I wasn’t really happy with the clouds and sky in this shot, but I’d been trying to capture more how the light reacted with the grass and moss along the tree-line. I’m fairly satisfied with the overall shot here, though it still didn’t fully capture the golden “feeling” of being there in that moment. Sunsets […]
Upper Peninsula
Toward the Docks
I often have mixed feelings about taking photos of the big ore boats often seen on Lake Superior. It’s not uncommon to see a bunch of people taking photos when the boats are coming into harbor or leaving. For myself, I don’t find the boats themselves that interesting to look at in detail. But with […]
Hanging On
I’ve always liked shooting exposed roots, especially when they are clinging to rock. This was along the cliff edge of Presque Isle on Lake Superior… to my eye it looks like the tree has been sliding toward the water as the cliff erodes, but the roots are growing back to try to hang on. Who […]
Winter Waving
What looks colder than water splashing around ice and snow? Lake Superior can be a frigid thing. I’ve always been drawn to the opposite of the “spaghetti” style of shooting water (used often on waterfalls)… opposite in that by using a faster shutter speed, the water gets broken into particles and creates all kinds of […]
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.

Nuclear Ice
Another photo that wasn’t overall super impressive for it’s own sake, but I really liked the one bit of ice that looked like a nuclear explosion. 🙂 Shooting ice and sunshine is always fun, but difficult to get right when you don’t pay attention to pesky things like white balance. But it often creates opportunity […]
Sunset Pine
I really liked the texture of the shadowed pine needles. Overall I didn’t feel it was a very strong image, but the texture won me over for posting it anyway.

Rounded Corners
Download: Rounded_Corners_Asgard_Photography_IMG_7451.jpg Thanks to being able to stand on the edge of a small cliff, this shot feels to me like it was taken from up in the air… this was on the tip of Black Rocks at Presque Isle in Marquette, looking South toward the main part of the park across a little inlet where […]
Future Sand
Download: Future_Sand_Asgard_Photography_IMG_8013.jpg I had to wade through about a foot of water to get to this location… there’s a rest stop off the highway that has a nice shoreline stretch to wander, but then there’s a small river letting out into the lake that you have to cross to get over to this little cove. In […]
