50+ MPH winds 15 ft. seas - sun shine - LIFE IS GOOD! My biggest challenge was steadying the camera on the tri-pod. If I would have let go of it, it would have toppled over.

This was my Favorite shot of the whole challange!!! I went to see your portfolio and OMG such awesome photos!!! What a Beautiful place you live to shoot shots like this... Ahhh but I think I'll stay down here in the midwest where it is semi-warm and admire your awesome weather from afar!! (burrrrrrrr)
Thank you all for your kind words and comments. If you look at my portofolio you see a lot of this South Haven lighthouse - hope you are all not getting board with this structure - but this day was my best shooting there so far!
Congratulations on such a wonderful and spectacular shot, and on your Second Place. I have to laugh, though - Shots of the South Haven LH have been winning all over the place this past week. The October 26, 2010 storm was the strongest ever recorded on the Great Lakes, even surpassing that which sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975. You are truly one of the dedicated photographers!
it is my goal to see this lighthouse...I grew up in St. Joseph, MI, so every time I see one of your pictures it makes me very, very homesick...very well done
Good photos of this lighthouse never fail to draw a crowd here at DPC, and for good reason. It's a thrill to go out and face a storm, and you captured the energy with this shot. Well done.
