I’m not typically a fan of abstract photography, or artsy shots. But every now and then I find exceptions. It’s sometimes difficult during the fall to find interesting photos, because once the initial color changes are over, things are pretty drab in many places. This particular photo I liked because of the contrast between the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I’ve tried a handful of times to visit Marquette’s Black Rocks (at Presque Isle) before sunrise, to catch the sun coming up over Lake Superior. I’ve only manage it once where there weren’t too many clouds to actually see some sun. As a result, I’ve played around a lot with long exposure images, since it […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I wasn’t really sure I liked the end result with this photo, but ironically when I printed it on canvas I found I liked it much better. On the computer screen, I think I feel critical because of the amount of editing and noise involved… but the texture of the canvas somehow smooths that out.

Sometimes with a photo I go back and forth on whether I like it or not. This one is one of those. Ultimately, I’m drawn back by the combination of the sharp lines in the branches and the smoothness of the reflection. I also like the opposing lightness of the branches and the darkness of […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Very shortly after I got my new camera (in 2018) I brought it along with my mom and youngest son on a visit to the Botanical Garden in Madison, Wisconsin. I was terrified I was going to drop it in the pond, while trying to get a shot of one of these dragon flies. Fortunately, […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Sometimes I just have too much fun playing with my balls. Well, after the one was so much fun, I had to get more, and now I’m waiting anxiously for my next chance to get to a thawed out Lake Superior shoreline so I can put my balls in the water and take pictures of […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I really like sunset shooting because of the contrast you can get with shadows. Though, on this one I spent way too much time fiddling with the coloring, especially the sky, to try to get it how I liked. Shooting in raw mode really helps with options when you’re back at your computer! Download: Green_Shadows-Asgard_Photography_IMG_0943.jpg […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

This was a difficult shot to get, and I’m still not 100% happy with it, because it was relatively dark and I didn’t really have the time to set up my tripod. (My son and I were hiking up Sugar Loaf and he reeeeeally wanted to get to the top.) There’s two trails up, this […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

At first I was really disappointed on the evening I stopped to take sunset photos at Presque Isle in Marquette… but I’ve learned over the years that sunsets are not always predictable. Usually not, in fact. And things can change very quickly. The evening I took this photo, it was 95% very bland, with soft […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I seem to end up with my favorite photos either on my way into Marquette or on my way out. I tend to stop often (which my youngest isn’t a fan of when he’s with me) so I can wander. It’s a great way to stretch the legs after the long drive up, though a […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

When I popped onto Facebook last night, I saw someone had posted a photo in a photography group I’m in that they’d taken at Side Cut Metropark. It showed high water levels, much higher than I’ve seen in the years I’ve been here. I decided today to try to squeeze in some time (though only […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Another version of a similar shot I posted recently… the same corner at Magee Marsh, but after about 15 minutes, the strong wind had completely changed the cloud structure and much more blue was visible. It felt very backward, given that there is no blue in the water. This is also pulled back a bit […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","max_pages":12}
