Sunday afternoon was good for hiking, and the clouds gave the possibility of a nice sunset. I also wanted to shoot some photos with my old film camera that I recently got fixed up. I don’t have any photos from the film camera yet as I am still working on this roll of film. But… Read More Nice Afternoon for a Hike
I went back to my foot bridge and tried to make a nice sunset photo. There were a few high clouds to catch some pink-orange light from the sun. But the light didn’t last long. I tried to shoot at an angle that gives a view across the bridge down the path but still incorporated… Read More Sunset at a Foot Bridge
The evening after my sunrise photos, there was a nice sunset on the opposite side of the island over the West Bay. It is not nearly as easy to find access to the bay for shooting photos as there is a lot of private property on the bay side of the island. But my daughter… Read More Bay Sunset
Sunrises and sunsets on the coast can be fantastic because of the steady supply of clouds and the high humidity levels in the air. Tuesday morning I got lucky to catch a nice sunrise on the beach on the west end of Galveston Island Texas. The morning before, there were no clouds at all so… Read More Beach Sunrise

Devine (not to be confused with Divine) Lake Park is a nice little city park in Leander with a lot of trees and a pond and it is very close by to me. In the summer you can see the sun set over the water from one shore and I try to remember to go… Read More Some Devine Lake Photos

Working from home is nice, in that it takes me a few seconds to get to work in the morning and there is no commute on a busy highway in Austin. But, I do get a bit stir crazy and need to get out. It has also been rainy on and off, so that has… Read More Photography from Home
Evening landscape photography is tough this time of year. The sun sets well before 6 PM and on a work day, that doesn’t really leave me any time to get anywhere for shooting photos. Thursday evening looked like a fine sunset opportunity, but I didn’t really have anything to put in front of it. I… Read More Nice Sunset, Meh Foreground
I went out hiking and shooting photos at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I am a bit disappointed with the results as I don’t think these photos really work all that well. But I am posting this anyway as this is all a learning experience for me. It was a bit breezy and sunny… Read More A Hike in the Tall Grass
