One For The Birds

This is a bird post. I don’t usually post about birds as I am not a bird photographer and I don’t have the equipment to be much of a bird photographer, but I chanced to catch a red-tailed hawk flying low over the park in the late afternoon sun and I got what I think… Read More One For The Birds

Austin Fog

I have been wanting to practice shooting in the fog. The fog obstructs your visibility and mutes the colors, but it also allows you to conceal the background and simplify your composition. It can also give a dreamy look to photos. Early on Saturday morning the forecast called for thick fog and I had this… Read More Austin Fog

Melting Hike

It has been unusually cold in Texas, which you know if you have paid any attention to the news in the US. My household made it through without any real problems. A few days of mostly no electricity and almost non-existent water supply. If you want to read about how woefully unprepared the state of… Read More Melting Hike

A Walk in the Park

Not much hiking and photography for me this week. The weather has been unusually harsh here, in fact in the 20 winters I have spent in the Austin area I have not seen weather like this here before. But, I still like to go for walks so I bundled up and went for a walk… Read More A Walk in the Park

The Tinaja Trail at Colorado Bend

Colorado Bend State Park has several trails that I have never hiked. I have been trying to check these off my list one at a time, but this park is a bit of a drive from my house (73 miles) so I can’t get to it as often as I would like. The park sits… Read More The Tinaja Trail at Colorado Bend

Freezing Sunrise

It was a freezing Thursday morning and I was awake early. I checked the clouds outside my back window and from what I could tell there were high clouds which meant a chance at a nice sunrise. So, I gathered up my gear and headed out to Balcones Canyonlands for some photos. As I was… Read More Freezing Sunrise

A Foggy Morning in the Park

It was a damp and foggy morning. We don’t really get a lot of foggy mornings around here and I have kind of been waiting on one to practice shooting in. The fog can hide what’s in the distance in a photo and leave a little mystery for the viewer or it can simplify a… Read More A Foggy Morning in the Park

What to do in January

The first couple of weeks of this year I have barely picked up my camera. I have been busy reorganizing my house as I now have my own office, which I am happy about but it has been a lot of work. We also had a rare (once in a decade) snow storm with a… Read More What to do in January

2020 Wasn’t All Bad

People hate the year 2020. It has been much reviled and its end celebrated. Perhaps this is justified as many tragedies occurred through out the year. But, it wasn’t a bad year for my photography hobby. In fact, I took some of the pictures that I am most happy with last year. At the dawn… Read More 2020 Wasn’t All Bad

Sunday Morning Hike at Balcones Canyonlands

I went hiking this morning out at Balcones Canyonlands Doeskin Ranch area. It was kind of one more free morning to go hiking before I go back to working tomorrow. There were quite a few people out there hiking and enjoying the morning, including one relentless trail-runner that must have been in amazing shape as… Read More Sunday Morning Hike at Balcones Canyonlands
