DOWNLOAD: Sunset_Reader_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7778.jpg I’m still not super comfortable about “street photography”, though I forced myself to ask this woman if I could take a few photos, when I saw her sitting and reading on the rocks while I was there to try to capture the sunset. I was really happy with the results, though I have no […]
Silhouette
Sunset March
I’ve always preferred including people in silhouette if I’m taking photos in public that have people in them. My inner introvert is a little to strong and keeps me from getting up in people’s business. But having people in landscape photos really can enhance them greatly. I think this one is a perfect example – […]
Family Time
This was taken on a recent trip to the U.P. while enjoying the sunset from Black Rocks at Marquette’s Presque Isle. The few evenings I tried to do some sunset photos that trip the weather didn’t really cooperate to provide the right kinds of clouds (almost none) so I ended up doing a lot more of the silhouette of people kind of thing.
Sunset Lines
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 […]
Up Up and Away
This is another shot pulled from my older folders, from images I initially ignored because of the quality of the original captures. In this case, the exposure and ISO were far less than ideal. However, I felt I was able to clean it up enough with some newer Photoshop tricks to make is passable. 🙂 […]
Take Me To Your Leader
A while back I did a “365 day challenge” to take at least one photo every day. It was probably the hardest thing in photography I’ve ever done. Not only do you run out of ideas, there are some days you just don’t feel like taking a damn photo. However, it’s really great for sparking […]
Sun and Son
It’s gotten harder over the years to bribe my youngest son to pose in photos… he long ago decided I took more than enough of him. But sometimes the shot just needs a person in it to really work. A few times a summer he and I travel back up to the Marquette area in […]
Wishing I Was Outside
Another of my Android photos… taken in my home office with the sun creating a fun shadow on the wall across from my desk. I haven’t lived in that house for a while, but I found several great shadows over my time there. If you can’t be outside, at least you can think about being […]
Evening Flowers
One of the great things about using a faster shutter speed is you can get a more dramatic look, with the right combination of light and shadow. I’ve often used this with a setting sun in the background to get a fairly sharp but almost silhouette foreground. What really fascinates me is that this takes […]
