My daughter and I have been on a road trip north from Texas to Montana. One of the stops on our way was the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. When the need for our road trip arose, I took the opportunity to cross this national park off of my list of parks as… Read More Shooting a Panorama of the Great Sand Dunes
On the way back from Santa Elena canyon, I took the scenic route which is called Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive. I knew that there were a few overlooks along this road that would be good for some pictures. In the image below, the yellow highlighted route shows the more scenic highway through the park that… Read More Big Bend – Desert Mountains
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
There was to be a break in the storm clouds one evening and this often means good conditions for a nice sunset. So, I headed to a parking garage that overlooks downtown Austin from the East side in hopes of getting something nice. There were a lot of layers of clouds moving around and I… Read More Trying to Get a Good Austin Sunset
At Hot Springs National Park there is a tower on top of one of the high hills that is not affiliated with the national park as I understand.

My daughter is into photography and so one Saturday we went down to Austin on a photo shoot. It’s always nice when your teenage daughter wants to do something with you. The first place we went was to a park that has peacocks. I have been here before, but I have never been able to… Read More Peacocks and Downtown
On a cold Sunday morning, I got up early and went to downtown Austin to try to get some predawn city skyline photos. It was a relatively clear morning and there was a parking garage that I wanted to try out. I like going to tall parking garages as I can just walk right in… Read More Austin at Dawn
After my short trip to Singapore, I got to spend a weekend in George Town in Penang Malaysia as I was there on a business trip. It was a hot and humid Sunday afternoon and I didn’t want to just hang around the hotel, I don’t enjoy shopping, so I grabbed my camera and went hiking.… Read More Penang Panorama
