This is, without a doubt, the best photo I've ever taken.

Sunset on Lake Michigan at the pier in St Joseph, MI. Unaltered, as I don't even know how to use Photoshop.



Sorry about the size, dialuppers, but I didn't feel like scaling it down.

1. Gorgeous.

Digital? Digital SLR? Or regular SLR? Very, very nice, Blue-Jay. :thumbsup:

3. I dunno. I used my wife's camera. No special lenses or anything.

It's a Canon Powershot G6, 7.1 Megapixel.

2. Great pic!!

You could sell that one.

[Blue-Jay]

4. I might see if the St Joe Chamber of Commerce wants it.

They like touristy stuff.

6. It could be used on flyers.

9. I took it a month ago, but didn't see it until today.

My lovely wife (prolesunited) told me about it, but I didn't bother to look until a little while ago. Just got busy with vacation and things.

I'm no kind of photographer, but I sometimes get lucky. I'm surprised that I didn't screw it up to be honest.

A sunset from that side of the lake can be truly astounding...as can sunrise from this side. Or moonrise.
