East Texas Photo: May 2012
http://easttexasphoto.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Let's make better pictures, OK? May 29, 2012. I was out for a newspaper assignment to get some shots of old guys using antique hardware to harvest wheat, and then decided that the timing was also perfect for some family photos in a wheat field. The lovely Renee was willing to play along and Joshua. well, he is 1, everything is an adventure for him. So the next day we trooped out at about 7:30 pm and found a safe-looking spot to park. Take a risk, go out with the snakes and bugs, and get some fun photos!

East Texas Photo: A plane apart
http://easttexasphoto.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-plane-apart.html
Let's make better pictures, OK? May 25, 2013. One of my first assignments with the Terrell Tribune was covering the annual Flights of Our Fathers fly-in at the Terrell Airport. It is an event put on by the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum. The museum preserves a very unique chapter in Terrell, Texas, U.S., WWII and British history. Any time I had contact with the museum folks, there seemed to be some talk about getting an AT-6 Texan trainer plane of the type used at the school during the war.

East Texas Photo: October 2013
http://easttexasphoto.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Let's make better pictures, OK? Oct 4, 2013. IPhone 5s video first impressions. All of this is basic hand-held footage, put together in iMovie. Simple and quick. The 120fps slow-mo footage from the camera does look nice. Footage from the football game you can really see the image break up at times due to the bright lights against black sky etc. Also, the autofocus is not up to dedicated camera standards. Coming next, a trip to the carnival with a two-year-old and the phone. fun times. Photo Blogs I Enjoy.

East Texas Photo: June 2012
http://easttexasphoto.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Let's make better pictures, OK? Jun 30, 2012. How to shoot better fireworks photos redux. It is that time of year again to repost about shooting fireworks. If you still haven't invested in a tripod or other camera-steadying device, fireworks shows make a great justification to go get one. Finally. for something like the photo above, intentionally focus your camera somewhere close to you. You should be in manual focus mode anyway if you have a DSLR, so play around with that and zoom in close. Jun 25, 2012.

East Texas Photo: Wednesday Photo Roundup - May 22
http://easttexasphoto.blogspot.com/2013/05/wednesday-photo-roundup-may-22.html
Let's make better pictures, OK? May 22, 2013. Wednesday Photo Roundup - May 22. Yes, it is about time for another amazing blog post. Or maybe just a set of links to things I've found interesting over the last few weeks. For the shot above, I imagined something more like this. But shooting outdoors with gusty wind (and no assistant) made it a bit impossible to use anything other than straight reflectors on the flashes. Decided 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," and tried to turn into 500px.com. How to bec...
