The Light of the Lake


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   The Light of the Lake
The Light of the Lake
One of my favorite lighthouses, Marblehead off Lake Erie. I try to go up and get one photo of this lighthouse each season. This was taken in early April.
Dreamy effect applied in PSP 9.
F10, 1/400 Sec. 18-70 Nikkor Lens, with Polarizer and handheld.

  Fantastic image and use of effects, Mary!! Nice that I get to see a bit of Lake Erie...I don't know if it's the same in your crossword books, but in the Dutch ones, Erie is often the answer when the name of a lake is asked?

  You captured the wonderful setting of a lighthouse and as if setting by watching the water go by.

  This is lovely Mary and the dreamy effect is just perfect for this photo. I like the way the branches frame it as well. I've never seen a lighthouse (in person)---this makes me long to do so.
