This walkway was just put in not that long ago and already looks like it’s been there decades… Lake Superior weather is not easy to, well, weather. This is the lighthouse off of Presque Isle in Upper Michigan’s Marquette, seen from one of the beaches on the road to get to the island. I haven’t […]

Fall Evening
Long exposures on rivers are tricky because of the trees and bushes along the side… if there’s any wind, you end up with blurry where you don’t want blurry. A good way around this is to to combine multiple exposures (take a couple of photos with different settings and blend them together in Photoshop.) In […]

Blue Hen Falls
I’ve been out waterfall hunting toward Cleveland a few times, and probably the smallest and least exciting was Blue Hen Falls. However, I was fairly happy with this shot.

Reaching Out
I really like trees. They fascinate me aesthetically and philosophically. It’s actually not always easy to get a shot of them I’m really happy with, though. It’s too easy to end up with pictures that look like so many other pictures. This particular angle isn’t anything new, but I liked the layout of the branches […]
Edge of Fall
I’d passed over editing this one to post it back when I took it a few years ago… but while cleaning out my folders I found that a new noise reduction filter I had really helped with the noise from the higher ISO setting. And I really liked the stillness of the water, which makes […]
Falling Behind
In the time I spent living in Saline, I walked the trails at Curtiss Park quite a bit. I was always fascinated by the way leaves would pile up at points in the river from time to time, it never looked like there was a reason they’d stick there with the pressure from the water. […]
