Just another interesting image from my last visit to the Brazos Bend State Park. Seems like someone is looking for a little snack. It was a great day to be a nature photographer. More to come!

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned photographing birds it’s to expect the unexpected. I was walking around the Brazos Bend State Park on Friday hoping to catch some birds in flight and practice my long-lens technique. I wasn’t having much luck when I heard the strangest cackling sound coming from behind me. I turned [...]

Adobe’s Lightroom 2 comes with some really high quality creative “presets” that are a great way to create a custom look for a series of images like the ones I displayed in my previous post entitled Life in 1830’s Texas. You can use these as is or as the starting point for your own custom [...]

I got an email from Mark Krajnak yesterday after he saw a comment I made on Joe McNally’s blog. Mark is the guy in suit & hat in the first image on Joe’s The Hot Shoes Diary post. Joe mentions Jimmy Stewart’s 1955 classic Rear Window and all I can think about is Grace Kelly [...]

If you’re anything like me, on an average weekend you’ll shoot somewhere around 300 – 400 images at several different locations. When you return home, you load these into Adobe’s Lightroom 2 and begin the long and difficult task of sorting through this mountain of images, deciding which to throw out, which to keep (just [...]

Update: Amazing how different things look 24 hours later. Pretty damn smart of Nikon to wait till Canon released the 50D so they could trump it with the D90. Movies from LiveView! Who would have thought?
So, does Canon have something else up their sleeve? A real D700 competitor? The “5D [...]

Just a few more images from my trip back in time to the 1830’s in Texas. If you’re ever in the Houston area, the George Ranch Historical Park is a great place to visit and it’s just about as authentic as it gets. No rides (other than on a wagon pulled by a tractor), no [...]

Here’s another shot taken during my little stroll around the George Ranch Historical Park, one of the oldest Texas homesteads settled in 1824 by Henry and Nancy Jones as part of Stephen F. Austin’s first colony.
As I was walking around the 1830’s homestead site, I met a man sitting on the “dog-trot” of his log [...]

I took a personal photo-walk yesterday afternoon at the George Ranch Historical Park in Richmond, TX. According to the folks that work there the ranch had its beginning more than 180 years ago when the first pioneers came to a bend in the Brazos River and settled as part of Stephen F. Austin’s first colony. [...]

Take a look at this post by Charlie Sorrel at Wired Magazine’s Blog! This is the first “common sense” post I’ve read in a long time about the hype of “megapixels” in today’s digital cameras. This one’s worth reading again and again!
