This photo was taken a while ago, though I hadn’t though about posting it here since it was more just something I’d taken for myself than for trying to create an image to be shared. However, this last year I’d wanted to try out a canvas printing service and ended up sending them this photo […]
Michigan
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 […]
Piggy Back Ride
I must have looked at these trucks as I drove past them on 23 heading North for the better part of a year before finally stopping to take a picture. This was my second attempt (the first was on a much cloudier day.) From the highway there’s a fence in-between where you can stand and […]
Hauling Nothing
Not to infrequently I end up with a shot where I can’t decide whether I like it or not. Usually they are the result of random things I caught while working toward something completely different. In this case, I’d stopped to take a photo of a pair of old abandoned trucks, but this caught my […]
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 […]
