I predicted reasonably good chance of a beautiful sunrise for Sunday morning and I had nothing better to do so I planned on being at a specific overlook out at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge for the pre-sunrise color show. I have been to this overlook many times before and tried to capture nice… Read More September Sunrise
Fog can be a very fun and useful tool for photography. It can help simplify an image by obscuring the background, which helps your subject stand out. It can remove color from a scene, enabling you to focus on the shapes. It can add mystery to your image inviting the viewer to imagine what is… Read More Fog on the Bay
This time of year the sun rises quite late, for me anyway, and this made it easy to get out to the wildlife refuge and hike up to an overlook before the sun crested the eastern horizon. There were sadly no clouds, so there was no predawn color-show to be there for, but I knew… Read More Dawn’s Early Light
It was Saturday morning and I was awake around 5:00AM; I hate to sleep late and waste the day. Anyway, I knew the sun would rise at about 6:30AM and it was a little cloudy so I grabbed my backpack and a mug of coffee and headed for the wildlife refuge to see if I… Read More Sunrise Over a Creek and Wildflowers
The third and final sunrise of my stay at Torres del Paine was the best of them all. It was another cold and windy morning again, but I didn’t mind that a bit once we got to the site. Our sunrise site for this morning was a rocky overlook across Lago Pehoe from the mountains.… Read More The Third Sunrise
The problem with sunrises at Big Bend is that there are rarely clouds in the sky so all of my sunrise photos have been clear sky with hopes of some color on the horizon provided by the constant dust layer in the atmosphere. And even with the lack of clouds, I thought that I could… Read More Mules Ears
As I mentioned in my previous post, on my last morning at Shenandoah I got up and checked out of the lodge early so that I could be somewhere for sunrise with time to take photos before I had to drive to the airport. My flight was at 1:30PM so I had plenty of time… Read More Sunrise Above the Clouds
I went to vacation in Galveston for a week. My intent was not to take a lot of photos, but to mainly spend time with the family. I did manage to sneak down to the beach at sunrise a few days while everyone else was in bed. Every morning that I went down there were… Read More Sunrises at the Beach
I found an overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park that faced almost directly toward the sunrise and I arranged to be there a little before 5:00AM the next day to see it. I have no problem waking myself up for stuff like this as I get kind of excited and usually wake up before my… Read More Badland Sunrise
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
