From today at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. This was kind of a grab shot, an instant later and it was gone. I wish I had gotten a bit more depth of field.

From the carnival area at the Stock Show and Rodeo grounds in San Antonio Texas. This was the "Power" ride. And no, I didn’t ride it…

Nikon D300 w/ 18-200vr. I didn’t expect much from this lens in this situation, but it did a pretty darn good job.

I was going for a saturated, high contrast style with this shot. All post work done in Adobe Lightroom.

Nikon D300 w/ Tamron 28-75 2.8 and Kenko extension tube. SB-600 through unbrella high camera left. Cybersync trigger.

Taken on the Riverwalk area in downtown San Antonio, TX. The Christmas lights are dangling from the cypress branches drooping over the river.

From Lost Maples State Park, Texas.

From last year at Lost Maples State Natural Area, Texas.

Last year’s fall colors at Lost Maples State Natural Area.

Shouldn’t be too much longer for this year’s color change!

This is my first “complete” food product shot. I did everything myself – developed the recipe, prepared the dish, then photographed the result.

Oh, yeah, I ate it too!
