North Pier Lighthouse

This past week I was over working in Benton Harbor, MI which is on Lake Michigan. It was a very cold and long week! Even after working 12 hour days Terry and I still made it over to the lighthouse to shoot some photos. We were treated to two great sunsets with some great colors and clouds. Its funny how we did not complain about the cold while we were shooting but it was all we could talk about while we were working. This was also my first real chance to test out my new toy, the Canon 5D Mark II! The detail that you can get out of this 21 mega pixel beast is just amazing!

Little Sable Lighthouse

After work today, I headed down to Silver Lake state park to check out the Little Sable Lighthouse. It is just another one of many lighthouses along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Big Sable Point Lighthouse

Today I headed out to Ludington State park which has a really cool lighthouse. It was a nice 2 mile hike back to the 112 ft tall lighthouse. It was a great way to relax after a hard days work!

More Lighthouse

OK so I didn't have much time after work to find a new place to take some photos, and it looked like it was going to be clear for sunset. So I went back down the street to the Ludington Lighthouse. One is before sunset and the other is after.

Ludington, MI

Today, I got up to Ludington MI for the start of two weeks of work. After dinner I made a quick trip over to the Lighthouse for a few quick shots. Hopefully tomorrow I can make it over in time to catch the sunset.

Marblehead Lighthouse

Today I went for a drive over to East Harbor State Park and Marblehead Lighthouse. It was a beautiful day for taking pictures and I had a great time. I saw a bunch of Great Blue Herons and even found some deer. The sunset at the light house was really cool, it was a great way to end the day.
