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

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

Enchanted Rock Reflected

Enchanted Rock is an outdoor attraction in central Texas with a state park built around it. Even though it is quite isolated out in the hill country, it is a very busy park and you should probably get reservations online a few days in advance if you want to go experience it as they limit… Read More Enchanted Rock Reflected

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

Long Exposure With No Filter

Usually, the easiest way to make a long exposure with daytime light is to attach an ND filter to the front of your lens. The ND filter blocks a specific amount of light and you have to increase the amount of time the shutter is open to get the same exposure as you would without… Read More Long Exposure With No Filter

The Enhanced Canyon Lake Dam

Canyon Lake Dam Long Exposure

One windy morning I went to a hiking trail near the Canyon Lake dam. The trail went down the hill to the river just beneath the dam. There were trees with gnarly roots sticking out of the water and a building and spillway in the distance. So I set about taking a few long exposures.… Read More The Enhanced Canyon Lake Dam

Sunset at Canyon Lake

After taking the foggy morning pictures at Canyon Lake, I decided to return for sunset. It wasn’t shaping up to be a fantastic sunset, but it was something to do. Finding shorelines around the lake that I could easily access was a bigger problem than I had foreseen. Many of the parks were closed, which… Read More Sunset at Canyon Lake

Spring Break at the Lake

Canyon Lake on a Foggy Morning

I have been at a lake this week for spring break. I didn’t go far, just down to Canyon Lake which is south of Austin. It is nice to get away a little. The lake is still quite cold but I got in anyway and endured the initial shock. I rented a little pontoon boat… Read More Spring Break at the Lake

Photography in the Rain

I made reservations to go hike with the kids at Colorado Bend State Park several days ago, but as luck would have it Wednesday turned out to be a cold rainy day. The kids did not have any interest in going out and hiking in the rain, but I really wanted to get out of… Read More Photography in the Rain
