Bond Falls is probably the biggest waterfall in Upper Michigan, or at least the biggest one that is pretty easy to get to (depending on what time of year you go.) The main falls are pretty spectacular, but you can hike up along the side and there are many smaller falls as well. A great […]

Duck Duck Goose
Ok, it’s not a goose. But nobody ever played duck duck swan. I was surprised to see all of these birds chilling together – every time I’ve seen swans on the water, they chase away any other birds that get too close. Maybe the ducks raised this one?

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 […]
Evening Pine Halo
Just more of my fascination with silhouettes. Most people don’t take a photo of the sunset and then block the sun, lol. I liked the patterns of light and dark with this one.

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, […]
Posing for Supper
I’d actually been crawling through the woods after a shot of a crane that was hunting fish… but this guy seemed to think I was the instacart delivery he’d been waiting for. He followed me for a while, sitting fairly close, waiting for a handout. Unfortunately for him, I hadn’t brought seed with me that […]
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 […]
Pining For The Sky
It’s been a challenge finding new outdoors to be in while living in Toledo… especially outdoors that lends itself to landscape photography. But, that’s always the best challenge for photography in any case… finding pictures where you don’t think there are any. One of the parks I’ve wandered through is Oak Openings, which is a […]
