Eagle Harbor Lighthouse

Eagle Harbor, Michigan

The Eagle Harbor Lighthouse was built in 1851 because ships were using the harbor to carry ore out of the Keewenaw Peninsula of Michigan during the Copper rush. This structure replaced the original in 1871. I took this photo with my 1950's Rolliecord twin lens camera. It was necessary to stand on rocks below the lighthouse for the shot, so there were not many framing options.

Rolleicord V ,Kodak TMAX 100

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I just don't know how you get a sharper, sweeter image than this, Cindy. I would love to see the 8 x 0 print of this negative: i would bet it would blow off your socks!

A person after my own heart. l once had a large collection of old camera, including 12 Leicas, going back to the Leica 1. This photo and the story are most interesting.

You do have a wonderful collection of vintage cameras! I like the way you chose to frame this, in spite of the close conditions.

Luckily the option available resulted in a very pleasing composition ;~)
