Sometimes I end up with different versions of a photo that I can’t choose between for which I think is best. This is a perfect example of one of those. I typically like photos that are landscape (horizontal) versus portrait (vertical). However, I feel there are strengths and weaknesses for each of these. Since I […]

Stormy Flowers
One of my personal rules of photography is that I try very hard to never edit a photo beyond what a realistic view of the actual scene would be. Some pictures need more post-editing than others, but I’ve never been a fan of blowing out the saturation, or other common photoshop habits people have. I […]
Flying Rat Convention
After finding something on Facebook marketplace that I wanted to buy, I ended up meeting the seller (who lived past Cleveland) at Lakeview Park. I brought my camera along using the trip as an excuse to shoot some shots. It didn’t end up being quite as big a photo day as I’d hoped… the weather […]
Morning Road
Download: Morning_Road_Asgard_Photography_IMG_6998.jpg Another shot taken on a way-too-early morning after having dropped my son off at school. I kept seeing a lot of fog along a few stretches of road so started taking my camera with to try to capture it. I never did catch it at it’s strongest, but I really liked this shot. Camera […]
Foggy Field

In this case, when you have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drive your kid to school, bring your camera with in case you find a patch of fog in a field you can take pictures of. This photo is another example of […]
Stoned Flowers
I find statues both intriguing and creepy as heck. Something about them both looking ancient and somehow ready to come alive. However, if you’re going to photograph human figures, it’s definitely easiest to do it with ones that don’t move a lot.

Ice & Sky
I posted a similar shot a few weeks back, but I liked this one too and couldn’t choose between them. This one doesn’t have the extra piles of ice in the background, but allows more focus on the roots and bark texture. Similar elements, but a different focus. (And by focus I mean attention, not […]
Winter Arms
I’d gone to the park when I saw it was snowing out… I wanted to try out my new camera hood I’d gotten a few months earlier. (Typically for shooting at waterfalls, to protect from spray, but works for snow pretty good as well.) However, it had almost stopped snowing by the time I got […]
Tall Trail
I liked the big tree on the right, but mainly I liked the lines here… the first thing that had caught my eye was the squiggly snow covered tree on the ground on the lower left, but also that combined with the straight lines from the shadows. You can’t quite tell that Lake Erie is […]
