How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Happy Easter! When it’s Easter there are usually a lot wildflowers to be found and I can’t resist taking a few close-ups of the flowers when I am out hiking. Yesterday I came across a rather large patch of bluebonnets on my hike and that gave me the opportunity to shoot close-ups and experiment with… Read More How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Does an Hour Make Much Difference?

Does it really matter that much what time of day you take a landscape photo? I thought of this quite a bit while out hiking Friday afternoon. There was an old dried out tree branch that I have photographed before in the tall grass and there was a nice breeze as well, so I took… Read More Does an Hour Make Much Difference?

Woodpecker and Cactus

I had just started my hike when I heard a thumping up in a tree. Looking up I finally saw the little woodpecker making all the noise. He was mostly in sunlight so I shot some pictures. I did have to try to wait until he wasn’t pecking. You can see a little motion blur… Read More Woodpecker and Cactus

Waiting for Spring

It’s not spring yet in central Texas, but it is getting close. It’s early March and I am anticipating wildflower season. But the plants have not awakened yet. The Indian grass has gone from gold to brown and the only green to be found is on the Ashe Juniper. The dead colors and threatening sky… Read More Waiting for Spring

The Sun Sets Somewhere

Sunday afternoon and time for a hike. I headed to Inks Lake State Park this week as the weather was nice and I wanted to walk those trails again. Either my memory is wrong or they have added a hiking loop. I had hiked the trails across the main road before, but then they had… Read More The Sun Sets Somewhere

The River

The riverbed in winter isn’t the most photogenic landscape spot around, but I needed a place for my traditional Sunday afternoon hike. It is free to go to Tejas park and park the car, and there is all the hiking you could want, and there aren’t usually too many people there. On this Sunday most… Read More The River

Golden Hour / Blue Hour

Getting out and shooting mediocre photos is much more fun that staying home in my opinion. So with that thought in my head, I went hiking yesterday. Climbing the rocky trails with a full backpack of camera, lenses, tripod, water bottle, etc. is good exercise even if I don’t shoot a photo. It was a… Read More Golden Hour / Blue Hour

Waterfalls and Armadillos

I went hiking in Colorado Bend State Park Texas and I thought it would be nice to go see the waterfalls. They aren’t huge waterfalls, but it is nice hiking anyway. Waterfalls The first trail I went up was the Spicewood Springs trail. This trail has a lot of small waterfalls along the rocky trail… Read More Waterfalls and Armadillos

Well, At Least I Had A Nice Hike

Trying not to waste my vacation days that I am using up at the end of the year, I went hiking out at Colorado Bend State Park (Texas) on Wednesday. There were some trails out there that I had not been on and I also had an idea about sunset. The park was actually quite… Read More Well, At Least I Had A Nice Hike

A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

On my recent trip to Big Bend I was hoping to get to some trails that I hadn’t been on before. One of the trails on my list was hiking on the Oak Springs trail which connects to a couple of potential waterfalls. I had visions of a glorious waterfall image in the late afternoon,… Read More A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes
