“When bright sunlight hits water, it creates a wonderful array of sparkles. When those sparkles are photographed, the aperture ring inside the lens makes them appear as perfect geometric shapes. I feel that the sparkles make this photograph a stronger image.” – photographer Brad Reed.

“This sunset image is actually a several second exposure, taken as the last rays of light glisten off of a rock on the Lake Michigan shore.” – photographer Tom Haxby.

“This evening featured what was probably the most magical light I’ve ever experienced in my life. Believe it or not these shots have very little post processing, this is what it really looked like when I was standing there on the St. Joseph Pier!” – photographer Christopher Kierkus.

“The waves were rocking out on Lake Michigan today. I wanted to get in the water to shoot this wave, but it was too rough and too cold. I have been inspired lately by the photography of Clark Little. He shoots photos of waves from in the water; however, he has a waterproof system and lives in Hawaii!” – photographer Brad Reed.

“The weather was not cooperating, but once I ventured out to the walkway and saw the puddles of water, I knew I could use the reflections of the lighthouse to get a unique image.” – photographer Bill Vriesema.

“One of the concepts my son Brad and I emphasize to our photography students is framing. Using something in the foreground to frame or partially frame an image provides immediacy, depth and added interest elements. I framed this shot shortly after sunrise at the beginning of November along the Lost Lake Trail.” ~ Todd Reed

“After taking another hike around Pickerel Lake, it reinforced my opinion that this is probably the most beautiful park in all of West Michigan.” ~ Christopher Kierkus

“I admire the craftsmanship and the beauty of this wooden vessel as it sailed past me onto Lake Michigan into another spectacular Ludington sunset.

On this evening I was on the end of the South Breakwater and the view was picture perfect.” ~ Todd Reed
