Inks Lake

Alright!!! I know this post has been a long time coming. Anyway these pics are from our trip to Inks Lake up near Austin, Texas. It is a beautiful place. 

So this was our first night at the state park and the view from out camping spot. These first 3 photos are long exposures, 20 to 30 seconds. 

So the second day we woke up and did our morning devotions and then I tried to get a reflection photo of a camp site across the water from us. I wish the water was more calm but it is what it is. :)

Mom doing her devotions.

Then later that day we went over to the Devil's Waterhole and jumped of the cliff! It was a ton of fun!!!

This is the cliff that we jumped off of. 

Then we went to one of the fishing piers so I could take some pictures.

Day 3 consisted of staying around camp for awhile then we went into Austin to se the Capitol! 

This was just 2 guys walking up the stairs and the light was crazy cool with the old looking stair rail. I really like this one.

The view from the front steps of the capitol.

Then the next day we went back to the Devil's Waterhole and I did some hiking.

The our las day came and after we got all packed up and hit the road we stopped at a scenic spot near the top of a hill and I snapped even more pictures. :) 

Now for some fun random pictures of our trip.
I know the quality of this video is not the greatest but that happened through the upload process and I can't fix it.... :(((

Also check back soon because I have a new post coming. We went to the Houston Fire Fest at the Firefighter Academy in Houston and I got some really cool picture. I will be posting them sometime Thursday. :)

Day 1 of Our Oklahoma Adventure

Mr. Sam Houston!! I would have like to do a better job with placement and such, but I was lucky to even get this one. I was in the back of the RV and my dad yelled "There's good old Sam."So I ran up grabbed the camera fell into the seat and snap this picture before we passed him. 

The Oklahoma border. I think we had been on the road for around 6 or 7 hours by this time. 

A little bit of HDR

The Oklahoma City Capital Building. Notice the indian on the top? 

Ok. So since we were going to be in OKC we checked Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives (One of our favorite shows on food network). Well it just so happened that Guy had been at a German food restaurant. It was really cool and I love the lens flare I got in this picture.

So that concludes day one of our Oklahoma trip. There's another 2 days left so stay tuned. :)

The Sun

This was my first time to capture the sun like this and it's really cool. I have always like pictures of a crisp sun and always wanted to try it. So here it is. What do y'all think?

Finally some pics!

These were taken with the digital camera. I haven't gotten my film developed yet. :(

Amazing Clouds/Sunset

Now I know some of y'all are thinking that these pictures have been EXTREMELY edited, but exactly the opposite. I barely edited these.

In the first pic (this one was also taken first) I bumped up the contrast a little and made the blue a little more vibrant.

In the second pic (which happens to be my favorite) all I did was bump up the contrast.

These pictures were taken about 30/45 minute apart. The first one was taken from the roof of our house and the second form the window of my room (yes the window was open).
