Downtown by Twilight

Long Exposure of Austin Skyline During Predawn Twilight

I was up shortly after 5:00AM on Saturday and decided to go downtown to shoot photos. The forecast called for partly cloudy skies, so I thought that I might get lucky on a sunrise. I also wanted to experiment with a few things from the Pfluger pedestrian bridge, which overlooks downtown from the lake side.… Read More Downtown by Twilight

Sunday at Dawn

Downtown Austin Texas in the predawn twilight

It was Sunday morning and it was to be a bit cool and partly cloudy and I really needed to get out and shoot a few photos. So, Saturday night I set my mental alarm clock for 5:45 AM and sure enough, my eyes popped open 5:42 AM according to my bedside clock. I don’t… Read More Sunday at Dawn

Up Before The Dawn

Long exposure of Austin Texas at dawn

Saturday night the forecast for the following morning looked good for some sunrise shots. As difficult as it is to get a good sunset, I find sunrises even more difficult for some reason. Perhaps because the air is a bit different just before dawn compared to just after sunset – cooler, drier, less haze. Also,… Read More Up Before The Dawn

Sunset Over Austin

Sunset over downtown Austin Texas

As mentioned in this post, I set up in a parking garage to photograph a sunset over downtown Austin. There were a lot of clouds in the sky and I had high hopes of a nice sunset show over the city. So, I patiently waited for the sun to sink. I took this photo as the… Read More Sunset Over Austin

Motion Blur IH-35

Interstate 35 running through downtown Austin Texas

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

Austin Skyline at Sunrise

Doug Sahm Hill Park Austin Texas at Sunrise

Maybe I am addicted to taking skyline pictures recently. It is not as easy as one would think to get these pictures to turn out the way you want them, so I keep going back and trying different things under different conditions. What I have been trying to catch are good clouds at sunrise, but… Read More Austin Skyline at Sunrise

Morning Twilight Reflections

Downtown Austin Texas at predawn twilight reflected in Lady Bird Lake

There is a spot along the lake shore in Austin that I have come back to several early mornings, hoping to see those perfect conditions of light, sky, and reflections. From this place, I can mostly split the horizon with the reflections in the lake if the conditions are right. And it faces East, so… Read More Morning Twilight Reflections

Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol

Focus stacked stars at the Texas capitol building in Austin

A week or so ago, I was down by the Texas State capitol and tried to take a picture with several layers of stars in the architecture at a particular place. I didn’t have a lot of time as I was with people and I didn’t think the picture would come out with all of… Read More Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol

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

Leander Train Station

These are some photos from last Spring that I kind of forgot about for a while, but I like them and wanted to put them on a blog here. As I would drive over the tracks up the rail from the metro train station on some evenings, I would see the red lights reflected down… Read More Leander Train Station
