When I went out to the star party at the McDonald Observatory, I wanted to try out staying at the Indian Lodge in Davis Mountains State Park nearby. This state park has a hotel that was originally built by the CCC during the great depression, I think. It had good reviews and it seemed like… Read More Staying at Indian Lodge
Central Texas has had a lot of rainfall and flooding lately. One of the results of this rainfall is that the rivers are flowing at much higher rates that normal. North of the town I live in, there is a low water dam on the South San Gabriel river. It typically is little more than… Read More Flooding is Good for Waterfall Photos
I had some time Friday afternoon before sunset to take some photos. It had been raining a lot and I wanted to go to Inks Lake to try to take pictures of the waterfall as I thought it might be flowing heavily. When I got there I found that the park was closed because of… Read More Some Fall Color at Inks Lake

I decided to look back at what I did in September that I am happy with. Perhaps if I do this for enough months I can get an idea about whether or not I am improving. I went back through the photos that I made in September and picked out the ones that I thought… Read More September Review
While I was out at the lake shooting photos, I really wanted to get a look at the shots that I was getting on a better screen than the one on the back of the camera. This happens to me often as I am not quite sure about my composition and exposure and the camera… Read More Editing DSLR Photos with an Iphone
