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

Photography in the Rain

I made reservations to go hike with the kids at Colorado Bend State Park several days ago, but as luck would have it Wednesday turned out to be a cold rainy day. The kids did not have any interest in going out and hiking in the rain, but I really wanted to get out of… Read More Photography in the Rain

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Leander Texas. It is not much of a town but it’s where I live. The building behind the Christmas tree is where I pay my water bill. HDR merge taken at twilight.

A River Hike

Just another hiking expedition to the trails along the North Fork San Gabriel river in central Texas. We received some rain and I had hoped that the river would have a bit more water in it, but it was about the same. I enjoyed some hiking anyway and carried around the camera with only a… Read More A River Hike

Big Bend Framed

You may have seen this picture on one of my blog posts about my trip to Big Bend National Park in October. I was really pleased with how this image came out and I was offered a free 20×30 print from Precision Camera for taking place in this workshop, so this is the image that… Read More Big Bend Framed

The Snail Close-Up

When it rains, the snails really come out around here and I have been thinking about trying to shoot some close-ups of one. They are relatively easy to capture, even for me, and they sit really still when you take their photo. This is important because in order to take a close-up, I was planning… Read More The Snail Close-Up

Hiking for Details

After being inspired by a YouTube video, I decided to go hiking with a longer lens and focus on shooting details instead of wide vistas. By longer lens I am talking about a 70-200mm telephoto zoom rather than the 16-35mm lens that I would usually walk around with. I also wanted to go hiking with… Read More Hiking for Details

Cloudy Hike

I went out hiking at Balcones Canyonlands for lack of anything better to do. There was a low puffy cloud cover that I thought might photograph well with all of the texture, especially in the late afternoon and I needed a good hike anyway. So up the trail I went. There aren’t many flowers out… Read More Cloudy Hike
