This is the last one I’m posting from my recent trip to the U.P. where I spent the first evening playing with long exposure shots. This one is actually a bit too over-exposed (so the waves are whiter than I’d like) but I still thought it turned out alright.

Upper Peninsula
Birch Twins
I probably would have liked this shot better further into summer with some green… but then without that you can see more sky, too. In either case, I really wish this was the view from my back yard! This was across the highway from the Seacoast Resort on 28 near Au Train. Download: Birch_Twins-Asgard_Photography-IMG_2169.jpg Camera […]
Stoic Pines
As much as I love Lake Superior, I can’t imagine trying to stand next to it season after season. These trees are tougher than they look. This was taken on a quick stop during my travel out of town after a weekend visit. The weather was getting pretty intense and I was trying to beat […]
Smooth Shores
There were several different framings of similar shots that I got on an evening after I’d checked into my motel. (Lake Superior was right on the other side of the road, so I of course had to take advantage of the lower evening light for some long exposure images.) I’d been playing with the settings, […]
Air Roots
I’m not sure which is worse in life… having problems spring up suddenly by surprise, or being able to see them coming from miles away. I imagine if trees could worry, these would be having all sorts of long lasting anxiety attacks. I’m often impressed at the hardiness and life along the shores of Lake […]
Teal Marble
On a recent trip to the U.P. I’d had dinner in Ishpeming with my two older sons, and didn’t have time to get back to Marquette to catch the sunset at Presque Isle. So I stopped at Teal Lake to see if I could find any shots there. The lakeshore on the Neguanee side is […]
Hunting Overkill
When you visit Lakenenland, one of the first things you’ll find (after the large dinosaur with a fish) is a gun boat in the pond by the entrance. I honestly hadn’t expected to see a boat with a machine gun that day. My guess is that if you’re duck hunting, this is probably more firepower […]
Duck Duck…
As much as geese are angry, ducks are skittish. I need to get a bigger zoom lens if I want to get more photos of these guys. This one took off right before I got into the position I was going for with the set up of the shot. I thought this ended up alright […]
Distant Memory
Right before turning off on a road to explore the Laughing Whitefish area there’s a post office for Deerton, Michigan. Right near that, there’s a house that’s seen better days. Every time I see houses like this (there are many along the roads in the U.P. when you get out away from the towns) it […]
