On Monday the completely overcast skies in the morning transitioned to partly cloudy by the late afternoon and I was eager to shoot something, so I headed to the lake to try to get some sunset reflections.

The last time I was at Brushy Creek park, I wanted to do some long exposures but I didn’t have my ND filter with me. So, I just didn’t get the picture and thought that was that. A few weeks ago, I was watching a YouTube vlog by a photographer I like named Evan Ranft… Read More Image Stacking vs. Long Exposure

I set up on top of a parking structure across Interstate Highway 35 from downtown Austin for some sunset pictures. While I was waiting, I decided to do an experiment to see if I could clear IH-35 of traffic. IH-35 is one of the major highways that goes North-South through the middle of the United… Read More Motion Blur IH-35
I had been thinking of the moon on the horizon reflected across Inks Lake but most of the vantage points that are accessible in the park point West which would eliminate the possibility of a full moon rising over the lake in the evening. The property on the west side of the lake is all… Read More Moonset
I wandered around Inks Lake State Park after work on Friday trying to see if I could find a good viewpoint for some sunset photos.
