Mule Ears of Big Bend

One of my thoughts going out to Big Bend was catching sunrise over the Mule Ears. I didn’t really have a great plan for a vantage point though. There is an overlook at the Mule Ears trailhead, but I figured that the sun would rise too far south in the sky from this point. While… Read More Mule Ears of Big Bend

A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

On my recent trip to Big Bend I was hoping to get to some trails that I hadn’t been on before. One of the trails on my list was hiking on the Oak Springs trail which connects to a couple of potential waterfalls. I had visions of a glorious waterfall image in the late afternoon,… Read More A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

Ghost Town

Terlingua Texas Ghost Town

If you want to get a decent breakfast when camping out in Big Bend, you can drive in to the town of Terlingua. There are a few restaurants in Terlingua, but not much open for breakfast. La Posada Milagro is open and has good TexMex breakfast food. The dining is all covered patio outside, which… Read More Ghost Town

The Balanced Rock

I have been planning another trip to Big Bend National Park as there are photographic ideas that I want to try and hiking trails that I haven’t been on yet. So last weekend my oldest daughter and I went and camped a couple of nights and I tried to get some of these things done.… Read More The Balanced Rock

A Clear Sky Evening

It was Saturday afternoon and I really needed to shoot some photos. The sky was as clear as it has ever been without a cloud in sight. I puttered around the house trying to think up something to shoot, but I eventually decided to just go hiking and shoot something even if it didn’t turn… Read More A Clear Sky Evening

Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement

Thursday evening there was finally a cloud or two in the sky and I thought I might get some nice photos so I went hiking at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I initially hiked up the Rimrock trail to some overlooks to see what the view looked like, but I didn’t find it very compelling… Read More Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement

Sky Replacement

Many photo editing tools now offer a feature for automated replacement of the sky in an image. I initially had very little interest in this tool but I eventually decided to experiment with it. I have, at times, played a few tricks with the sky in an image to make it more dramatic but seldom… Read More Sky Replacement

Cloud Blur

It was a cool breezy Sunday morning, which is unusual for August. I stepped out back at a little after 7 AM and noticed the mid-level clouds being driven by the wind across the sky and that made me think of doing some cloud-blur photos. The place I chose to make the photos was Balcones… Read More Cloud Blur

Waterfalls and ND Filters

On August 2 central Texas got a normal August’s rainfall in one afternoon. We are having a very mild and wet summer for which I am very grateful and I took the opportunity to head down to Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge to check out the creek which has many small waterfalls. I was counting… Read More Waterfalls and ND Filters

Stormy Day – Great Sunset

After hiking around Inks Lake State Park on a stormy day, I was about to head home when I decided to stop at a part of the lake shore that faces west and have a last look. The sun began dropping out of the sky just over the horizon, so I set up for some… Read More Stormy Day – Great Sunset
