The shore of Lake Superior in Marquette is probably one of the most often visited spots for me with my camera… this was taken between the city and the Presque Isle park, where there are piles and piles of rocks intended to keep the forces of the waves at bay.

Frozen
Rounded Corners
Download: Rounded_Corners_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7451.jpg Thanks to being able to stand on the edge of a small cliff, this shot feels to me like it was taken from up in the air… this was on the tip of Black Rocks at Presque Isle in Marquette, looking South toward the main part of the park across a little inlet where […]
Clouds & Ice
When is a picture of a lighthouse even cooler than a lighthouse? When it’s hidden by frozen waves. When the weather is right in Marquette, you can see some pretty impressive waves off the shore of Presque Isle. My fingers suffered for the time I spent snapping shots this particular morning, and if my son […]
Alone & Cold
Taking advantage of my new zoom lens, on my last trip back to the U.P., I got some close up shots of the lighthouse off of Presque Isle in Marquette. It was a bit cloudier than I’d hoped for, and a bit calmer on this day than I’d have liked, but I really like the […]
Ice Splash
Now this would have been a great shot if there were a big boat out there… lol, but I like the ice and rocks and splashing… this feels like a good example of what winter in Marquette feels like. Not the most dramatic shot, but I thought it still caught a feeling. Download: Ice_Splash-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4213.jpg Camera […]
Frozen Falls
Of all the waterfalls in the U.P. I’ve gone to shoot, Munising Falls has been the hardest for me to time right. It seems like between the seasons, the weather and lighting is never quite what I want it to be when I’m able to stop. When I took this photo, the falls were almost […]
Winter Wonderland
I feel like this photo, so far, captures best my feeling of what winter is like in my home town of Ishpeming, Michigan. Somewhere under the snow, there’s woods. The only thing that would have made me like this photo better would have been if I could have captured it on a bright sunny day… […]
Lake Michigan Winter Sunset
This is another photo pulled out of my older folders… I’d originally been going for more snow in the foreground, but ended up cropping it so the trees would be the foreground. Lake Superior is always more impressive to me as a lake than Lake Michigan, but Lake Michigan tends to ice over near the […]
Frozen Sticks & Stones
I’ve often found that the weather that makes most people run inside is the most fun to be outside with a camera. Water and the cold make for great and unusual sights. Differences in the levels of oxygen or impurities in the water change the color and texture. And the temperature seems to create different […]
