The older I get, the harder it is to get to some of these spots… there’d been some rain, so the ground was covered with really wet leaves and I almost broke a few things getting down and then back up again from this spot at the Tinker Creek waterfall. It was also difficult to […]

Calming Fall
Bond Falls is an impressive sight. It always strikes me, looking at a picture like this, how the long exposure creates a feeling of smooth and calm, but when you’re actually THERE at the waterfall, the raw power is overwhelming. There’s something to be said for a faster exposure in capturing the energy in the […]
Alone Time
The local government decided to rope off access to one of the better photography destinations in the area for some reason. I decided it wasn’t worth risking dealing with police, so just took some photos from the overlook. It was very disappointing after driving several hours to get there. Not everyone worried about the signage […]
Down to the River
Sadly, the stairs don’t really lead anywhere anymore… but it’s hard to pass up stone stairs in the woods for a photo-op. 🙂 This was taken at Farnsworth Metropark out West of Toledo. I’d been hoping to get some sunset photos, but had the wrong time of year for the right angle. Download: Down_to_the_River_Asgard_Photography_IMG_9460.jpg Camera […]
Summer Colors
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. Download: Summer_Colors_Asgard_Photography_IMG_9477.jpg Camera Settings Camera: Canon EOS 80D F-stop: f/10 Exposure: 1/200 seconds ISO: 100 […]
Water Stairs
Stairs to Atlantis maybe? This photo is a good example of where knowing how to make a composite is helpful… I couldn’t get the shot from under the trees with the smooth water (needing a longer exposure time) without the white of the waterfalls behind the trees (which are in the open) blowing out completely […]
Literally Fall
This tree has been falling into Lake Superior for about ten years I think. Maybe longer. I wonder if for the life span of trees and their slower perception of time it feels to it like it just tripped? 🙂  Presque Isle in Marquette is a great place to explore with a camera, as long […]
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 […]
Vines and Trees
I’d gone for shots along the beach, but took this on my way back to the car. (Honestly, I’ve not had much luck on the Lake Erie shoreline… it’s too baren or dead looking most times I’ve been there.) But we didn’t have vines like this back up north when I was growing up, playing […]
