Should You Modify Your Environment For A Photo?

One question that I hear debated among the photography community, and that I debate with myself sometimes, is whether or not it is OK to modify a natural environment for a photographic composition. This could mean cleaning up a few leaves, removing some weeds or twigs that are in the way, or even removing branches… Read More Should You Modify Your Environment For A Photo?

Dry Summer at the Wildlife Refuge

Late Saturday afternoon it was time for another hot mid-August hike. I headed out for the Balcones Canyonland Wildlife Refuge with my full camera backpack hoping that something would inspire me to shoot it. It has been one of the hottest summers on record and we have had very little rain this year, so the… Read More Dry Summer at the Wildlife Refuge

Camping and Kayaking on Padre Island

I have long wanted to go kayaking around one of the bays between the barrier islands and the Texas mainland. I have thought about planning a trip down to the coast for this multiple times and last weekend I just did it. I went to Padre Island National Seashore which is just south of Corpus… Read More Camping and Kayaking on Padre Island

Some Wildlife at Inks Lake

Sunday afternoon was hot, as has been every afternoon for the past month or so but I really wanted to hike, heat or not. So, I went to Inks Lake to hike and hoped that eventually there would be a nice sunset. I started on a trail that offered some shade and eventually came upon… Read More Some Wildlife at Inks Lake

Some Galveston Wildlife

I wandered around and tried to take some wildlife photos when in Galveston one evening. I thought the sunset might be nice, so I headed down to the bay side of the island to see what was there. In the muddy flats along the bay were a bunch of Roseate Spoonbills, so I crept over… Read More Some Galveston Wildlife

Sunrises at the Beach

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

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

Camping to See the Milky Way

Several months ago I was hiking at Colorado Bend State Park (in Texas, not Colorado) and went up the Windmill Trail. I took a few phone photos at the time and thought about how this would look on a clear night in the summer with the Milky Way in the sky. It is summer now… Read More Camping to See the Milky Way

Stormy Badlands

I began the day with a plan to go to a place called Sheep Mountain in the more southern part of the park. I didn’t really know what to expect there but I had read good things. It involved driving out of the park, across the countryside, though a seemingly abandoned town, and then up… Read More Stormy Badlands

Badlands National Park

On Thursday I spend most of the day driving to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It was not a direct route at all so I got to see a lot of farm land, but I eventually made it to the park. Badlands is a very scenic park with a lot of convenient overlooks from… Read More Badlands National Park
