Front Row Sunset

Another example of “ninja street photography” for when you’re too shy to let people know you’re taking photos of them in public. It might be easy to miss in the shot, but there’s a couple here watching the sunset. One of the things you can almost always find at Marquette’s Presque Isle. I was also […]

Hanging On

I’ve always liked shooting exposed roots, especially when they are clinging to rock. This was along the cliff edge of Presque Isle on Lake Superior… to my eye it looks like the tree has been sliding toward the water as the cliff erodes, but the roots are growing back to try to hang on. Who […]

Winter Waving

What looks colder than water splashing around ice and snow? Lake Superior can be a frigid thing. I’ve always been drawn to the opposite of the “spaghetti” style of shooting water (used often on waterfalls)… opposite in that by using a faster shutter speed, the water gets broken into particles and creates all kinds of […]

Rounded Corners

Change is Coming

That bank of clouds was actually moving toward shore at a pretty decent clip… I ended up not staying long past this shot, because I had to walk about two miles back to […]

Rainbow Bridge

Download: Rainbow_Bridge_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7768.jpg I wasn’t going to post this one at first, as it was almost kind of an accident, I hadn’t framed up the shot I was going for. But, through accident I got my favorite lens flare that I’ve shot. It wasn’t so much as a combination of camera settings as having “just the right” […]

Rooted in Winter

Download: Rooted_in_Winter_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7424.jpg I’ve photographed these roots a few times, though I don’t think I’ve had a shot I’ve posted here before… I was tempted to add a bunch of clouds to the sky in this one… but resisted the urge.  This photo is a good example of when I like to use a lower camera angle, […]
