Night Photography – Downtown Houston

In spite of the overcast skies, the weather was nice for a photographic adventure with Dana Crocker Barnett and Kathy Adams Clark in downtown Houston.  We started by trying to photograph the almost full moon next to the Houston skyline.

Big Bend National Park – August 2016

To intentionally swing burning steel wool around sounds a little like pyromania, but when it is for a good cause – Night Photography – it is perfectly okay. Well, that is if it is done with a lot of safety measures in place. The technique has been around for a while, so there are countless […]
