Lightning

Lightning in Leander Texas

Sunday evening as I was preparing to cook dinner on the grill outside, an unexpected storm moved in. It went from sunny and calm to winds and heavy rains in an hour. So, I cooked inside on the stove. But after the rains had stopped, I went outside and could see regular lightning all over… Read More Lightning

Austin Library at Night

Austin Central Libary at night in color with blurred car lights

I have been wanting to try to photograph the Austin central library at night for a while. Maybe try some long exposure with the vehicle lights blurred on the street or HDR. I haven’t really been down around the library much, so I would be going down there cold without any real plans for photographs.… Read More Austin Library at Night

Austin Light Trails

Austin Texas skyline at night with car light trails on IH35

There is a perch I have been thinking about using to take sunset photos or long exposure light trails over Austin. It was a relatively clear evening and I wasn’t expecting much of a sunset show, but I thought that it might be a good night to get headlight and taillight trails along Interstate 35… Read More Austin Light Trails

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

Night Sky Attempt

Night sky from Colorado Bend State Park Texas

I went out to Colorado Bend State Park Texas to attempt some night sky photos. There was no moon, the forecast called for clear skies, and Colorado Bend has some of the darkest night skies near me. So, I went out and waited until about midnight when the galactic core was to be up in… Read More Night Sky Attempt

Leander Train Station

These are some photos from last Spring that I kind of forgot about for a while, but I like them and wanted to put them on a blog here. As I would drive over the tracks up the rail from the metro train station on some evenings, I would see the red lights reflected down… Read More Leander Train Station

Long Exposure Car Lights

Long exposure clouds and highway lake travis

I had been wanting to find a decent place in Austin to take some long exposures of traffic in the evening. I haven’t done much of this before and I wanted to give it a try. I found a parking garage next to I-35 that was open and I drove right up to the top.… Read More Long Exposure Car Lights

Georgetown at Christmas

Georgetown Courthouse Christmas Lights

Georgetown Texas is the county seat where I live and the county courthouse is usually decorated well for Christmas. I went down Christmas evening when there wouldn’t be much traffic and took some photos. Below is a two image panorama of the back side of the courthouse. I was across the street and my 24mm… Read More Georgetown at Christmas

Thanksgiving Camping

Motion blur after sunset

It was Thanksgiving and I didn’t really have much time to go out and shoot photos, but I still wanted to write my weekly blog. I did go camping with family on some ranch land that my uncle runs down near Victoria Texas. Like with every ranch there is a stock tank pond and I… Read More Thanksgiving Camping

Super Trees

Singapore Super Trees in HDR

When I was in Singapore, I wanted to visit the Supertree Grove after sunset and try to get some HDR pictures of the trees all lit up. I hiked over to this area carrying my tripod. Along the way, I stopped at the flower dome and as it approached sunset, I walked around the Supertree… Read More Super Trees
