These were taken last year during a camping trip to Garner State Park in Uvalde County TX.

Old Baldy, the view from up there is pretty good, especially during fall when I went there.

Pedal Boats — Frio River pedal boats. I believe they rent these out during the spring/summer season.

Night Sky — I really messed up this picture, and I wasn’t able to remove the purple rings. I still have no idea what caused them in the first place.

Austin Bergstrom Intl Airport Plane Spotting

Earlier this month I went to the airport to pickup a family member and do a bit of plane spotting. This time I went to the Blue parking garage, the view there was pretty good but the distance between where I was and runway 18R was still a bit much for my 70-200.

Will have to give this place a shot again once I get a longer lens (I’m looking at you Tamron 150-500).

Thanks for making it down this far, I need to get back into photography and posting here but this past year I just haven’t been feeling that motivated to do so, lots of things happening which did not help.

Saw this little fella while leaving work one day, after taking it’s picture I grabbed a cup and relocated it (high traffic area).

Taken with a Sony A7RIII paired with a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens.

Nighttime Downtown Austin

I decided to make a quick trip to Zilker Park one afternoon (one of the few time I head towards that area). Stayed there for a couple of hours snapping pictures of downtown during sunset and after dark. This was the shot I liked the most.

The young and the withered.

Saw this small patch of flowers while going to a Starbucks one afternoon. It caught my attention how the roses go from healthy to complexly withered, kinda like a reminder that everyone will die at some point.

Austin Sky Panorama.

Took this after work, there was some nice cloud formation with the sunset. This was taken with my A7R and the panorama was processed with ON1.

This would’ve looked better if I was higher than the trees, I wasn’t able to relocate to a better location on time.

Subaru Sambar Kei Truck

Quite surprised to see one of these Kei truck’s in person this morning. I can’t recall what model year this particular Sambar is.

After seeing this one, I did some digging and found out that there is a van version of it as well which I would love to get my hands on one in my lifetime hahaha.
