When I first got a camera, I looked down my nose at waterfall photos. It seemed like everyone was taking them, and for some reason it just didn’t make sense to me. I wasn’t interested. But they grew on me. I go back and forth between preferring the “spaghetti” look vs. capturing a high speed […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

While I tend to only shoot images with an obvious subject or subjects these days, I’m still sometimes fascinated with images that focus on patterns or textures. This was taken back in my early days with my first camera, through a window of my car idling on the side of US2 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

While I wasn’t completely happy with the composition of this one (mostly because of the way the shoreline weeds are arranged) I did like the clouds and sun. In particular, how the clouds appear to wrap around and hold the sun in place. I was hoping for more of the reflection of the sun in […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

When I lived in Saline, my apartment complex had a few trails behind them through a couple of square miles of woods. There was a small river that ran through it. I spent a lot of time walking the trails, though didn’t honestly get a ton of photos… partly because it was pretty early in […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

This was taken on the north shoreline of a long strip of land that juts into Lake Erie from Cullen Park in Toledo. For a good while now, Lake Erie (at least on the Toledo end) has been having issues with algae blooms, to the point of becoming poisonous. One of the times I visited […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

To be honest, I don’t remember (and can’t tell) if this is an alligator or a crocodile. I’ll have to wait and see if I see it later or in a while I guess.

Crosswinds Marsh in lower Michigan is one of the places I’ve got a few times and never gotten a shot I was completely happy with. Yet, it feels like a place where I would get shots I love.

This is another shot pulled from my older folders, from images I initially ignored because of the quality of the original captures. In this case, the exposure and ISO were far less than ideal. However, I felt I was able to clean it up enough with some newer Photoshop tricks to make is passable. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Many times, simplicity is the key. What I like about this picture is the simplicity, combined with the angle (looking up from underneath a bit rather than down.) I’m often a fan of the blurred (bokeh) background as well.\u00a0 Download: Finding_Light-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4622.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f\/22 Exposure: 1\/250 seconds ISO: 1600 Focal Length: 250mm \ufeff<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

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.

I believe this is a red wing blackbird… taken on a trip to Kensington Metropark in Michigan a few years back.

The pareidolia face is a fun part of this, but mostly I liked the side by side textures of snow to ice to water, as well as the color balance. The sparkled reflected sun on the water helps tie the two sides together as well. While I typically tend to focus on larger landscape type […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","max_pages":17}
