Sunset<\/strong><\/p>\n We caught two wonderful sunsets at Sand Point, just outside Munising, Michigan, on the Lake Superior shore. During the first, with the western sky beautifully lit after a rain shower, a fantastic double rainbow developed in the eastern sky! This beach contains a huge amount of driftwood, as well as a number of dead trees. The problem for me in making a photo was that every good subject for a foreground seemed to have a photographer and tripod in front of it! On the first night, I limited myself to photographing the photographers, and was happy to have the second chance the following evening, in making this image. <\/strong><\/p>\n Trillium 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Trillium 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Trillium 3<\/strong><\/p>\n Trillium 1, 2 and 3<\/strong><\/p>\n In May, the dominant wildflower in the UP seems to be the white trillium, Trillium grandiflorum<\/em>. Acres and acres of them line the road into the Miner’s Castle area, not far from Munising, Michigan. You can spend all of a cloudy day, playing with composition, and never run out of subject material. <\/strong><\/p>\n My white trillium images were made using manual exposure, spot metering on the petals of the flowers, then opening up 1 f-stop, to ensure the detail of the petals was preserved. The nice thing about photographing the same subjects on a cloudy day is that, once you’ve established your exposure, you can pretty much forget about it, and concentrate on your compositions. <\/strong><\/p>\n By Michael Goldstein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/jan2007\/Trillium001.jpg\")
