Silver Lake Swirl - black and white
Silver Lake Swirl - black and white
The beach at Little Sable Point looks like ice cream swirls today. Wind and waves and sand have worked together to create one of the most unique natural artworks I have ever encountered on a Lake Michigan beach. Little Sable Point Lighthouse and autumn clouds provide an appropriately beautiful backdrop. F32 at 1/125, ISO 400, 24-70mm lens at 24mm

Guiding Light
Guiding Light
Many of our photographs are long time exposures that are shot on a tripod. We use time exposures because we photograph long after the sun sets below the horizon. This was a thirty second exposure, at F-stop 3.3, and at 100 ISO.

Red Sky At Night
Red Sky At Night
On an autumn evening at Ludington beach, I watched the waves take turns running toward and breaking upon the shoreline. While the light was changing, creating radically different photographs from minute to minute, the camera's view remained locked in place. The fickle light sometimes becomes dramatically more intense, and other times it just seems to fizzle. Staying, and watching, is the only way to know what the quality of light will be.

Gem Stones
Gem Stones
Over thousands of years, wind driven sand has polished smooth millions of stones along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The flat-sided stones are called ventifacts. I made this photograph near the Big Point Sable Lighthouse while on a hike to the northern boundary of the Ludington State Park.

Todd Reed's Day 6 of 365
Sometimes the simplest pictures are the best. At first I found myself looking and hoping for the presence of a duck or other added ingredient to this scene. The more I look, the more I see and appreciate the understated beauty of this stretch of the Pere Marquette River. F22.0 at 1/6, ISO 100, 300 mm lens at 300 mm

Ford Lake Sunrise
Ford Lake Sunrise
Our assistant manager, Rachel Gaudette, lives very close to Ford Lake in the eastern part of Mason County. For several years, she has been telling my dad and me to shoot a sunrise over her lake. Today, I finally took her advice and was blown away by the gorgeous sunrise that erupted.

The Manitou
The Manitou
The ice breaking tugboat Manitou was called into Ludington's port this week to attempt opening a path so other vessels could get back out onto Lake Michigan. I watched this small tug work for over an hour to get about a thousand feet. To my surprise, the mighty little ship made it out to open water.

Pentwater Refletions
Pentwater Reflections
I stood in one spot on a dune above the beach in Pentwater while waiting over an hour for the magic light to appear. In that time, I used a spherical perspective to imagine what different compositions would be in nearby locations. I knew that once the light appeared, I would try to make one of my shots from the water's edge and would have to lie on my stomach to capture it. My previsualization paid off. In two minutes, I made four strong images from four different spots that were all within 40 yards of my original spot on top of the dune.

Royale Experience

Being on Isle Royale is an incredible Michigan outdoors experience. Just getting to Michigan’s only national park is an adventure involving a seaplane ride or a potentially rocky boat ride on Lake Superior. But look at what awaited me during my first trip to America’s least visited national park in September 2014.

Brad and I were exhausted from hiking and photographing Isle Royale for 18 hours straight, but we were not about to pass up the chance to view the Aurora Borealis from a spot without lights anywhere in sight. When we emerged from the wooded trail to unlit Tobin Lake, we could already clearly see yellow-green and purple hues in the sky. We separately and quietly found shooting spots that fit our own ideas for building images. I decided to include a seaplane moored along the shore that I could not see at that time but had clearly seen earlier that day. As my eyes continued to adjust to the darkness, I could just see a faint glimmer of light from the Northern Lights reflected off the leading edge of the wing. I made a test shot of four minutes and determined I loved the composition. However, my histogram proved my exposure was still well short of ideal. I made another two shots to fine-tune the exposure. Unfortunately, upon checking to make certain the focus was perfect, I discovered that neither of the shots was sharp. I had only about 10 minutes left before midnight, time for only one more seven-minute exposure before it would be past midnight and any image I made after that would not be eligible for inclusion in our upcoming book, Todd and Brad Reed’s Michigan: Wednesdays in the Mitten.

This was no time to chance failure. Our ethics would not allow any bending of the truth or cheating of the clock. I made a smart decision. I woke up Brad, who was napping on the end of the dock after, as usual, finishing making a strong image before me. Brad ran to my assistance, quickly and decisively fine-tuning my near-sighted, near-focus, and returned to nap time while I made my one-and-only, all-important good shot. When we chose the resulting image for the back cover of the book, Brad resisted my attempt to give him half the credit for the image because it had been a team effort. Over the years, Brad and I have been eager to logistically help each other turn each other’s visions into good art. Teamwork is a big reason for the individual and collective success of Brad and me and all our other staff members past and present. I love being part of a great team—Team Reed.
