Shooting In To The Sun

Sometimes I shoot directly into the sun for an image. This makes it very difficult to get an image that exposes the sun, sky, and landscape without clipping highlights and shadows. It is also very hard to avoid lens flare, but the best answer to that is a high-quality lens. In the image below, I… Read More Shooting In To The Sun

Hiking the South Unit

I also spent a couple of days at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but I don’t feel like my pictures from the South Unit were nearly as good as those from the North Unit. I am not sure why but it may be because most of the hiking trails that I went… Read More Hiking the South Unit

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?

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

Ghost Town

Terlingua Texas Ghost Town

If you want to get a decent breakfast when camping out in Big Bend, you can drive in to the town of Terlingua. There are a few restaurants in Terlingua, but not much open for breakfast. La Posada Milagro is open and has good TexMex breakfast food. The dining is all covered patio outside, which… Read More Ghost Town

The Balanced Rock

I have been planning another trip to Big Bend National Park as there are photographic ideas that I want to try and hiking trails that I haven’t been on yet. So last weekend my oldest daughter and I went and camped a couple of nights and I tried to get some of these things done.… Read More The Balanced Rock

Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement

Thursday evening there was finally a cloud or two in the sky and I thought I might get some nice photos so I went hiking at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I initially hiked up the Rimrock trail to some overlooks to see what the view looked like, but I didn’t find it very compelling… Read More Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement

Sunset at Warbler Vista

I did a little hiking at the Warbler Vista area of Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I don’t usually come to this area as it doesn’t have as many trails as the Doeskin Ranch area, but it does have some nice overlooks. It was a cloudy day, but I hung around until after sunset anyway… Read More Sunset at Warbler Vista

Bluebonnets of Big Bend

In the autumn Texans look with envy upon the New England and Rocky Mountain states with their beautiful fall foliage, but in spring we get even with wildflower season. Wildflower season is in full swing in Texas right now and I took a few photos of bluebonnets while my daughter and I were out in… Read More Bluebonnets of Big Bend

Freezing Sunrise

It was a freezing Thursday morning and I was awake early. I checked the clouds outside my back window and from what I could tell there were high clouds which meant a chance at a nice sunrise. So, I gathered up my gear and headed out to Balcones Canyonlands for some photos. As I was… Read More Freezing Sunrise
