Little Sable Point Lighthouse reminds me of a poem today. There is a perfect rhythm to the dune grass, clouds, beach and waves. At the heart of the poem is the grand old lighthouse. Photography is all about feeling and Little Sable Point feels perfect today. F14 at 1/100, ISO 100, 14-24mm lens at 14mm

I always tell people to bundle up and head for a Great Lakes shoreline in late autumn. The views can be as exhilarating as the crisp temperatures and breeze. I am not even thinking about being cold as I experience this view while hiking between Silver Lake Outlet and Little Sable Point Lighthouse. F11 at 1/640, ISO 100, 14-24mm lens at 14mm

For a truly dramatic photo of a Lake Michigan sunset, try using a large telephoto lens. With a very narrow view of the Earth, a large telephoto lens will intensify the color and drama in any sunset. The foreground in this photograph is a small dune at Stearns Park between the breakwall and the playground. F4 at 1/4000, ISO 100, 600mm lens at 600mm

One of the most surreal Northern Lights shows I have ever seen dances across the sky on the Ludington waterfront. Thanks, Brad, for waking me up. I had turned in early after a long day of shooting. Now I am back outdoors with my camera living the dream. F2.8 at 30 seconds, ISO 800, 24-70mm lens at 24mm

One of the beauties of living in Ludington is that we are close enough to the North Pole to occasionally be bathed in the colorful northern exposure of the Northern Lights. Ludington is aglow tonight with city lights and Northern Lights. F3.5 at 25 seconds, ISO 800, 24-70mm lens at 24mm

These rocks on the Ludington waterfront look hand-painted with snow today. Sometimes the snowfalls at the beginning of wintertime create crisp, interesting patterns. Soon these rocks will be covered with ice and will be picturesque in a more severe way. F13 at 1/125, ISO 100, 80-200mm lens at 200mm

Even using a tripod, I have to brace my lens against a tree to keep it from shaking in the wind tonight on the Lake Michigan waterfront. I love the patterns being made by the light, waves, and snow. I love the power and beauty of this view and want to make my image of it as sharp as possible. F2.8 at 1/800, ISO 800, 300mm lens at 300mm

The Ludington North Breakwater Light had an eerie glow surrounding it tonight as the western skies erupted with brilliant orange and pink colors during sunset. My dad and I ventured out into the wind and bitter cold to make our sunset photos and we were rewarded with very unique photographs of the iconic Ludington lighthouse.
