Nikon 18-35mm f/4 Lens

Colored lights at the Long Center in Austin Texas downtown at night

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

Three From a Pedestrian Bridge in Austin

railroad bridge in downtown Austin at sunrise

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

Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol

Focus stacked stars at the Texas capitol building 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

Downtown Austin Panorama

Austin city skyline panorama taken from Mt. Bonnell Texas

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

The Cactus Are In Bloom

Prickly pear cactus blooms in Austin Texas

I ordinarily don’t like prickly pear cactus. They grow everywhere around here and I don’t find them to be very pretty. But, for a short time in the spring they bloom with beautiful flowers. In Austin, near where I work, there are plenty of these prickly pear and I think that the blooms look nice… Read More The Cactus Are In Bloom

I have had a very hectic personal life lately and don’t really have a Wednesday blog this week. I am working on something for Saturday, if I can make a little time. Until then, here is a picture that I took in frustration one cloudy morning in Austin at about sunrise and tried to make… Read More Blogless Wednesday

Another Peacock Attempt

Peacock at Mayfield Park in Austin Texas

As you may know, there is a park in Austin with Peacocks. I have been to this park several times with the goal of getting a photo of the peacocks with their tail feathers on full display. My daughter wanted me to take her and her friends to Austin and one of the places we… Read More Another Peacock Attempt

Construction Site Photos

Building under construction Austin Texas Domain

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

A New 14mm Lens

Austin Texas Downtown wide angle

I got a new lens! I got a wide angle lens primarily for night sky photography. I wanted something wide and fast so I can get the dim stars across wide sections of the sky. The lens I purchased was the Rokinon SP 14mm f/2.4. There were lenses that are considered better, but they are… Read More A New 14mm Lens

Peacocks and Downtown

Peacock Mayfield Park Austin

My daughter is into photography and so one Saturday we went down to Austin on a photo shoot. It’s always nice when your teenage daughter wants to do something with you. The first place we went was to a park that has peacocks. I have been here before, but I have never been able to… Read More Peacocks and Downtown
