Ok, it’s not a goose. But nobody ever played duck duck swan. I was surprised to see all of these birds chilling together – every time I’ve seen swans on the water, they chase away any other birds that get too close. Maybe the ducks raised this one?

Kensington Metropark
Sunset Flight
At first I thought it was dust on the lens, when I got back to edit this. Turns out the bugs are just much more numerous and visible at the right time during the evening. My lens wasn’t quite big enough to get as close as I would have liked for this shot, but I […]
Duck Log
When you can be eaten by fish, it’s best to sleep while not floating. Toward the end of an afternoon sweating my way around Kensington park, I found these guys settling in for a rest. I’m not sure how many babies they managed to fit onto that log, but it was impressive. These kinds of […]
Evening Avian Meeting
There’s so many variables in photography… I often struggle with knowing the right choice in foreground / background focus. In this case, I intentionally let the background be more blurry than I’d normally like, because the leaf cover was kind of swampy looking in general – I wanted to keep that more abstract. Plus, it […]
Feathered Sentry
Evening at the Kensington Metropark in Michigan is a great time to take photos of herons and other birds – there’s a small island that many nest on, and come back to, as the evening goes by. For the first few years I’d gone there I couldn’t get any really good photos, as there’s a […]
Swamp Roots
What I like most about this one is the branches (dead trees) in the water. It almost looks like there’s no ground, and you can see roots for the trees in the background. I get lost in looking at trees sometimes, especially when there’s patterns like this. Download: Swamp-Roots_Asgard_Photography_IMG_5987-scaled.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/16 Exposure: 1/200 […]
Bipolar Swan
I’ve posted a few photos like this, and to be honest it’s not my favorite – either the bird or the shot. It feels too empty to me. But, the reflection thing catches my attention when I’m wandering by the water and see them, especially when the water is calm. I think maybe part of […]
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 […]
