Lighthouse and St Marys

This is a fun shot I took in the Port Washington Marina on June 19, 2015. Both the lighthouse (pierlight) and St Mary's church are iconic images of Port Washington, WI so I thought it would be cool to include them both in a single image.  I positioned my vehicle facing Lake Michigan and the lighthouse and adjusted my mirror to get St Mary's positioned in it.  I took about a dozen photos some with my 18-55mm lens and some with my 55-200mm.

I had no plans on making this image available for sale as it really is more of a novelty image so I did some colorizing and single image processing in Lr and Ps to add more color. The sky was a gradient from sunset but still flat and just boring in general so I painted a few layers of color, mainly grey tones on top to enhance the focal composition and draw the eye to the center of the image better.

I could have better positioned my vehicle and mirror but I really didn't have a lot of time to spend getting the perfect angle, and again, I really had no plans on selling the image so it is fine the way it is.

Room With a View

Room With a View is a "framed" print taken from Coal Dock Park in Port Washington WI. The observation deck is right on Lake Michigan facing east and a great spot to catch a morning sunrise.

The "frame" is actually and old window sash that I reclaimed and distressed.  I was able to get a few frames. They are all the same style, six light frames. After lightly sanding each, I distress each frame by hand and each finished "window sash frame" is slightly different.

The finished image in the frame measures 23 inches tall x 28 inches wide.  The image itself measures about 20 in x 24 in.




If you would like to purchase "Room With a View" I am asking $150. To purchase, use the Paypal "Buy Now" button below. I will hand deliver it to you, assuming you are in the Port Washington WI area.

Currently I have window sashes available but do not have an unlimited supply.

If you are not in the immediate area, please send me an email to netprofitsmedia@gmail.com and I will determine shipping costs.

Thank you for your support.

Strawberry Moon in Window

Strawberry Moon in Window is a "framed" print taken just outside the Port Washington WI Yacht club during the Strawberry Moon, June 2015. It is a 10 second exposure in which I lit the foreground with a flashlight to illuminate the rocks, adding dimension to the image.

Night and Day

The large, bright full moon illuminated the marina in Port Washington WI.  Moments earlier, this moon had a pinkish hue, and appeared as the "strawberry" moon.
