Georgetown Texas is the county seat where I live and the county courthouse is usually decorated well for Christmas. I went down Christmas evening when there wouldn’t be much traffic and took some photos. Below is a two image panorama of the back side of the courthouse. I was across the street and my 24mm… Read More Georgetown at Christmas
My daughter is into photography and so one Saturday we went down to Austin on a photo shoot. It’s always nice when your teenage daughter wants to do something with you. The first place we went was to a park that has peacocks. I have been here before, but I have never been able to… Read More Peacocks and Downtown
The last few days have been gloomy, foggy, rainy, and misty around here. I have a few vacation days to take and the weather has really soured my plans to go shoot something. I have always considered a dark, overcast day to be lousy for photography, but I started to consider that perhaps I could… Read More Gloomy, Gray Day
On a cold Sunday morning, I got up early and went to downtown Austin to try to get some predawn city skyline photos. It was a relatively clear morning and there was a parking garage that I wanted to try out. I like going to tall parking garages as I can just walk right in… Read More Austin at Dawn
Out in West Texas, there is Guadalupe Mountains National Park. After my visit to Monahans Sandhills, I went out to Guadalupe Mountains to hike, shoot photographs, and camp. This area of Texas is mostly desert and very hot in the summer, which is why I visited in late November. I pulled off the highway near… Read More Guadalupe Mountains National Park
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
It was Thanksgiving and I didn’t really have much time to go out and shoot photos, but I still wanted to write my weekly blog. I did go camping with family on some ranch land that my uncle runs down near Victoria Texas. Like with every ranch there is a stock tank pond and I… Read More Thanksgiving Camping
In Central Texas, we don’t really get much of a fall foliage season. Half the trees, like Live Oak and Juniper, don’t even lose their leaves in the Fall. But, I did manage to see a little bit of fall color near where I work in Austin. So, the next day I planned to bring… Read More In Search of Fall Color in Austin
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
I went out in the evening thinking that I would shoot some fireflies. There is a park nearby where they hang out around dusk. The mosquitos hang out there as well, but that’s outdoor photography. So, I had my camera and tripod set up attempting to aim in the general direction of the fireflies, and… Read More Shooting Fireflies
