The stretch of water on the Maumee River that runs through Side Cut Park isn’t always very picturesque. There’s a lot of mud and brown most days of the year. However, sometimes I’m really happy with the way the variables come together. In this case, with the sky very empty of clouds and the sun […]

Take Me To Your Leader
A while back I did a “365 day challenge” to take at least one photo every day. It was probably the hardest thing in photography I’ve ever done. Not only do you run out of ideas, there are some days you just don’t feel like taking a damn photo. However, it’s really great for sparking […]
White Water Bloomers
Bokeh is a fun effect to play with in photos (the repeating shape in the background – it’s formed by blurred light taking the shape of the open shutter). There’s a fun related trick I’ve only tried once, where you cut a shape into a piece of dark cardstock or cardboard and make a lens […]
Green Shadows
I really like sunset shooting because of the contrast you can get with shadows. Though, on this one I spent way too much time fiddling with the coloring, especially the sky, to try to get it how I liked. Shooting in raw mode really helps with options when you’re back at your computer! Download: Green_Shadows-Asgard_Photography_IMG_0943.jpg […]
Water Buddha
I really like when I take a photo but end up finding out the best part about it only when editing them. In this case, it was the face of a laughing Buddha just left of center in the water stream. You gotta love pareidolia. The main thing I’d been going for with this was […]
Light in the Woods 2
There’s a previously posted version of this (more closely focused on the downed tree) but this one also has the sun itself and more of the surrounding trees. I’ve included an alternate of this alternate shot too, as I couldn’t decided which I liked better. You can download either below, or click the thumbnail to […]
Light In The Woods
On one of my efforts to drag my youngest son into the outdoors, we wandered some trails at Side Cut Park along the Maumee River. I found the setting sun poking through a spot in the woods near a fallen tree that caught my attention. I really liked the light, though this was right after […]
Faded Glory
While walking home from shooting at the park, I decided to try to photograph a waving flag that had the sun behind it as it was setting. With the higher shutter speed, the movement is caught somewhat frozen, creating an interesting texture that combined with the light seeping through created an almost illustrated feel to […]
