Another example of “ninja street photography” for when you’re too shy to let people know you’re taking photos of them in public. It might be easy to miss in the shot, but there’s a couple here watching the sunset. One of the things you can almost always find at Marquette’s Presque Isle. I was also […]
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.
Shared Sunset

I’m always happy when I can combine silhouettes with sunsets. This was yet another shot taken at Presque Isle in Marquette, on a trip back home. I think another reason I’m drawn to it (besides having grown up visiting this spot) is that I find silhouettes of couples enjoying the sunset to be a romantic […]
Golden Hour Beach

I wasn’t really happy with the clouds and sky in this shot, but I’d been trying to capture more how the light reacted with the grass and moss along the tree-line. I’m fairly satisfied with the overall shot here, though it still didn’t fully capture the golden “feeling” of being there in that moment. Sunsets […]
Evening Pine Halo

Just more of my fascination with silhouettes. Most people don’t take a photo of the sunset and then block the sun, lol. I liked the patterns of light and dark with this one.

Sunset Pine

I really liked the texture of the shadowed pine needles. Overall I didn’t feel it was a very strong image, but the texture won me over for posting it anyway.

Black Rocks Reflections

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.

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 […]
