Mostly the photography of Jason Frels

Struggling to Find a Subject

It’s summer, the sky is mostly clear, it is really hot out, and I am struggling to find subjects to go photograph. I still go out hiking in the heat of the late afternoon even though it is hot and try to find something to shoot, but I struggle to find anything that I feel… Read More Struggling to Find a Subject

How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Happy Easter! When it’s Easter there are usually a lot wildflowers to be found and I can’t resist taking a few close-ups of the flowers when I am out hiking. Yesterday I came across a rather large patch of bluebonnets on my hike and that gave me the opportunity to shoot close-ups and experiment with… Read More How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Spring Closeup

Today I have some bluebonnet close-ups that I took in the park near my house. Bluebonnets mean spring and I haven’t seen the huge fields of them yet but there are many around my neighborhood park. First I went out in the morning to get the bluebonnets on the opposite side of the park from… Read More Spring Closeup

Clouds and Wildflowers

It has rained every day for about a week straight. That is May, and in a couple of months I’ll be pining for the rain. But it does make things muddy and interferes with my hiking and photography plans. Sunday I could no longer take it and I drove down to Tejas Park in the… Read More Clouds and Wildflowers

It’s All About the Wildflowers

Indian Paintbrush

It’s a late Thursday afternoon in April. With the limits on gathering and socializing mostly lifted, the wildlife refuge is once again mostly abandoned even though the wildflowers are screaming for attention. Hearing their call from across the county, I headed out with my camera. The first two photos below are all about the Indian… Read More It’s All About the Wildflowers

Bluebonnets of Big Bend

In the autumn Texans look with envy upon the New England and Rocky Mountain states with their beautiful fall foliage, but in spring we get even with wildflower season. Wildflower season is in full swing in Texas right now and I took a few photos of bluebonnets while my daughter and I were out in… Read More Bluebonnets of Big Bend

Sunflower Portraits

There is an enormous field of sunflowers in a park near the house that has been in full bloom. It took a lot of work, but I finally coerced my girls into letting me take them there and get some photos of them with the sunflowers in the background. I shot a lot of the… Read More Sunflower Portraits

Some Hiking Photos

September is here and it is bearable outside in the day now. I go out hiking and often bring my camera to see what I can get. None of these photos are stunning, but nice enough to hit the shutter button I think. All of these photos were shot with a Nikon Z50, which is… Read More Some Hiking Photos

Some Fauna and Flora

White Wildflower Close Up

I go out for walks in the early morning and sometimes bring my camera in case I find something to photograph. The animals are often more active at dawn and I can get some good shots. On Saturday morning I found a big white egret at the pond that wasn’t too afraid to let me… Read More Some Fauna and Flora

Morning on the Beach

Long Exposure of a Beach Sunrise

I woke up early the next couple of days trying to find another magical beach sunrise, but the clouds were really not cooperating. Wednesday morning the sky was clear and Thursday morning there were some thick clouds on the horizon. My plan on this morning was long exposures to smooth the waves with a sunrise… Read More Morning on the Beach
