"Riveting Light" -Todd Reed
Sunlight turns the black base of the Ludington North Breakwater Light gold as the sun sets on yet another gorgeous summer evening on Lake Michigan. Both the lighthouse and the sunset draw people to the Lake Michigan shoreline nightly. Walking out the breakwater all the way to the lighthouse provides a fresh view and a dynamic perspective. Making pictures with a lot of dynamic angles in them is one way to create stronger images. [ Purchase This Photo ]

"Crimson Tide" -Brad Reed
Hoping to evoke the feeling of being in rushing water with this photograph, I marched into the waves of Lake Michigan with my camera and tripod. Next, I laid down in the water in a push-up position and used one arm to hold my body up and my other arm to help steady my camera. Luckily, the tripod held still during the half-second exposure and the camera survived being inches above Lake Michigan.. [ Purchase This Photo ]
