On Sunday morning I went down to Austin. The two forecasts that I looked at said that the clouds would break before dawn. Driving down, I didn’t see clouds parting but I kept up hope. I got to the park and it was still cloudy, but I decided to go out on the pedestrian bridge… Read More A Few From An Austin Pedestrian Bridge
I have been wanting to try to photograph the Austin central library at night for a while. Maybe try some long exposure with the vehicle lights blurred on the street or HDR. I haven’t really been down around the library much, so I would be going down there cold without any real plans for photographs.… Read More Austin Library at Night
Trying to be more social, I joined a Meetup group for a photoshoot and socializing event in Liberty Hill Texas. Liberty Hill is a small town not far from where I live. There is a little downtown area where we met and explored different things to shoot. With the above I was capturing an establishing… Read More Liberty Hill Meetup
Maybe I am addicted to taking skyline pictures recently. It is not as easy as one would think to get these pictures to turn out the way you want them, so I keep going back and trying different things under different conditions. What I have been trying to catch are good clouds at sunrise, but… Read More Austin Skyline at Sunrise
There is a spot along the lake shore in Austin that I have come back to several early mornings, hoping to see those perfect conditions of light, sky, and reflections. From this place, I can mostly split the horizon with the reflections in the lake if the conditions are right. And it faces East, so… Read More Morning Twilight Reflections
There is a lens that I have been wanting, the NikonĀ AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR. It is a wide angle zoom that would be useful for landscape photography. My current lenses left a gap between 14mm and 24mm and I often find that I would like to shoot a bit wider that 24mm. Nikon… Read More Nikon 18-35mm f/4 Lens
I have been focusing on shooting Austin lately and have been running around downtown. I usually do this on an early morning when there aren’t so many people about and I can easily park my car. There is a pedestrian bridge across Lady Bird Lake from which you can see downtown and maybe a nice… Read More Three From a Pedestrian Bridge in Austin
A week or so ago, I was down by the Texas State capitol and tried to take a picture with several layers of stars in the architecture at a particular place. I didn’t have a lot of time as I was with people and I didn’t think the picture would come out with all of… Read More Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol
I returned to Mt. Bonnell park in Austin for another attempt at a panorama as I haven’t been up there in a while. I was hosting a couple of visitors and I thought that they might like to see Austin from up there. The afternoon was mostly clear, if a bit humid, but I had… Read More Downtown Austin Panorama
Across the street from where I work there is a building being constructed. I have watched them set up the large cranes and start laying down each floor of the building. It is still going up and I don’t know where it will stop. I thought that it might be fun to take some pictures… Read More Construction Site Photos
