The Old Camera

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently was given my father’s old film camera. It is a 35mm Nikomat that was purchased in 1968 as far as I can tell. I was excited to get this camera as I can remember my dad carrying this camera around at various times as far back… Read More The Old Camera

Nikon Z50 for Hiking

I enjoy hiking as well as photography. I usually carry my camera along on my hikes as I like to take photos of landscapes or other details that I see. But, my DSLR can get quite heavy after hiking for a while. So, I have had my eye on a smaller and lighter, but still… Read More Nikon Z50 for Hiking

Anyone who likes to shoot landscape photography is going to have their camera outside a lot, and that means the camera is susceptible to getting dirty. This can happen when you change lenses in less than ideal conditions and perhaps the wind blows dust into your camera.

Lee Filter Kit

Ducks at Devine Lake Park in Leander Texas

I have been wanting to get a better filter kit for my lenses – better than just the screw on round filters that I have been using. I want to be able to use the 100mm slide filters, as this offers an opportunity to use graduated filters and to stack filters. A YouTube landscape photographer… Read More Lee Filter Kit

September Review

I decided to look back at what I did in September that I am happy with. Perhaps if I do this for enough months I can get an idea about whether or not I am improving. I went back through the photos that I made in September and picked out the ones that I thought… Read More September Review

Shooting the Milky Way

Milky Way with me on park bench at Lost Maples State Natural Area Texas

As I mentioned in a previous post, I went to Lost Maples State Natural Area to go hiking and shooting astrophotography. It was a moonless night, it was supposed to be clear, and I wanted to find a nice dark place to take sky pictures. I decided on a hike-in primitive campsite up on a… Read More Shooting the Milky Way

Long Exposures of Inks Lake, part 2

Sunset over Inks Lake Texas with long exposure

Last week when I wrote this blog, I was mainly focusing on some compositions that I did around a group of boulders in the lake at Inks Lake State Park. I was happy with these photos and also had some images from another nearby place along the shore that I had tried. I didn’t feel… Read More Long Exposures of Inks Lake, part 2

I have been focusing on shooting Austin lately and have been running around downtown. I usually do this on an early morning when there aren’t so many people about and I can easily park my car. There is a pedestrian bridge across Lady Bird Lake from which you can see downtown and maybe a nice… Read More Three From a Pedestrian Bridge in Austin

Downtown Austin Panorama

I returned to Mt. Bonnell park in Austin for another attempt at a panorama as I haven’t been up there in a while. I was hosting a couple of visitors and I thought that they might like to see Austin from up there. The afternoon was mostly clear, if a bit humid, but I had… Read More Downtown Austin Panorama
