What I like most about this one is the branches (dead trees) in the water. It almost looks like there’s no ground, and you can see roots for the trees in the background. I get lost in looking at trees sometimes, especially when there’s patterns like this. Download: Swamp-Roots_Asgard_Photography_IMG_5987-scaled.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/16 Exposure: 1/200 […]

Leaning Into Fall
Some days when I take my camera out into the woods, the only thing I get is the walk outdoors. On this trip I think I took about 50 different photos, but ended up hating all of them when I got back to my computer. This one I hemmed and hawed on a bit… it […]
Wooden Web
While on a visit to my home town I made a stop at Deer Lake where I’d spent many hours of my childhood fishing and exploring. On this occasion I spent about 15 minutes there thanks to the mosquito convention that was apparently in town. What caught my eye here was the flowers, but the […]
Rocky Sunset
This was taken on an evening when the weather wasn’t cooperating (anyone who goes out to photograph landscapes knows how frustrating the weather can be in that regard.) On this trip the sky had been annoyingly free of clouds during sunset time, except for this one night, when for whatever reason they’d roped off the […]
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 […]
Tall Trail
I liked the big tree on the right, but mainly I liked the lines here… the first thing that had caught my eye was the squiggly snow covered tree on the ground on the lower left, but also that combined with the straight lines from the shadows. You can’t quite tell that Lake Erie is […]
Retro Woods
On my way back to my car after a photo trip to Magee Marsh I snapped some random photos of trees as I walked by them. This one in particular, for some reason, seemed to want to be in black and white. There’s something old and disturbing about it that catches me. I feel like […]

Fall Ball Self Portrait
Overall not the greatest photo… but I liked how the trees curve in the reflection. Plus, it felt like I needed to use one of a handful of these I took for something as it turns out that sticking a glass ball on dry leaves is a great way to start a fire.

Swan Horizon
I’d intended to get some shots at Magee Marsh but they were shut down for hunting of some kind or another, so I ended up walking around the ponds at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge which is nearby. Not as much woods you can get into, but sometimes some birds… in this case I apparently found […]
