Wow! Nice captures. I also prefer the B&W ones.

How did you stay dry out there? Or even stand up during that?

Whats cool about the lighthouse is that there is a breakwall that it sits on the corner of, at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. Also at the mouth of the river is an old coast guard building which was turned over to the park service here several years back and it juts out several hundred yards in the lake toward the lighthouse. So you walk down a long driveway and set up at the old coast guard station and you are protected to a great degree from the elements by the rock wall you see next to the lighthouse. With a 500mm, 600mm or 150-600 you can get really close shots and not get wet at all. I was down at the lake yesterday to see if I could get some wave shots at the lighthouse but the waves weren't that grand. The sunset on the other hand was spectacular.

In the early winter before the lake freezes the lighthouse gets completely encased in ice from the spray from the waves. It is an amazing sight.

p.2 #9 · p.2 #9 · Bigger waves then the lighthouse

Hello All,

That is an amazing set of images!!!! Really nice work.

As a compliment to your work I will offer this up.............it was captured during the 2009-10 ice breaking season. Before I retired I was the Chief Of The Boat and drove a 140' icebreaking towboat on the Great Lakes. Not a great image, but considering I was pulling the boat into the harbor this day I only lucked out on getting any image of it.

Cheers,

David

A picture IS worth a thousand words. What a powerful way to capture nature's fury.
