More Summertime Photos

The Point Betsie Lighthouse at sunset. This lighthouse is photographed often, even in winter. I do wish that they would get rid of the Lombardy Poplars that really do not help with the composition.




This next image is an experiment, though not original. A piece of glass treated with Rain-X and sprayed with water was suspended over some flowers. The goal was to get the flowers to show in the water droplets. Very shallow depth of field made it tough to get the bigger drops and the smaller drops in focus. Comments are welcomed.

July Images

Here are a few images that are from the height of summer. Hope it is a good one. The one on the left I will call "Last Light" because it really was the last light.






So ends another Cherry Festival in Traverse City. The weather was fantastic all week and the crowds were huge. Fireworks are one of the most difficult things to photograph. They are unpredictable, unless you are one of the technicians setting up the show.
