You might notice several shots similar to this throughout the site… there aren’t a lot of waterfalls within easy driving distance of Toledo. The old locks at the Side Cut Park in Maumee are probably the most interesting. I like the combination of stone walls, trees and vines, and the water. The trick is going […]
Waterfall
Frozen Falls
Of all the waterfalls in the U.P. I’ve gone to shoot, Munising Falls has been the hardest for me to time right. It seems like between the seasons, the weather and lighting is never quite what I want it to be when I’m able to stop. When I took this photo, the falls were almost […]

Blue Hen Falls
I’ve been out waterfall hunting toward Cleveland a few times, and probably the smallest and least exciting was Blue Hen Falls. However, I was fairly happy with this shot. It was trick on this particular day (a few years back) because I hadn’t had a lot of experience shooting waterfalls at that point, it was […]

Roots & Water
I’ve ended up focusing on this corner a few times, while visiting the remains of the Canal Locks in Maumee’s Side Cut Park. Depending on the previous rainfall, you can get some interesting shots of the man-made waterfalls at several spots, but I really like the combination of the green and roots and water. Download: […]
Falls on the Wall
One of the stops on a day long photography group outing I took part in was in Elyria, Ohio. The two things I remember about Elyria, were this waterfall with the crumbling infrastructure, and the house nearby that had (among many other things) a singing Big Mouth Billy Bass on the outside of their house […]

Water Walls
When I first looked at it on the map, I didn’t think I would enjoy O’Shaughnessy Reservoir as a photo stop. I prefer natural water falls to dams. But I ended up finding a lot that fascinated me. In particular, the left corner next to the main wall of the dam, had several stepped areas […]
Dam Sunset
After having stopped at the O’Shaughnessy Reservoir earlier in the day when the sun was directly above, a group of photographers I’d gone on a day outing with had decided we’d stop by again on our way home to catch the dam in a lower light setting to allow easier long exposure shots. I was […]
Hidden Falls
When you go to a place every other day for over a year to take pictures, you start to have to really try hard to find different pictures to take, or risk getting really bored. This photo was taken while crouched down in the brush along the shore of the Saline River in Curtiss Park. […]
Water Shelves
Berea Falls near Cleveland, Ohio is one of my favorite non-U.P. waterfall locations to shoot at. I love the arches (not shown in this shot) and have yet to explore the whole area. This photo was taken on a trip where I’d hoped to catch some fall colors, but the water level was much lower […]
