While traveling through Wisconsin and Michigan in the fall of 2018, one evening I ended up near Empire.
The evening was like any other on a typical trip; shoot as long as possible then try and figure out where to sleep.
This particular night was very windy right on the lake so I looked for a good place to sleep a little off the lake shore. My choices were very limited, given where I was. After trying a few campgrounds that were closed I finally found one to call home for the night. After settling in I started the task of figuring out where I would be shooting the following morning.
Most mornings are well planned; this one was different. I had focused primarily on the evening prior and let the next morning be what it was. Looking through my atlas I was looking for water to photograph at sunrise. Being on the west facing side of Lake Michigan I knew I had to look for a pond or smaller lake.
I found one only about twenty minutes away from camp and set my alarm.
Morning came and I was on location a couple hours prior to sunrise. I needed the time, as I had no idea what to expect when I arrived.
I found my location on the top of a ridge placing the wind coming in off Lake Michigan to my back. The wind that morning was some of the strongest I have ever stood in. I had to set my tripod up near a fence so that I could brace myself against it as to not fall over with the gusts.
After shooting the scene I was set up for I had noticed the color changing behind me and ran down the dunes to try and get a shot of the turquoise waves with the light.
I set up my gear and framed in the shot, capturing this wonderful image on the shores of Lake Michigan that very windy, perfect fall morning.

Due to the nature of digital photography and the fact that photographs, once sent, cannot be returned; Tyler King Art has a strict NO REFUNDS POLICY. Once a transaction has been completed (i.e., the buyer selected and paid for the photo and then Tyler King Art sent the buyer the correct photograph) it is then considered non-refundable. If a buyer has selected and purchased an incorrect photo, he/she must notify Tyler King Art, before receiving the “incorrect” photograph. Refunds will NOT be given due to “not liking a photo”, selecting an incorrect photo after the buyer has already received the photograph, or any other reason. If a mistaken photo is sent to the buyer, as documented on the invoice, Tyler King Art will send the correct photo to the buyer free of charge.
If the buyer purchases an original ink drawing it can be returned at the buyers expense. The buyer will be refunded only after inspection of the art and it determined that there has been no damage to the item.
