A Tribute to the Edmund Fitzgerald 

The first shot would be my favorite. thank you for taking us with you and sharing the trip with us

Thanks Kevin, the photo without the people is my pick. Splitrock looks like a nice place.

As always, great work, excellent storytelling. 👌

All great photos. For me, my favourite is the first. Great video as always, thanks!

Thanks for sharing .The first shot is great. Like always I enjoy your commintery. Hope you had a safe trip home.

Wow!! Prob my favorite pics ever from you. I'm 57,originally from Michigan, grew up in TN. My dad told me about the wreck when it happened. Been fascinated ever since. Still in TN. but did take a trip to Whitefish Point a few yrs. ago. Thank You Sir!!

Nice work! First shot is my favorite.

Kevin, you definitely paid your dues that day, beautiful shots sir!

The first shot with the light beam streaming out into the lake is gorgeous. Amazing.

I love the 1st one with the light beam going out over the lake.. you never disappointed Kevin.. Great work as usual..

Another beautifully produced film of your adventure to capture that epic image. Superb work....as always :)

I really like both photos, but my favorite is your first photo with the light shining out to warn the mariners of the shore line. What a great segment! Yes he does look like a light house keeper!! Thank you!

Beautiful

Nicely done! Great voice for narration too!

Image one is my favorite. The Photo without the people makes it look more natural. Nice work!

My favorite is the first shot Kevin. It was not an easy decision. Thank you for your effort.

Kevin, I’ve journeyed to Split Rock Lighthouse several times, and to see the “lighting” is on my bucket list. By far I like the first photo the best. There are a number of notable stories about the light keepers over the years. Fascinating. Also loved your commentary.

I grew up near the North River in Massachusetts and I followed boat and ship traffic in and around Cape Cod. In November 1975 I was recovering from a broken back from an off road motorcycle accident which caused me to require a wheelchair for locomotion since. While in SCI rehab in November of 1975 I followed the in vain search for the Edmond Fitzgerald's Crew. It had a lasting impact on me and those in the sea faring community. Devastating accident but at that time we did not have the access to monitor weather changes as we do now. Thank you for this video about a moment in time that many of my generation will remember for the rest of our days. Personally, 1975 was the one year I would like to forget in my 69 years. I guess we all have one year we'd all like to forget.

Wonderful as always Kevin! The Woodrush was the first boat on the scene from the Coast Guard. Was transfered to Alaska and was revered there by the locals. She was then sold to the Republic of Gana. She assisted with the Valdez disaster. Also saved passengers and crew from the Holland America Princendam fire. She is often overlooked, but historic in the Great Lake and Alaska

Geeze Kevin…… you ask me to choose between two equally fabulous photos?! Once again your video was a joy to watch. Your tenacity amazes me….. far, far more investment than I could imagine, and in the cold even! 🥶🥶🥶 I love both photos. 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you for sharing. I send you warm wishes! 😉

The shots were amazing, but the first one was my favorite. I have to say knowing why the lighthouse was lit, the first photo brought tears to my eyes. Yes, Ed looked every bit the lighthouse keeper. So glad you finally made the trip, it will be something you'll remember every November 10th.

Wow, spectacular video Kevin. They are all beautiful shots but I guess the first shot is the one I like the best. The last time I was at Split Rock was 2005 when I drove around Lake Superior.

Very nice, someday I’ll try this…the full moon rising behind the lighthouse in December is very cool as well, that also brings out many photographers.

The first pic was my favorite. I love the Fritz. By far my favorite. Did a report in school on her and have been hooked ever since. Thank you for this video. Knocked it out of the part just like normal. Your narration is top notch!!

Kevin, thanks so much for bringing us along on your journey. Your photography and video skills really shine exceptionally in this video. Lovely tribute to the EF.

Amazing work! The first shot is my favorite. Although the mechanics of photography are like Greek to me the story you tell and images you capture are incredible. Keep it up!

This was an awesome video. I got chills seeing the fantastic pictures. I also can't choose between those 2 pictures. I loved them both. I bet you slept good that night. Thank you for making this. Never heard of a lenses heater.

Ola Kevin 👋 love your videos and narration !! Thank you very much ! I live in sturgeon Bay and have a RU-vid channel . Is call EL CHIROSO :) thank you again for your videos 👍 I have to say that I like the first picture !!! awesome photograph stunning 🤩 thank you and keep up the good work 👍

as usual, excellent!

Amazing shots, I'm real happy for you, that you made it. First shot is most often the best one, and I like it. The evenings true hero surely would have been Edd.

As always Kevin your production is incredible. I would very much like to add one of your photos to my collection. Tom.

Bravo! Both are exceptional! The first one is iconic and the other is a tribute to those who didn't forget those aboard and the tragic story. I have been to in-class photography and online classes, and I have learned more by watching your videos than in the other classes. You keep your explanations and applications simple and not overly complicated. With your pleasant demeanor you are a true teacher and storyteller. Thank you once again for a wonderful video!

Nice work, Kevin

Thank you….

Such good stuff, Kev. Love your videos and history. Excellent!

They are both great shot's....but I like the first the best with no people and the beam of light shining out into the lake. just the way it would have looked when the Fitz headed out on its fateful last trip.

Another Masterpiece, in all respects, Kevin! Gordon Lightfoot and the 29 souls from the Edmund Fitzgerald would be very proud of your most excellent tribute!

Yep, I watched the whole 18 minutes...fantastic work man! I think the first exposure is magical! Tho..every shot is great! Keep it up man!

I love the photo and just subscribed to your channel, ive been doing amature photography for around 7 years and just recently began dabbling in film photography (thanks to my mother) I don't know how those pictures will turn out though

Loved the one without people.

Very nice job. Your videos are always first class. Your photos were spectacular. Personally, I like the first one without the people in frame. Thanks!

Without the people.

Great shots as always kevin wish I’d known you were there I’d of come over and said hi, I was at the ceremony

Our family went on a trip down Superior's shores several years back. Is the "Famous" Split in the rock fallen in or were you on the wrong side to see it? We bought a refrigerator magnet showing the split, Very well done video and I preferred the first photo.

Wow, never ceases to amaze me. I got to watch the presentation online this year, but your behind the scenes view really completes the package. First image was money. As always, thanks for taking us along.

A masterpiece of a video and a wonderful tribute. I preferred the first image without the people and had the beam of light. I really like hearing about how you set up your compositions. A lot of thought and care goes into your decisions. That lens heater is and will be a game changer! Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for bringing us along with you.

Minus photographers is my choice.

I have a question sir, do you ever use a smartphone such as an iPhone for your photograph ?

Spelled "Edmund".

The one without people.

Kevin, I absolutely love the 1st photo...haunting.
