Grand Marais Sunrise Lighthouse Photographic Studies

When you are out and about with your camera with the intent of taking landscape photographs, do you find a location and remain stationary? While there are certainly some locations where the interplay of light and the subject demand a preferred location for taking a photo, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not “move around”!

This morning I was out before sunrise (per norm!) with the intent of photographing the Grand Marais, Minnesota lighthouse. The skies were clearing over Lake Superior, and the dawn was gorgeous. Here are three images I took over the course of ten minutes exactly. I changed locations frequently and the amount of zoom utilized which affected the sky displayed in any one image.  As the saying goes, every picture tells a story … in this case three different stories at essentially the same time.

  1. Your pics, as usual, are glorious. Almost makes me wish I was up north experiencing winter.
    Uh, no, I’ve come to my senses–glad I’m in warm sunny Florida:-) (The birds down here would like their picture taken too!)
