Here are the final set of images taken earlier this month for the Houston Mini Motoring Society during one of their autocross events. Obtaining sharp focus while panning is pretty straight-forward if you remember to use these settings on your Canon 40D or 50D DSLR.
Use Shutter Priority (Tv) mode at around 1/100th of a second.

As I first walked down the hill from where I had parked, I noticed the unusual color of the water in these pools at Pedernales Falls. I thought perhaps it was a trick of the sun reflecting off the stone and cedar which surrounds the falls on both sides. When I climbed down to the [...]

I love flowing water. Images of flowing water speak to me more than any other landscape photograph except perhaps for sunsets. There is something both dynamic and serene about water flowing gently down a stream or the surf crashing against the rocks. Water just speaks to me.
To get that smooth flowing look when photographing running [...]

I arrived at Colorado Bend State Park before dawn and hiked about 2 miles to Gorman Falls, following the trail staked out with orange markers. The sun was just rising over the hills to the east and I knew I had to hurry to catch that perfect light that comes only in the early morning [...]

My buddy Mark (K-Man) Krajnak was rocking at Joe McNally’s latest workshop in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Don’t take my work for it. Take a LOOK!

Not all of last week’s trip was hiking and hard work however. I did find a nice afternoon to relax at the Inks Lake State Park’s “Devil’s Waterhole” as it’s called. Quite a nice view before the kids jump from the rocks into the 20 feet deep water.

Nature and landscape photography are not for everyone. It takes perseverance to find a good location and a great deal of patience to wait until the light is just right. I find that on almost every outing I’ll waste 20% to 30% of my shots taken way too early in the evening before the light [...]
