Crosswinds Marsh is an interesting place… aside from the fact that it’s literally across the road from a giant landfill. There’s a lot of wooden paths like this over the water to walk on, joining several islands. Depending on the time of year, some interesting views. Sometimes it can be really crowded, which makes it […]
Architecture
Buildings and things man made… the outdoors and natural things interest more more, but sometimes it’s fun to shoot in the city.
Bridge to Nowhere
Not the best ice/snow scenery when I was there this time, but I rarely am driving through when the fog is this thick. It made it a bit more interesting to drive over it when I was done hanging out with my camera.

Down to the River
Sadly, the stairs don’t really lead anywhere anymore… but it’s hard to pass up stone stairs in the woods for a photo-op. 🙂 This was taken at Farnsworth Metropark out West of Toledo. I’d been hoping to get some sunset photos, but had the wrong time of year for the right angle. Download: Down_to_the_River_Asgard_Photography_IMG_9460.jpg Camera […]
The Big Mack
I’ve taken a lot of shots of the bridge connecting the two parts of Michigan, but always while taking a stop from travelling. As a result, I’ve not yet had the ideal weather for a shot that I’m truly happy with. This particular time I’d stopped, I’d decided I wanted to try to find something […]
Paint Pipe
Download: Paint_Pipe_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7867.jpg I’ve been coming back to this spot in Marquette every other trip up… I really want to get a photo I like that involves this little concrete painted up tunnel, but I’ve yet to crack that nut. I know there’s some kind of framing or perspective that I will love, but so far it’s […]
Muddy Locks
You might notice several shots similar to this throughout the site… there aren’t a lot of waterfalls within easy driving distance of Toledo. The old locks at the Side Cut Park in Maumee are probably the most interesting. I like the combination of stone walls, trees and vines, and the water. The trick is going […]
Fluffy Water
While the long exposure “spaghetti” style of waterfalls can be interesting, I often find it fun to go the opposite direction and use a faster shutter speed to capture water in a more “frozen” kind of feeling. In this case, I liked the contrast of the “sharp” frozen water against the rounded “smooth” pattern of […]
Surprised Wall
This was taken at Bieber Mill (or Carpenter’s Mill, depending on your Google search)… many of my intentional shots from the stop here didn’t work out, it was hard to set them up as there was a larger group of photographers all getting in each other’s way. I liked this one because the wall looked […]
Forgotten Window
I could spend months driving back and forth across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my camera. I actually don’t remember where this picture was taken. I know it was on the West end of the U.P., but was from a few years back. It’s off the side of a road, though not a big road, and […]
