Probably the hardest thing I’ve found for editing is clouds. Especially sunset clouds. I didn’t work on this photo in editing for a while because I really wasn’t happy with the clouds. The main one was actually from a plane that had gone by a while earlier. But, especially near the sun it’s hard to […]

Fuzzy Trio
This one sat unedited for a while because I wasn’t happy about the brown leaves and weeds in the background, and the depth of field wasn’t what I’d been trying for when I took the shot. But, how can you resist these fluffy little cuties? One good reason to have a telephoto lens… momma goose […]
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 […]
Fuzzy Shoreline
This was taken on the north shoreline of a long strip of land that juts into Lake Erie from Cullen Park in Toledo. For a good while now, Lake Erie (at least on the Toledo end) has been having issues with algae blooms, to the point of becoming poisonous. One of the times I visited […]
Finding Light
Many times, simplicity is the key. What I like about this picture is the simplicity, combined with the angle (looking up from underneath a bit rather than down.) I’m often a fan of the blurred (bokeh) background as well. Download: Finding_Light-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4622.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/22 Exposure: 1/250 seconds ISO: 1600 Focal Length: 250mm

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. It was trick on this particular day (a few years back) because I hadn’t had a lot of experience shooting waterfalls at that point, it was […]
Fast Food
Weeds aren’t the prettiest flowers, but they must taste just as good. This guy’s wings have seen better days, but he still posed nicely for a few shots. I really liked how the background came out in this – with the blurring and the color patterns. This is a good example of a shot that […]
Fall Sunset
I passed over this photo several times without editing it, because when I took it I didn’t use the best settings, and it was a lot darker. In photoshop I cranked up the shadow areas and also brought down the highlights in the sky, and got a result I was pretty happy with. I like […]
Pythagoras River
This makes me think of every painting at a cheap motel I’ve ever seen. 🙂 As a photo, I’m not a huge fan of it, but I’ve always kind of liked that motel art, so kind of ended up liking this as a result. It didn’t help that the ISO was higher than I’d like […]
