Inks Lake with only an iPhone

Fishing Pier on Inks Lake

I was going to start this by telling you a story about how I got off work on Friday, went home and grabbed my camera gear, and headed out excited to go shoot some photos. I drove out to Inks Lake State Park, which is about 45 minutes drive for me. I had a place… Read More Inks Lake with only an iPhone

Enchanted Hiking

Enchanted Rock reflected in Moss Lake

About 80 miles West of Austin is Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Enchanted Rock is a massive granite dome rising out of the landscape. It’s really hard to picture until you see it from the highway, it is huge, but lacks any nearby reference for scale. I have been hiking there before, but it is… Read More Enchanted Hiking

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

Staying at Indian Lodge

Jason Frels at Davis Mountains State Park Texas

When I went out to the star party at the McDonald Observatory, I wanted to try out staying at the Indian Lodge in Davis Mountains State Park nearby. This state park has a hotel that was originally built by the CCC during the great depression, I think. It had good reviews and it seemed like… Read More Staying at Indian Lodge

Dusk at the Lake

Sunset reflected in Inks Lake Texas

On Monday the completely overcast skies in the morning transitioned to partly cloudy by the late afternoon and I was eager to shoot something, so I headed to the lake to try to get some sunset reflections.

Inks Lake Sunset

Inks Lake State Park Texas sunset blue hour reflection

I have been wanting to go hiking at Inks Lake State Park in the late afternoon before sunset and scope out some places in a rocky area overlooking the lake for sunset pictures. It has been very cloudy lately, but Thursday afternoon’s forecast called for clearing skies so I headed out there after work. Inks… Read More Inks Lake Sunset

Hiking in Caprock Canyons State Park (Day 1)

Caprock Canyons State Park Texas Sunrise Quitaque

I decided to go camping for a few nights at Caprock Canyons State Park up in north Texas near a little town called Quitaque. From the weather forecast, I was expecting it to clear up and be cold. I was hoping for some night sky shots before dawn and hiking the canyons during the day.… Read More Hiking in Caprock Canyons State Park (Day 1)

Inks Lake

Inks Lake reflections

It was a miserable, cold, misty, cloudy day. But it was the last day of my time off for the Christmas break and I was tired of being in the house and not out shooting anything because of the weather. So, I went for a drive and ended up at Inks Lake State Park out… Read More Inks Lake

Sand and Light

Monahans Sandhills State Park morning sun flowers

I decided that as we got into fall and it got cooler, I would take some time off and go out to West Texas to camp and shoot photos. The first place I chose was Monahans Sandhills State Park. I have been thinking about going to this place for quite a while as I love… Read More Sand and Light
