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 […]

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 […]
Edge of Winter
When I lived in Saline, my apartment complex had a few trails behind them through a couple of square miles of woods. There was a small river that ran through it. I spent a lot of time walking the trails, though didn’t honestly get a ton of photos… partly because it was pretty early in […]
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 […]
Sloping Perspective
While visiting the Grand Marais area in the U.P., I’d tried to get some shots around the “Log Slide” area (where they used to get cut trees to the boats.) I wasn’t very successful… it was a bit overcast, and I hadn’t been there before, so wasn’t sure what to try. I almost decided to […]
Not Quite Lost
“Street” photography makes me uncomfortable because I don’t like to impose on people or invade their space. So when I do take pictures with people in them, I tend to be sneaky about it. (Which is today’s day and age is probably a recipe for disaster.) I did actually make some business cards so that […]
Sunset Shoreline
When I lived in Saline, Michigan and didn’t have direct access to the kind of outdoors that the U.P. had spoiled me with, I spent many evenings walking over to the Saline river with my camera. The fun challenge was trying to find new ways to see the same small area. In this case, it’s […]
Driftwood Sky
I was tempted to photoshop some cooler waves into this… Lake Superior often messes with me. When I’m not there, I see photos posted on Facebook where the waves are several feet high, but as soon as I roll into town she calms right down. When you’re only in town for a few days, it’s […]
Birch Twins
I probably would have liked this shot better further into summer with some green… but then without that you can see more sky, too. In either case, I really wish this was the view from my back yard! This was across the highway from the Seacoast Resort on 28 near Au Train. Download: Birch_Twins-Asgard_Photography-IMG_2169.jpg Camera […]
