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

Scouting a Location in Austin

Panorama Merge of Downtown Austin Texas Skyline at Sunset

I have been scouting locations for a photograph idea that I have involving the Austin skyline. My idea basically calls for a panorama of a mostly silhouetted downtown against a nice sunset cloud show. This idea has two major challenges. Finding a good location from which to shoot. Being on location during a nice sunset.… Read More Scouting a Location in Austin

Victoria Peak

Hong Kong as viewed from Victoria Peak

On Saturday in Hong Kong, I wanted to take an easier day than the one before on Lamma Island. I decided to take the tram to Victoria Peak and hike around and enjoy the view. I did this a few years ago on a long layover, but I had more time on this trip and… Read More Victoria Peak

Sunset Over Austin

Sunset over downtown Austin Texas

As mentioned in this post, I set up in a parking garage to photograph a sunset over downtown Austin. There were a lot of clouds in the sky and I had high hopes of a nice sunset show over the city. So, I patiently waited for the sun to sink. I took this photo as the… Read More Sunset Over Austin

Austin Skyline at Sunrise

Doug Sahm Hill Park Austin Texas at Sunrise

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

Morning Twilight Reflections

Downtown Austin Texas at predawn twilight reflected in Lady Bird Lake

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

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 Nikon 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

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
