Mostly the photography of Jason Frels

Struggling to Find a Subject

It’s summer, the sky is mostly clear, it is really hot out, and I am struggling to find subjects to go photograph. I still go out hiking in the heat of the late afternoon even though it is hot and try to find something to shoot, but I struggle to find anything that I feel… Read More Struggling to Find a Subject

Stormy Badlands

I began the day with a plan to go to a place called Sheep Mountain in the more southern part of the park. I didn’t really know what to expect there but I had read good things. It involved driving out of the park, across the countryside, though a seemingly abandoned town, and then up… Read More Stormy Badlands

Badlands National Park

On Thursday I spend most of the day driving to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It was not a direct route at all so I got to see a lot of farm land, but I eventually made it to the park. Badlands is a very scenic park with a lot of convenient overlooks from… Read More Badlands National Park

Badland Sunrise

I found an overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park that faced almost directly toward the sunrise and I arranged to be there a little before 5:00AM the next day to see it. I have no problem waking myself up for stuff like this as I get kind of excited and usually wake up before my… Read More Badland Sunrise

Hiking the South Unit

I also spent a couple of days at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but I don’t feel like my pictures from the South Unit were nearly as good as those from the North Unit. I am not sure why but it may be because most of the hiking trails that I went… Read More Hiking the South Unit

Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 2

My second day at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit began with cold and clouds. I didn’t get any rain, which I was thankful for because of the muddy trail conditions. I looked out my tent and saw a lot of cloud cover, which I didn’t want, but I got up anyway and went… Read More Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 2

Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 1

I embarked on a week-long camping and hiking trip that would take me to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and then to Badlands National Park South Dakota. This was my big adventure trip of the year and I intended to enjoy a lot of nice hiking, solitude, and practice some landscape photography as… Read More Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 1

Woodland Photography

I was inspired to go try some woodland type photography after work one day last week. The sky was overcast so I thought it might be nice to shoot in among the trees with the diffuse light from above. Central Texas is not known for its woody forests, but there are some forested areas along… Read More Woodland Photography

How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Happy Easter! When it’s Easter there are usually a lot wildflowers to be found and I can’t resist taking a few close-ups of the flowers when I am out hiking. Yesterday I came across a rather large patch of bluebonnets on my hike and that gave me the opportunity to shoot close-ups and experiment with… Read More How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

The Stubborn Sunrise

I did more than just shoot the stars at Lost Maples. I also did a bit of hiking on some trails that I had not previously been on. One of the trails passes by a feature called “Monkey Rock”. I have a photo of it below and you can see if you can figure out… Read More The Stubborn Sunrise
