Water Ripples
Look at That
Some day I hope to publish a book of nothing but photographs of water ripples. I never tire of watching the colors change by the second as the light moves across the surface. Tonight, on the south breakwall in Pentwater, I pointed out these water ripples to several people passing by.
Leave You Breathless
Often customers come into the gallery and question if the colors of our photographs are real. The answer is always yes, the colors are real.
Rachel Gaudette’s Day 20 of 366 - January 20, 2020
The setting sun laid layers of color on the gentle, rolling waves of Lake Michigan at the first curve in the Ludington State Park.
Elixir
Having the flu is never fun, especially when you have to work. Today was the fourth Tuesday of "Tuesdays with Todd and Brad Reed" so I had no choice but to get off the couch and try making some strong images. I found this image on a large man-made pond near Muskegon, Michigan. Going through the process of making this photograph actually made me feel better. Photography is often my favorite elixir!
Dancing Blues
I often stand for long periods of time and watch the vibrant colors dance on top of the water. I find it visually stimulating and very relaxing. This morning, the surface of Hamlin Lake was dancing in blue.
Brad Reed's Day 248 of 365
My dad and I always look to put S-curves into our compositions. Tonight while shooting inside the Ludington channel, I noticed an S-curve that kept appearing on the water surface. I waited till the light got lower in the sky and made this photo.

Fire Within
What makes the fire within you burn? What lights my life up the most is having deep conversations with friends, family, and complete strangers or chasing the light with my camera. Tonight while walking out to the North Breakwater Light in my hometown of Ludington, I enjoyed a couple of nice conversations with people I just met, followed by shooting a unique sunset being reflected onto Lake Michigan.
