Danger Ahead

Photo of the Day

Yesterday I went back up north for the day. I had a few things to do in my old hometown, but I really wanted to see what the Lighthouse looked like in the next town over. After lunch we drove to Michigan City to see the historic lighthouse there. I was hoping for a north wind which I got, but I did not expect the lake to be down as much as it was. I guess it has been a while since I have been up there. The icy pier and lighthouse that I was hoping for was not there. A dull sky also made for some boring pictures. I tried a couple of things that I normally would not have done, and I liked the result here. I went for some detail of the area, and was rewarded.

Technical Data

I shot this picture three times. Something seemed to be missing the first two times I did it. I opened the lens all the way up to blur the background, and I liked the shot right away. When I imported the shot into Lightroom I forgot to turn off the sports preset on import. I liked the look, but did tweak it a bit to my taste. On a day when I thought I would come away with no keepers I was very happy with this shot.
