Manistee North Pier Head Lighthouse at Sunset 2020

This is an image taken on the shores of Manistee at Sunset in June 2020. I loved how there was so many people enjoying the view, including a family on the end of the pier. The sun looks like it is melting into Lake Michigan.

Little Sable Point Lighthouse with the Milky Way

In early October 2020 I wanted to capture the Little Sable Point Lighthouse under the Milky Way before the Milky Way core moved below the southern horizon for the winter. As I was taking the photos used to create this image I realized there was a little wildfire smoke visible along the horizon. Although I was initially concerned about the smoke ruining the image, it had a fascinating effect of enhancing the glow of city lights across Lake Michigan in a translucent, illuminated haze along the horizon.

Grand Haven Lighthouse with Crescent Moon and Boat Traffic

This image of the Grand Haven South Pier Lights is a result of combining multiple photos taken over the course of an hour on September 19th, 2020. The colorful sky with people walking the pier was one of the earlier photos of the evening, so I combined that scene with some long exposure boat lights in the dark, along with the crescent moon as it descended above the pier.
