After a glorious sunrise, we traveled about the park seeing a few more overlooks and looking for more wildlife. I wasn’t happy with my photos from the first overlook and didn’t post any here. At another stop we made looking for wildlife, I became more interested in the way the road looked going off into… Read More Some Autumn Color in April
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
I started this day with a very cold and windy wait for sunrise at a waterfall on the Rio Paine with the mountains in the background. I had set up my tripod and then sort of just hopped around trying to be warm. At this roadside overlook, there is a gorgeous (and loud) waterfall with… Read More Waterfalls and Hiking, Torres del Paine Day 2
A new feature showed up in an update for Adobe Lightroom and I am kind of excited about it so I am writing about it. The feature is called Denoise, with a description that says “Reduce noise with AI.”.

These two places aren’t terribly far away from each other on the map, but traveling by road, you have to go far out of the way to… Read More The Road to Torres del Paine
Being at a time in my life in between raising young children and retirement age, I feel like I have the opportunity to do a few things that I have always wanted to do. Combining my love of landscape photography and my desire to travel certain places, I spent about a year planning a trip.… Read More I’ve Been on an Adventure
I flew off somewhere to try to find some things to shoot with my camera. I haven’t had a lot of time to be online or write about it all, but I am having a good adventure and loading up my data card with images. And I have my fancy new green backpack that I… Read More I Flew Off to Shoot Photos
In the spring, we get a lot of wildflowers and they are very pretty, but I have found it difficult to get compelling photos of them. I think what makes them so difficult to photograph well is that there can be so many of them that the photo can lack a focus point for the… Read More How to Shoot Wildflowers
Enchanted Rock is a good place for a hike if you are in central Texas. It is a state park built around a massive granite dome that people seem to enjoy climbing. Most weekend days, the park is at capacity and you can’t get in without a reservation. The park is kind of remote and… Read More Bluebonnets at Enchanted Rock
