We didn’t have much time to visit this lighthouse during our trip to Holland Michigan but I was able to take a few quick shots. It was around 4pm in the afternoon therefore the shadows were somewhat harsh. I used my Lee graduated filters which helped a lot.

This is coming saying in our house right now.

Hopefully most who have visited my site have also traveled over to the blog site Prosophos. Peter, the man behind Prosophos often times post a series of pictures that tells a story. Please visit his site if you have the opportunity.
Today, I will start a series of pictures taken while on a hike at Saugatuck Sand Dunes park. I never realized that Lake Michigan was that beautiful!

Continuing with the theme from a few days ago, here is another picture from Lake Erie (Huntington Park). This picture was again taken using the Lee seven5 filter system. What I like about this system is how compact it is (fits in my pocket) and allows me to shoot at any time (even mid-day). I also like the fact that I can see immediately on the viewfinder what the image looks like. The only other way to make images like this is to shoot HDR and you will not know how it will turn out until after you have layered the different exposures.
This first image was taken with my Leica M typ 240 and the image tomorrow will be from the Leica M Monochrom, taken in the exact side spot with the same filters.
ISO 200 1 sec f16 21mm (Leica M Type 240, Leica 21mm super elmar, Lee seven5 filter set, Lee seven5 .6 graduated filter, Lee .6 solid filter, LR4, Nik Software, Define 2)
