I always keep a pair of photographer’s gloves in my bag when needed.

I do too, and I had them on. When I took this photo, they were enough. I went out again in the evening and in about 10 minutes, my fingers were so cold, they were numb and I had a difficult time unlocking my car.

I like your photograph. It is framed on the right by the corner of the bench and on the left by the grasses. Well done.

Dennis

Thank you Dennis, much appreciated.

Beautifull! I too really like the composition. Leaving just a corner of the bench really lets the lighthouse be the center of attention. The dune grass gives it a really nice ambience.
Nice shot. :

Edit: Framing the LH with the strands of grass is a nice touch.

I didn't see that blade of grass doing it, if I recall right, but when I saw it in download, that was part of what I knew enhanced the composition. Thank you.

Very good. Love the bench in the foreground, showing depth.

Thank you, I think that is much of what "made" the photo.

Glad you got outside because your picture is beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😀

Me too, I went out again expecting an amazing sunset, sadly the sun went behind clouds and stayed there.

I have not been out photographing the beautiful winter scenes very much this year because of improved health, I get cold much faster and easier. However, yesterday there was no wind to speak of, the sun was playing hide and seek, and the bay in Frankfort, MI, along the shores of Lake Michigan was just beautiful with some newly formed ice on it. I was still able to feel my fingers after I took a few shots, so I wasn't frozen.

Thomas,

Thank you for your thoughts on this series. Sadly, it is peak color there right now and it is about 7 hours drive from where I live, and time is not available to return at this point. Otherwise, I would love to go do just what you suggest. Perhaps next year!

Great set! Stationed at Calumet AFS in the 1980s. Now is the time of year to make the drive to Copper Harbor. Thanx for sharing.

We did not get up into Copper Harbor, were as close as Ontonagon. My guy spent some time in the 70s at the AFB by Gwynn.

The whole area is beautiful. The downside is that the area near Porcupine Mtns has very few choices these days of places to grab a meal, etc.

I have to side with those who really dislike shots of waterfalls slowed way way down; I find it so unnatural. The smoothing with filters has been worn out, beaten to death so to speak. Not saying not to use ND filters, I do, but not for waterfall shots.

I certainly understand that, I like both ways, so I shoot it that way. With the cloudy skies we had, I did not need the ND to slower speeds there, I think I successfully hand held down to 1/4.
