The stretch of water on the Maumee River that runs through Side Cut Park isn’t always very picturesque. There’s a lot of mud and brown most days of the year. However, sometimes I’m really happy with the way the variables come together. In this case, with the sky very empty of clouds and the sun […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Spring and Fall are difficult times for me for photos that are near the water… I wrestle with the right settings for the smoothness of the water and the harshness of the bare branches. I took about 20 different versions of this photo, and this was the closest I got to being happy with the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I wasn’t sure, but it seemed like this little guy was either sick or injured. He moved around a lot to stay away from me, but didn’t fly away. There weren’t any other robins nearby. It was a little cold out, which is why I’m assuming he was all fluffed up. I spent about fifteen […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Before this I’d only seen these guys wading in much shallower water. But he was almost having to swim where he headed to… he did end up getting his fish though. (I missed that shot.) The closer you get to these guys the more they look like dinosaurs and not birds.\u00a0 Download: On_the_Hunt-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4482.jpg Camera Settings […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

The big trick when taking photos of baby geese, is to always pay attention with the one eye that isn’t looking through the lens and make sure mommy or daddy doesn’t charge you. Even with my telephoto they weren’t thrilled with how close I was to their brood. I was surprised at the different ages […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I had to chase this guy around a little bit, he was very skittish. If I hadn’t had a larger zoom, I don’t think I’d have caught any shots of him. Most ended up having branches between me and him. I often find myself with conflicting feelings when photographing wildlife… I want to get up […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Spring is a bad time of year for crawling on your belly to get shots… unless you really like ticks. I don’t think I got any today, though I was sure the whole time I was taking this I would bring home a new friend. Never let it be said that nature and landscape photographers […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Sometimes the shots you like are planned out, sometimes they are happy accidents. This was taken while getting outdoors in the sunlight for some mental health time, bringing the camera along just in case. There turned out to be a larger number of herons than usual, fishing for their dinner. Rather than taking the time […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

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 […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

This photo was taken a while ago, though I hadn’t though about posting it here since it was more just something I’d taken for myself than for trying to create an image to be shared.

This was my second photo from the evening when I got my first close-up of the moon with the new lens… of the last year, this is probably my favorite photo I’ve taken.

When is a picture of a lighthouse even cooler than a lighthouse? When it’s hidden by frozen waves. When the weather is right in Marquette, you can see some pretty impressive waves off the shore of Presque Isle. My fingers suffered for the time I spent snapping shots this particular morning, and if my son […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","max_pages":20}
