Photography in the Rain

I made reservations to go hike with the kids at Colorado Bend State Park several days ago, but as luck would have it Wednesday turned out to be a cold rainy day. The kids did not have any interest in going out and hiking in the rain, but I really wanted to get out of… Read More Photography in the Rain

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Leander Texas. It is not much of a town but it’s where I live. The building behind the Christmas tree is where I pay my water bill. HDR merge taken at twilight.

A River Hike

Just another hiking expedition to the trails along the North Fork San Gabriel river in central Texas. We received some rain and I had hoped that the river would have a bit more water in it, but it was about the same. I enjoyed some hiking anyway and carried around the camera with only a… Read More A River Hike

Big Bend Framed

You may have seen this picture on one of my blog posts about my trip to Big Bend National Park in October. I was really pleased with how this image came out and I was offered a free 20×30 print from Precision Camera for taking place in this workshop, so this is the image that… Read More Big Bend Framed

The Snail Close-Up

When it rains, the snails really come out around here and I have been thinking about trying to shoot some close-ups of one. They are relatively easy to capture, even for me, and they sit really still when you take their photo. This is important because in order to take a close-up, I was planning… Read More The Snail Close-Up

Hiking for Details

After being inspired by a YouTube video, I decided to go hiking with a longer lens and focus on shooting details instead of wide vistas. By longer lens I am talking about a 70-200mm telephoto zoom rather than the 16-35mm lens that I would usually walk around with. I also wanted to go hiking with… Read More Hiking for Details

Cloudy Hike

I went out hiking at Balcones Canyonlands for lack of anything better to do. There was a low puffy cloud cover that I thought might photograph well with all of the texture, especially in the late afternoon and I needed a good hike anyway. So up the trail I went. There aren’t many flowers out… Read More Cloudy Hike

Stone Gazebo at Sunset

There is a stone gazebo at an overlook at Bastrop State Park and I hurried to try to get there at sunset one evening and arrived just as the sun was hitting the horizon. I noticed that I could get the sun to be right through the openings in the gazebo and tried shooting that.… Read More Stone Gazebo at Sunset

Sunset by the River

I went out to a park to hike and perhaps catch some photos of fall color reflected in the river. Unfortunately there is not a lot of fall color to catch around here and there is barely any water in the river to reflect any of it. But I did get a nice hike and… Read More Sunset by the River

Autumn Butterflies

These pictures are from a month ago. I kept them aside and intended to get to them, but I got busy with Big Bend plans. I took them while just hiking around the neighborhood park with my Nikon Z50, which I like to carry as it is a very light weight camera. There is a… Read More Autumn Butterflies
