While some parts are having record heat waves, we seem to be off to a very rainy summer here. Mind you, I’m not complaining about the rain as my yard looks like a country club golf course right now. It was a stormy Monday afternoon and I went to Inks Lake. I was kind of… Read More Storm Clouds and the Lake
Sunday afternoon I was off to Inks Lake State Park. I didn’t know what I would find to photograph there, but I wanted to get out and shoot anyway. It was a warm mostly sunny afternoon with a few high clouds and I thought that there was a chance of a nice sunset as well.… Read More Reflections at the Lake
Sunday afternoon I had to get out of the house. I didn’t think that there would be much to shoot around town judging by the mostly dry pond last week, so I just drove out to Inks Lake in the late afternoon. The sky was mostly clear and summer has not quite let go its… Read More Twilight Fishing Pier
I was going to start this by telling you a story about how I got off work on Friday, went home and grabbed my camera gear, and headed out excited to go shoot some photos. I drove out to Inks Lake State Park, which is about 45 minutes drive for me. I had a place… Read More Inks Lake with only an iPhone

I had been thinking of the moon on the horizon reflected across Inks Lake but most of the vantage points that are accessible in the park point West which would eliminate the possibility of a full moon rising over the lake in the evening. The property on the west side of the lake is all… Read More Moonset
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
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 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
