It's not hard to take a good picture of the Copper Harbor lighthouse, but to take a great picture, that also includes a golden sky and a freighter too, takes talent, not to mention patience. I'm sure some of you are thinking that Shawn Malone was in the right place, at the right time, which is partly true, but she also had to know so many other important factors of photography to get this amazing shot. I had the privilege of meeting Shawn and Brian at the Copper Harbor Art in the Park back in August, where they had a booth lined with their photos. You think these pictures look good on your computer, you should see them blown up and right in front of your eyes! :->

That is an amazing shot!

Awesome photo this morning; good job Shawn!! :-)

Obtaining photographs like this isn't that hard once you learn all the controls on your camera and what they do. It also makes photography much easier when you have the proper equipment to go with the camera (tripod, lens, filter, etc...). Of course, I'm one of those "old-fashioned" photographers that uses film and not digital; I haven't found a digital yet that can match my Nikon with slide film for color rendition.....

But of course, it's only my opinion ;-)

Nice shot!

An A+ for this picture! Beautiful!

Just Outstanding...the pictures on this site just blow me away!

OH! WOW! Wonder which "footer" that is in the background?

Excellent pic!

Capt. Paul, I also use a camera that uses film; in fact, I am more low-tech than you as I use a 35mm PHD (Press Here Dummy) camera.

It doesn't get any more beautiful than this...what a calming, lovely photo!

Great picture Shawn!

Now THAT is a great photo! Nicely done Shawn!

Aaaaahhhh....that is where I want to be right now. Calgon...take me there.

I thought it was "Cowboy, take me away"?? Oh well, I just didn't want to admit I knew the Clagon commercial ;-)

Or the Calgon commercial either.......

Well, I expect either one would be acceptable...a cowboy or Calgon, just take me there. :-)

That is a terrific picture, with the lighting, composition with the freighter in the background of one of my favorite lighthouses, et al! Well done, Shawn!

Marianne I checked my e-adddress and there is a u missing after th---- fah.

Mary says: I've got that fixed up for you now, Fran. If it's still not right, email me at: mdrew@pasty.com and I'll get it straightened out for you!

i'd give anything to be in copper harbor for a week right now.

Jeffkal: So would I!

Ditto.

Thanks Mary, it is right now. I appreciate you help on this. Fran
