"Lake Michigan in the Winter"

What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

Nikon D5100

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

It was a cloudy day. Although the sun did pop out a couple of times, I used the natural outdoor lighting and no flash was needed. The lighting conditions were absolutely perfect, in my opinion. I think the shot turned out beautiful.

Advice

  • shoot many different angles
  • wait to see how the sun and other natural occurrences will change the photograph

What Type of Planning Was Needed to Set Up This Photo?

I walked the area back and forth and shot at many different angles. The sun popped out a couple of times so I re-shot a lot of the pictures.

Why Is This One of Your Favorite Photos?

This shot shows the natural beauty of Lake Michigan in the winter. The lighthouse in the background is just a nice added touch.
