Download: Black_Rocks_Reflections_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7796.jpg The bigger puddles are good for reflecting the sky and clouds, but the smaller ones can create more interesting lines and shapes… with a shot like this I usually end up taking at least ten from different angles trying to figure out what I like best.

Sunsets
I’m pretty sure my vision has declined the last few years thanks to taking pictures of sunsets. More specifically, me not being careful and staring at the sun through essentially a telescope. That being said, I love finding new sunset shots with different landscapes.
Stone and Mirror
Download: Stone_and_Mirror_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7759.jpg One of my favorite spots for sunsets, Black Rocks at Presque Isle in Marquette (Upper Michigan). Especially when the waves of Lake Superior have left huge puddles up in the rocks along the lakeshore that make for great mirrors… twice the clouds and light for the same price. 🙂 The big risk, though, is […]
Evening Adventure
DOWNLOAD: Evening_Adventure_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7812.jpg The Black Rocks area of Presque Isle (in Marquette, Michigan) is great for sunsets most days, but especially when the waves have left pools of water up in the rocks, to reflect the sun and sky. When I’m there, I probably take about a hundred shots for every one that I end up liking, […]
Sunset Reader
DOWNLOAD: Sunset_Reader_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7778.jpg I’m still not super comfortable about “street photography”, though I forced myself to ask this woman if I could take a few photos, when I saw her sitting and reading on the rocks while I was there to try to capture the sunset. I was really happy with the results, though I have no […]
Sunset Point
I would give almost anything for this to be the view from my back yard. What I like about this photo specifically is how the clouds and rocks seem to mirror each other in general shape. Also, shooting a longer exposure allows for the “soft” feel of the water which just makes this feel relaxing […]

Beach Glass
One more glass ball photo from a recent trip north… one danger they don’t tell you about ahead of time when using these is how well they work as magnifying lenses. For example, you don’t want to hold one in your hand on a sunny day. Most of the time, in a shot like this […]
Black Rocks Journey
I almost didn’t end up using this one… I didn’t get either the clouds/sunset I wanted, or the reflection setup I’d hoped for, but what I like about it is the arc of the rock with a little bit of some people visible toward the end. The area to the lower left is just a […]
Sunset March
I’ve always preferred including people in silhouette if I’m taking photos in public that have people in them. My inner introvert is a little to strong and keeps me from getting up in people’s business. But having people in landscape photos really can enhance them greatly. I think this one is a perfect example – […]
Rocky Sunset
This was taken on an evening when the weather wasn’t cooperating (anyone who goes out to photograph landscapes knows how frustrating the weather can be in that regard.) On this trip the sky had been annoyingly free of clouds during sunset time, except for this one night, when for whatever reason they’d roped off the […]
