Some Caprock Canyons Photos and Why They Don’t Work

I went on a camping trip to Caprock Canyons State Park in north Texas. I was in hopes of getting in some good hikes and some good photos. My first day there I arrived about an hour and a half before sunset, so I didn’t have long to set up my tent and then hike… Read More Some Caprock Canyons Photos and Why They Don’t Work

Fiery Sky Over Inks Lake

The main point of this post is a beautiful sunset over Inks lake, but before the sun set there was some really nice golden light. I stood by the lake taking photos of a bunch of ducks that refused to swim in the right direction and then a big heron swooped in an landed on… Read More Fiery Sky Over Inks Lake

Sunrise Above the Clouds

As I mentioned in my previous post, on my last morning at Shenandoah I got up and checked out of the lodge early so that I could be somewhere for sunrise with time to take photos before I had to drive to the airport. My flight was at 1:30PM so I had plenty of time… Read More Sunrise Above the Clouds

Mary Had a Rock

My Monday morning at Shenandoah was cloudy and there wasn’t much chance of the sun getting through the clouds as it rose, so I don’t have any photos worth sharing of that. But I did meet my brother and his kids for a hike up to Mary’s Rock. This hike is out-and-back from Thorton Gap… Read More Mary Had a Rock

Hikes to Waterfalls

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently went on a trip to Shenandoah National Park for hiking and some fall color. On the Sunday of my trip, I planned hikes to go see some waterfalls. There are trails around the Big Meadows area that lead to waterfalls, so I planned to start here. My… Read More Hikes to Waterfalls

Shenandoah

I went to Shenandoah National Park. I planned this for late October to coincide with the leaves turning to autumn colors as this is a sight that I do not see often living in central Texas. The park is in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and has hundreds of miles of hiking trails, including the… Read More Shenandoah

Shooting In To The Sun

Sometimes I shoot directly into the sun for an image. This makes it very difficult to get an image that exposes the sun, sky, and landscape without clipping highlights and shadows. It is also very hard to avoid lens flare, but the best answer to that is a high-quality lens. In the image below, I… Read More Shooting In To The Sun

The Missing Armadillos

My blogging friend Carolyn is in town and I took her and her family on a hike to find armadillos. Not sure why she wants an armadillo, but I try not to pry into other people’s business too much. I do know a few good places to find armadillos that aren’t dead on the side… Read More The Missing Armadillos

Jupiter from the Driveway

Jupiter has been at opposition lately and closer to the Earth than it usually is and has thus has been quite bright in the night sky lately. Jupiter at opposition means that the Earth is directly between Jupiter and the Sun and not only is the Earth as close to Jupiter as it gets, but… Read More Jupiter from the Driveway

Pedernales Falls State Park

You may remember from my last post that I went to Pedernales Falls State Park with my daughter. Well, I went back Saturday alone as I wanted to do a lot of hiking, including going up to the river overlook to see what it looked like around sunset. Pedernales Falls State Park is west of… Read More Pedernales Falls State Park
