I didn’t take a lot of time to shoot photos while camping as I was mainly hanging out with family. But we were camping in a nice place and I managed to shoot a few pictures. The place that we were camping is on some family owned land North of Edna Texas. This land has… Read More Thanksgiving Camping Pictures
I have been wanting to try to photograph the Austin central library at night for a while. Maybe try some long exposure with the vehicle lights blurred on the street or HDR. I haven’t really been down around the library much, so I would be going down there cold without any real plans for photographs.… Read More Austin Library at Night
When I went out to the star party at the McDonald Observatory, I wanted to try out staying at the Indian Lodge in Davis Mountains State Park nearby. This state park has a hotel that was originally built by the CCC during the great depression, I think. It had good reviews and it seemed like… Read More Staying at Indian Lodge
Trying to be more social, I joined a Meetup group for a photoshoot and socializing event in Liberty Hill Texas. Liberty Hill is a small town not far from where I live. There is a little downtown area where we met and explored different things to shoot. With the above I was capturing an establishing… Read More Liberty Hill Meetup
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. Inks Lake is the closest State Park to my house and I go there quite a bit for hiking and photography. Many of the hiking areas were closed for some… Read More Sunset at Inks Lake
While on vacation, I had the chance to sit on the balcony and watch the sunset a few times. On one particular evening I could see the sun streaking across the water under a highway bridge and I thought it might make a nice picture. My first attempt had the sun sitting just on top… Read More Sunset Over Lake Hamilton

I have been having fun with ND filters and long exposures recently and I realized that I have not done this at Inks Lake, which is one of my favorite places to be. I have a Texas State Parks pass so I can go there any time I want without paying additional money. On one… Read More Long Exposures of Inks Lake, part 1
I have been wanting to go hiking at Inks Lake State Park in the late afternoon before sunset and scope out some places in a rocky area overlooking the lake for sunset pictures. It has been very cloudy lately, but Thursday afternoon’s forecast called for clearing skies so I headed out there after work. Inks… Read More Inks Lake Sunset
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
