About the Image(s)
This photo of the Sturgeon Bay Canal Lighthouse “Stormy Weather” was taken in 2020 when we had a storm with lots of wind and cold temperatures. The photo was taken with my Canon 90D and Tamron 150-600 lens with an f8 aperture, 273mm, ISO 200, 1/100 sec exposure.

Our month is all about the color RED ! This is a striking image and Lighthouses are one of my favorite subjects. When I lived in Maryland I loved to visits all the Screw Pile Lighthouses, which were unique to the Chesapeake Bay. And one of our fave places in Florida is Sanibelk Captiva that just went through a horrible Hurricane. The Sanibel Light house survived which is amazing given the devastation elsewhere. It is their symbol now of revival.

Thanks for your comment Sherry. This lighthouse is a favorite of mine and many other photographers and a recent repainting gave it the bright red color. Posted: 03/14/2023 12:47:21

Welcome to our group Gary. What a great image. In your face colours and composition. The ice tells us the story of cold and the emptiness of the water tells us something about the lonely location. A very strong image indeed Gary, congratulations. Posted: 03/22/2023 03:17:18
Gary - welcome. The sis a great shot of the frozen water on and around the lighthouse and then the accent of the red - very dramatic. Great detail and well exposed. Again, welcome to the group. Posted: 03/22/2023 15:06:29
