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 […]
Wildwood Park
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 […]
Wet Woods
My first trip to a park with my camera during the Corona virus quarantine… didn’t end up being relaxing because everyone and their brother was there, and nobody was trying to stay distant from each other. Made me cranky. However, I was able to climb into the woods off the side of the road to […]
Bare Fall
My favorite tree at Wildwood Park in Toledo… I’m not sure if I’ve posted a similar photo before, I know I’ve gotten a few different shots of this same tree at different seasons and with different framing. It’s on the edge of a small rolling hill, and really stands apart from the other trees it’s […]
Fall Sunset
I passed over this photo several times without editing it, because when I took it I didn’t use the best settings, and it was a lot darker. In photoshop I cranked up the shadow areas and also brought down the highlights in the sky, and got a result I was pretty happy with. I like […]
Pythagoras River
This makes me think of every painting at a cheap motel I’ve ever seen. 🙂 As a photo, I’m not a huge fan of it, but I’ve always kind of liked that motel art, so kind of ended up liking this as a result. It didn’t help that the ISO was higher than I’d like […]
Into Darkness
As awesome as trails through woods are, there’s just something about trails through darkened woods after sunset that make you think twice before going in. Most often when I’ve visited Wildwood Park it’s been overflowing with people (it’s a popular “nature” spot for Toledo and the surrounding area) but it helps if you go during […]
Nobody Sees Me
I’m not entirely sure if he thought I couldn’t see him… maybe he forgot he’d grown that rack on his head that kind of stuck out from all the green. I really liked this shot because when I see it I feel like both the deer and the viewer are both hiding and spying on […]
