Mission Concepción

The northern-most of the four mission of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is Mission Concepción. This mission seems to be the smallest of the four and there were very few people there when I visited, but it does have the most intact surviving church from the 18th century and according to the National Park… Read More Mission Concepción

Austin in the Afternoon

I had Friday afternoon off, the weather was nice, and I needed to get out and do something. It had rained heavily the day before and I didn’t feel like getting muddy somewhere so I decided to go and hike around downtown Austin. The forecast originally called for heavy cloud cover so I had planned… Read More Austin in the Afternoon

Majestic

Majestic Theater in Eastland Texas

I had occasion to spend an evening in Eastland Texas, a small town west of Fort Worth. I spent some time shooting photos outside, but I was fighting a lot of dull cloud cover and eventually rain. Before sunset I got a brief break-up of the clouds and managed to shoot the late afternoon sky… Read More Majestic

More Autumn Color in Austin

Downtown Austin at Dawn with Autumn Color

I haven’t had enough fall color yet and I was concerned that I was early last week and might be missing a better show this weekend. So, Saturday morning I headed to downtown Austin again, but this time I went down to auditorium shores by the lake for a different perspective. I knew the sun… Read More More Autumn Color in Austin

Downtown by Twilight

Long Exposure of Austin Skyline During Predawn Twilight

I was up shortly after 5:00AM on Saturday and decided to go downtown to shoot photos. The forecast called for partly cloudy skies, so I thought that I might get lucky on a sunrise. I also wanted to experiment with a few things from the Pfluger pedestrian bridge, which overlooks downtown from the lake side.… Read More Downtown by Twilight

Sunday at Dawn

Downtown Austin Texas in the predawn twilight

It was Sunday morning and it was to be a bit cool and partly cloudy and I really needed to get out and shoot a few photos. So, Saturday night I set my mental alarm clock for 5:45 AM and sure enough, my eyes popped open 5:42 AM according to my bedside clock. I don’t… Read More Sunday at Dawn

Sunday Evening Outing

Redbud tree in Austin Texas on Lady Bird Lake

On Sunday afternoon my daughter asked me to take her to downtown Austin to shoot pictures. She loves to go downtown and downtown is nice, but it is not fun to try to find a place to park. It was nice to have an activity to do with my daughter, who is now 18 years… Read More Sunday Evening Outing

Still Chasing an Austin Sunset

Downtown Austin Texas after Sunset

I am still on a mission to get a nice sunset over downtown Austin. Thursday night looked somewhat promising, so I went to a parking garage that I thought would provide a good view. This parking garage is on the East side of Interstate 35 and overlooks downtown from the Northeast. I have been to… Read More Still Chasing an Austin Sunset

Up Before The Dawn

Long exposure of Austin Texas at dawn

Saturday night the forecast for the following morning looked good for some sunrise shots. As difficult as it is to get a good sunset, I find sunrises even more difficult for some reason. Perhaps because the air is a bit different just before dawn compared to just after sunset – cooler, drier, less haze. Also,… Read More Up Before The Dawn

Merry Austin Christmas

Texas Capitol Christmas Tree in Austin

I hope you had a nice Christmas; I did. A couple of days after Christmas, I went downtown at around sunset to shoot some pictures of the Christmas tree in front of the Texas Capitol. It is a large tree with light patterns that change every couple of minutes. I wanted to frame it with… Read More Merry Austin Christmas
