma.)
This was one of several nice shots I got from Kewaunee last Saturday. Winds have been gusty and the seas were rough. Then next morning – Sunday – I got some nice sunrise photos from Algoma. I’ll be posting some of those soon.
Burning Bush
This is what the sky looked like at my house last night. Well…at least a small portion of the sky. And, there really wasn’t any fire, just an amazing sunset sky.
I had to use the full reach of my 300mm lens for this shot. I think the bush is actually the top of a tree reaching above the horizion. The two sticks on either side are telephone poles.
The color range and smokey, warm-to-hot tones are what make this image for me.

Sweet Distraction
Yesterday morning (Sunday) I was on my way to church and thought I should stop and take a few shots of the sunrise. The church where I serve as pastor is just a few blocks from this scene. This is the Algoma harbor and lighthouse taken from the marina area.
Those few clouds caught my eye. Normally I would crop this photo more, but I purposely left a lot of sky above the few clouds. That just seemed right to me.
Feel free to leave your own thoughts as a comment below and share this post if you like it.

Opening Scene
I was hunting for a sunrise on a Saturday morning in September. Never actually saw the sun.
Those light streaks along the horizon were a muted orange color…so, I knew the sun was out there somewhere, but it didn’t show it’s face for this shoot. The great cloud bank redeemed the morning and gave me several interesting images. A good example is the panorama I posted as Panorama Perspective.
This was taken at the beach in Kewaunee, WI on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Panoramic Perspective
The clouds and the early morning light created a magical panoramic view. I snapped this yesterday morning from the beach in Kewaunee, WI.
I’m sorry the format of this blog is not conducive to getting a good view of panorama images. You can get a better view by clicking on the image.
I really wanted a huge sailboat to glide into this photo. How cool would that look. I also managed to snagged a few black-and-white images from this morning that I’ll post in the future.
Kewaunee Lighthouse Fly By
At the end of the Kewaunee, WI pier, a couple of fishermen watch a flock of Canada geese fly by.

Sunrise Brushstrokes
This was an image I snapped on my way to church Sunday morning, September 11, 2011. The clouds reminded me of the strokes from an artist’s paintbrush.
These are is the piers and lighthouse of the Algoma, WI harbor. The sun, rising above a calm Lake Michigan.
Early morning fishermen are starting to populate the piers as salmon begin their annual to come in to spawn up river. I took this photo around 6:30 am.
If this image appeals to you – by all means – share it with your friends. (Thanks.)
