Lake Superior: Split Rock Lighthouse and New Web Site

Hi Gang,
This image was shot just before sunrise, August 13, 2009. The fog started to move inland off Lake Superior and into the harbor of Split Rock Lighthouse. There were high clouds (not seen in this image) and the fog was frequently changing its character. I don’t often shoot the lighthouse, but these conditions were producing a quality of light I have rarely experienced on Lake Superior (probably need to move there:))
I chose to underexpose the frame, making the lighthouse a silhouette, and forcing saturation into the colors. I also waited for the right fog bank to reveal the sliver of land in the foreground.
Technical Data: ISO100, f/11, 1.3sec shutter, -2EV exposure compensation, 70-200mm lens. no filters.

I’d like to use this image to introduce you to a new site I’ve launched, AC Johnson Photography Fine Art Prints. Over the years I’ve had a number of people make a request for this and finally found a cost/price effective solution to offering prints for sale. The site still needs a little tweaking for graphics, but its fully functional. Please take a look at the various galleries.

Oooh, these pics look nice. I guess in theory I should be able to click on “lightbox” under an image, then go to the Lightbox tab to see my chosen pics grouped together, but that doesn't work for me. However, I am on IE6 (not my computer), and it is throwing errors on every click. This is not your fault, of course, as IE6 stinks. I need to look at this with another browser.
Again, pics look really incredible. The spoon and cherry jumps out at me, hadn't seen that before. I am a fan of fat color. With that said, the B&W water scenes are way cool too.
Hah, hard to separate comments on what (the photos) from comments on how (the delivery mechanism). I am drawn to peer at the photos and ignore usability issues. Overall, the site seems to look and work pretty well, despite this old browser I'm using. It makes me want to see the prints in person.
Would like to hear your thoughts on the site as it is used and you receive feedback.
Terrific image.

I love this image AJ…and will echo Jeff's comment about “fat” color. I want to spread it on my toast and take a big bite. I will check out the fine art print page this weekend…can't wait. KG
