Sorry about the title! Our journey to get shots of these Michigan Masters of Light started at around 4.30am in the morning. It was a 3 hour drive around Lake Michigan and through Indiana to get to the lighthouses, this one being Saint Joseph's. Four of us carpooled and surprisingly not much sleeping was done on the way there, instead much studying of the book "Masters of Light" was read and read again. Fantastic book if you either enjoy photography, fine art of Lighthouses, or any combination thereof!

This trip was part of a day shoot with Willard Clay and Hank Erdmann. Two fantastic landscape photographers, regardless of whether you've heard of them, you've probably seen their images, especially Will's in one of his books or maybe you've marked off a date on one of his calendars, they sell across the US and the UK, maybe Europe also, I'm not sure. Its always a real privilege shooting with them and chatting too them.

This was shot handheld with the 5DmarkII and 70-200L f4 IS, not so much through choice, but because I snapped my Gitzo Carbon Fiber tripod earlier in the day! The tripod snapping didn't worry me so much as I knew it would be covered under warranty, I was more concerned that the only battery I had for the 5DmarkII would undergo extra stress as a result of me using image stabilization on the lens much more, all was fine though, plus I had the 50D. As a result of the tripod failure this was shot with me laying down on the ice, I'm glad I had cold weather gear on!
