Taken at Bond Falls in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. One of the better large water fall spots you can stop at – very accessible in the summer, and not too hard to get to in the winter. A lot of great scenes to find here. I was torn on this particular image… I get these kinds […]

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.

Leaning Into Fall
Some days when I take my camera out into the woods, the only thing I get is the walk outdoors. On this trip I think I took about 50 different photos, but ended up hating all of them when I got back to my computer. This one I hemmed and hawed on a bit… it […]
Wooden Web
While on a visit to my home town I made a stop at Deer Lake where I’d spent many hours of my childhood fishing and exploring. On this occasion I spent about 15 minutes there thanks to the mosquito convention that was apparently in town. What caught my eye here was the flowers, but the […]
Posing for Supper
I’d actually been crawling through the woods after a shot of a crane that was hunting fish… but this guy seemed to think I was the instacart delivery he’d been waiting for. He followed me for a while, sitting fairly close, waiting for a handout. Unfortunately for him, I hadn’t brought seed with me that […]
Pining For The Sky
It’s been a challenge finding new outdoors to be in while living in Toledo… especially outdoors that lends itself to landscape photography. But, that’s always the best challenge for photography in any case… finding pictures where you don’t think there are any. One of the parks I’ve wandered through is Oak Openings, which is a […]
Putting Down Roots
People often look at you funny when you crawl around on the ground with a camera, but it allows for a better shot in many cases. Especially with trees. In this particular case, it helps because it lets me hide the non-tree stuff on the horizon (houses, buildings, etc.) and lets this feel more natural […]
Thick Reach
Sometimes you have to bark up the wrong tree over and over on the off chance you’ll eventually get the right tree… actually, I feel like many trees have personality. Getting up close to them is where it’s easier to see that. This one felt tolerant but tired. Download: Thick_Reach-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4704.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/18 Exposure: […]
Cold & Fluffy
I wasn’t sure, but it seemed like this little guy was either sick or injured. He moved around a lot to stay away from me, but didn’t fly away. There weren’t any other robins nearby. It was a little cold out, which is why I’m assuming he was all fluffed up. I spent about fifteen […]
