  • Hi, my name is Jeff Spangler, thank you for recognizing this photo. This was taken at about 3:30 in the morning using a Canon Digital Rebel XT. The lake you see is Silver lake in Fenton Michigan. It was a fantastic light show to say the least and was fortunate enough to have my tripod with me at the time.

  • Hello, my name is Jeff Spangler and this one was taken in Tawas Michigan. I love this beach along lake Huron. Over the years the wind has has swept the sand in such a manner that you can walk out into the water for about a quarter mile without getting you knees wet. The woman in the photo is my x-wife. I shot it with a Canon Rebel XT.

  • Thank you for your votes! I'm Alexey Pronin, now live in Miami, Florida. This is one of the first photos I took in October 1992 with my very first SLR camera (Minolta with a 28-200 Tamron lens). Obviously, I used a film (negative), which was later scanned. I liked the way these water lilies looked back-lit with the sun behind them. Taken in St. Louis, Missouri.

  • Thank you for your recognition! My name is Jamie and I am from New Jersey. I took this photo while hurrying through the Metro in Washington DC with my Nikon D90 on a trip a few months ago. I went through a few edits before deciding on this black and white, which is something I do frequently.
