What Not to do at the Great Sand Dunes

Great Sand Dunes National Park is a park that features massive sand dunes at the base of a mountain range in Colorado. It is kind of a remote park in Colorado and the closest town that offers much of anything is Alamosa, which is more than 30 miles away. There is a lodge at the… Read More What Not to do at the Great Sand Dunes

Shooting a Panorama of the Great Sand Dunes

My daughter and I have been on a road trip north from Texas to Montana. One of the stops on our way was the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. When the need for our road trip arose, I took the opportunity to cross this national park off of my list of parks as… Read More Shooting a Panorama of the Great Sand Dunes

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

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

Does an Hour Make Much Difference?

Does it really matter that much what time of day you take a landscape photo? I thought of this quite a bit while out hiking Friday afternoon. There was an old dried out tree branch that I have photographed before in the tall grass and there was a nice breeze as well, so I took… Read More Does an Hour Make Much Difference?

Waiting for Spring

It’s not spring yet in central Texas, but it is getting close. It’s early March and I am anticipating wildflower season. But the plants have not awakened yet. The Indian grass has gone from gold to brown and the only green to be found is on the Ashe Juniper. The dead colors and threatening sky… Read More Waiting for Spring

The River

The riverbed in winter isn’t the most photogenic landscape spot around, but I needed a place for my traditional Sunday afternoon hike. It is free to go to Tejas park and park the car, and there is all the hiking you could want, and there aren’t usually too many people there. On this Sunday most… Read More The River

Golden Hour / Blue Hour

Getting out and shooting mediocre photos is much more fun that staying home in my opinion. So with that thought in my head, I went hiking yesterday. Climbing the rocky trails with a full backpack of camera, lenses, tripod, water bottle, etc. is good exercise even if I don’t shoot a photo. It was a… Read More Golden Hour / Blue Hour

Clouds, the Moon, and a Snake

I returned to Balcones Canyonlands on Friday afternoon to go hiking, but mostly to get out of the house. It was a very cloudy day and I wanted to see what the long grasses up on top of the ridge looked like anyway. So, I hiked up the trail and found the long grasses fading… Read More Clouds, the Moon, and a Snake

2022 Calendar

I am making a 2022 Calendar to send out as Christmas presents. Nothing too fancy, just some of my favorite landscape photos that I have taken this year. I am focusing on Texas because that is pretty much the only place I have really been this year (and last year). I did a calendar last… Read More 2022 Calendar
