Sunday Afternoon at Inks Lake

Close up of Waterfall at Inks Lake State Park Texas

I have been waiting for a decent day to go back out to Inks Lake and try shooting the little waterfall. There is a stream that travels over a lot of rocks getting down to the lake. When it hasn’t rained for a while, it can get down to a trickle, but we have had… Read More Sunday Afternoon at Inks Lake

Blue Sky Landscape Photography

Golden grass in late afternoon sun at Balcones Canyonland National Wildlife Refuge

It was Sunday afternoon and I was itching to get back out and shoot some photos. I knew that there wouldn’t be a remarkable sunset as the sky was perfectly clear. I did think that I might be able to do something interesting with the little stream and waterfall at Balcones Canyonland National Wildlife Refuge,… Read More Blue Sky Landscape Photography

Perhaps because the air is a bit different just before dawn compared to just after sunset – cooler, drier, less haze. Also,… Read More Up Before The Dawn

Gray January

Austin Texas skyline at blue hour

It has been tough to get very motivated to get out and shoot lately with the weather. Austin winters are cloudy, drizzly, and gray most of the time. The cool temperatures are nice, but trying to get out and shoot landscape photography is not always easy. I made myself get out with the camera last… Read More Gray January

Landscape with a Long Lens

Indian Grass Trail at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge in Central Texas

I mainly do landscape photography shooting with a wide lens. Sometimes it is useful to use a longer lens to pick out details and simplify the composition. I have recently been watching youtube videos from photographers about going out and shooting with just a long lens to force yourself to focus on different sorts of… Read More Landscape with a Long Lens

Hiking the South Rim at Big Bend

Sunset clouds over mountains at Big Bend National Park Texas

Hiking On my first full day in Big Bend National Park, I went for an aggressive hike taking me from the Chisos Mountain campground to the South Rim.
