There is a perch I have been thinking about using to take sunset photos or long exposure light trails over Austin. It was a relatively clear evening and I wasn’t expecting much of a sunset show, but I thought that it might be a good night to get headlight and taillight trails along Interstate 35… Read More Austin Light Trails
Maybe I am addicted to taking skyline pictures recently. It is not as easy as one would think to get these pictures to turn out the way you want them, so I keep going back and trying different things under different conditions. What I have been trying to catch are good clouds at sunrise, but… Read More Austin Skyline at Sunrise
There is a spot along the lake shore in Austin that I have come back to several early mornings, hoping to see those perfect conditions of light, sky, and reflections. From this place, I can mostly split the horizon with the reflections in the lake if the conditions are right. And it faces East, so… Read More Morning Twilight Reflections
There is a lens that I have been wanting, the NikonĀ AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR. It is a wide angle zoom that would be useful for landscape photography. My current lenses left a gap between 14mm and 24mm and I often find that I would like to shoot a bit wider that 24mm. Nikon… Read More Nikon 18-35mm f/4 Lens

I have had a very hectic personal life lately and don’t really have a Wednesday blog this week. I am working on something for Saturday, if I can make a little time. Until then, here is a picture that I took in frustration one cloudy morning in Austin at about sunrise and tried to make… Read More Blogless Wednesday
As you may know, there is a park in Austin with Peacocks. I have been to this park several times with the goal of getting a photo of the peacocks with their tail feathers on full display. My daughter wanted me to take her and her friends to Austin and one of the places we… Read More Another Peacock Attempt
After my short trip to Singapore,Ā I got to spend a weekend in George Town in Penang Malaysia as I was there on a business trip. It was a hot and humid Sunday afternoon and I didn’t want to just hang around the hotel, I don’t enjoy shopping, so I grabbed my camera and went hiking.… Read More Penang Panorama
It’s Sunday morning, the first almost cool Sunday morning of Fall, so I decided to head to downtown Austin with my camera gear just before sunrise and explore a bit. Sunday mornings are very peaceful downtown, and you can park where you want and have the run of the place. Mainly just joggers and a… Read More Sunday Morning Downtown
