Austin Skyline at Sunrise

Doug Sahm Hill Park Austin Texas at Sunrise

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

Morning Twilight Reflections

Downtown Austin Texas at predawn twilight reflected in Lady Bird Lake

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

Sunflowers

Close up of sunflowers in afternoon sun near road in Leander Texas

Not far from my house the sunflowers are in bloom. We had an afternoon with really nice light so I grabbed my camera bag and headed over to where all these sunflowers are growing along the road. The sunflowers are nice enough to face right into the late afternoon sun and catch all that golden… Read More Sunflowers

Nikon 18-35mm f/4 Lens

Colored lights at the Long Center in Austin Texas downtown at night

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

Three From a Pedestrian Bridge in Austin

railroad bridge in downtown Austin at sunrise

I have been focusing on shooting Austin lately and have been running around downtown. I usually do this on an early morning when there aren’t so many people about and I can easily park my car. There is a pedestrian bridge across Lady Bird Lake from which you can see downtown and maybe a nice… Read More Three From a Pedestrian Bridge in Austin

Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol

Focus stacked stars at the Texas capitol building in Austin

A week or so ago, I was down by the Texas State capitol and tried to take a picture with several layers of stars in the architecture at a particular place. I didn’t have a lot of time as I was with people and I didn’t think the picture would come out with all of… Read More Focus Stacking Stars at the Capitol

Hiking With My Girl

My teenage daughter often wants to hang around with me. How wonderful is that for a dad?!?!! Makes me feel like I have done something right for the last 17+ years. She is a fantastic girl, full of positivity and hope and I love her outlook on the world. I am a bit of a… Read More Hiking With My Girl

Downtown Austin Panorama

I returned to Mt. Bonnell park in Austin for another attempt at a panorama as I haven’t been up there in a while. I was hosting a couple of visitors and I thought that they might like to see Austin from up there. The afternoon was mostly clear, if a bit humid, but I had… Read More Downtown Austin Panorama

Night Sky Attempt

Night sky from Colorado Bend State Park Texas

I went out to Colorado Bend State Park Texas to attempt some night sky photos. There was no moon, the forecast called for clear skies, and Colorado Bend has some of the darkest night skies near me. So, I went out and waited until about midnight when the galactic core was to be up in… Read More Night Sky Attempt

Berries on a Fence Line

Close up of agarita in evening sunlight in central Texas

Lately I have been struggling to find time and inspiration for taking photographs. Most of my time lately has been spent supporting other people and there hasn’t been any time for me. I did get a false start on Sunday evening for a few hours as I drove to a couple of places and got… Read More Berries on a Fence Line
