The problem with finding drama to photograph in nature is that it always ends up being on days where it’s rough being there…. this day was incredibly hot. I don’t think I lasted more than 30 minutes on the trails.

Not Quite Immortal
When editing this, I realized that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “new” looking statue in a garden. They all look like something out of a horror movie, or maybe some British scifi tv show. I’m not a fan of horror, but something about the aging garden statues made of stone really captures my […]

Hidden Fall
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 […]
Foggy Field
Download: Foggy_Field_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7010.jpg When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 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.

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 […]
Putting Down Roots
People often look at you funny when you crawl around on the ground with a camera, but it allows for a better shot in many cases. Especially with trees. In this particular case, it helps because it lets me hide the non-tree stuff on the horizon (houses, buildings, etc.) and lets this feel more natural […]
Thick Reach
Sometimes you have to bark up the wrong tree over and over on the off chance you’ll eventually get the right tree… actually, I feel like many trees have personality. Getting up close to them is where it’s easier to see that. This one felt tolerant but tired. Download: Thick_Reach-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4704.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/18 Exposure: […]
River Wanderer
I hadn’t actually been trying to take a photo with a person in it, but found out when I got home that I had in this case. One thing I like about the Maumee river is that the water level changes all the time. I like visiting when it’s low, as it usually provides for […]
