I had a busy day today and wasn’t able to make an image during the daylight. Luckily for me, once it got dark, the moon was a perfect crescent, and the sky was crystal clear. Standing in the middle of Washington Avenue in front of my house, I shot this image with my camera on a tripod.

The colorful, atmospheric sunrise this morning stops me in my tracks. The sun is coming up through waves of fog rising over Pere Marquette Lake. I am glad I got out early to catch this one. F4.0 at 1/1250, ISO 100, 500 mm lens at 500 mm

Just before I went into Foster School in Ludington tonight to play basketball, I got my big lens and tripod out of the truck and photographed the moon. The sky was clear and the moon was bright, allowing me to get a sharp, detailed photograph of the moon. F5.6 at 1/320, ISO 100, 600 mm lens with 1.4 extender at 850 mm

Stars become tracks in a moonlit sky during a nearly four-minute time exposure. I love the view of the trees and sky from the deck of our cabin on the Pere Marquette River. F5.0 at 236 seconds, ISO 400, 12-24 mm lens at 24 mm

As the sun was getting ready to set over Lake Michigan tonight, I turned to the southeast and noticed the giant moon in the blue sky overhead. Luckily, I already had my giant 600mm F4 lens out and on the tripod. I pulled the 1.4 extender out of my bag and attached it between my camera body and the end of my lens to help zoom in on the vibrant moon even more. F5.6 at 1/1000, ISO 400, 600mm lens at 840mm

It almost looks to me like a bat is flying in front of the moon as I make this photograph of the full moon setting through a cloud. It is more than an hour before sunrise but already I have found my first picture of Week 48 of "Tuesdays with Todd and Brad Reed: A Michigan Tribute." F4 at 1/500, ISO 3200, 500mm lens at 750mm
