This picture happened because I was afraid there was going to be a nice sunset and I had no where to be to photograph it. I drove by this relatively new firehouse near my house and decided to try to frame it with the sunset. There was a flag pole that I was just unable… Read More Sunset at the Firehouse
Devine (not to be confused with Divine) Lake Park is a nice little city park in Leander with a lot of trees and a pond and it is very close by to me. In the summer you can see the sun set over the water from one shore and I try to remember to go… Read More Some Devine Lake Photos
Working from home is nice, in that it takes me a few seconds to get to work in the morning and there is no commute on a busy highway in Austin. But, I do get a bit stir crazy and need to get out. It has also been rainy on and off, so that has… Read More Photography from Home
On Monday morning, I grabbed my camera stuff and left for work early because I thought that I was going to go get a nice sunrise. While sitting bogged down in slow-motion traffic in Austin, I could see that there would be no real sunrise shoot so I headed on to work and got there… Read More Brushy Creek Sunset
Evening landscape photography is tough this time of year. The sun sets well before 6 PM and on a work day, that doesn’t really leave me any time to get anywhere for shooting photos. Thursday evening looked like a fine sunset opportunity, but I didn’t really have anything to put in front of it. I… Read More Nice Sunset, Meh Foreground
Sunday afternoon I was off to Inks Lake State Park. I didn’t know what I would find to photograph there, but I wanted to get out and shoot anyway. It was a warm mostly sunny afternoon with a few high clouds and I thought that there was a chance of a nice sunset as well.… Read More Reflections at the Lake
Austin is not known for its Autumn color display, but there are some colors and I set about trying to capture them on Friday evening. My plan was to shoot from the pedestrian walkway along IH-35 across Lady Bird Lake. I had seen this view while driving the kids to Six Flags in San Antonio… Read More Autumn Color in Austin
I went out hiking and shooting photos at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I am a bit disappointed with the results as I don’t think these photos really work all that well. But I am posting this anyway as this is all a learning experience for me. It was a bit breezy and sunny… Read More A Hike in the Tall Grass
Sunday afternoon I had to get out of the house. I didn’t think that there would be much to shoot around town judging by the mostly dry pond last week, so I just drove out to Inks Lake in the late afternoon. The sky was mostly clear and summer has not quite let go its… Read More Twilight Fishing Pier
I had some time in the evening to run over to a neighborhood park to try to shoot a sunset scene. My plan was to go to a particular spot with a park bench and a tree that would have the pond in the mid-ground, hopefully reflecting a beautiful sunset. There were some high clouds… Read More Sunset and a Dry Pond
