Sony A7rIII and the GoPro Hero 7 Black. Do I Really Need them Both? Yes…I do!
As photographer, I often struggle with whether or not to lug my big camera with its even bigger lenses with me everywhere I go. When I do leave the house without my camera, I often find myself wishing I had it with me. And many times, someone will walk up to me and...
Butterflies or a Trip to the Grocery Store?
I was pulling out of my driveway yesterday to head to the grocery store (one of my least favorite tasks), and as I was backing out, I noticed a really beautiful black and yellow butterfly enjoying my crazy, wild Lantana. My grocery list was long, but it had also been...
Soccer and Baseball Pictures with the Sony 70-200. Is This Lens Enough?
For several years now, I have been taking pictures of my kids at their soccer and baseball games with my Sony A7 RIII using my 70-200 lens. I would say that this is easily my favorite out of all my lenses! However, as my kids continue to grow, so does the size of the...
This Moose Got A Little Too Close for Comfort: A Colorado Adventure
Driving up the winding roads in Rocky Mountain National Park was so much fun. Mesmerizing, in fact. Often times, there would be a bit of a road block, usually because of some Elk sitting or grazing in a pasture off to the side of the road. It was always a great...
Elk Calving Area: Aggressive Elk May Be Present – A Colorado Adventure
On our first trip to Estes Park, Colorado, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was certainly hoping to see some wildlife to take photos of, but what I experienced was way beyond what I'd hoped for. On about day 3 of our adventure, I drove over to Lake Estes by...
Fireworks with the Sony A7 rIII…What a Fun Adventure!
I love watching fireworks! Even more than that, I love trying to capture photos of the fireworks. It's a lot harder than it looks, but each year, I learn something new, and seem to get a bit better at it. This year was quite different. I had mastered it with my...
Everyone Needs to See Baby Swallows Being Fed…
It had been one of those days! I knew I the only way to fix it was to pack my camera bag and get outside! So, I did just that. I packed my camera bag and headed out towards Wylie, Texas. I knew I'd see something fun out near Lake Lavon, but I wasn't sure what. As...
Opening Day Ceremony for My Favorite Texas Ranger and his Teammates
Opening day ceremonies for baseball! That's an exciting time in my household. Our favorite Texas Ranger in this house is my son, Zach, who plays for the Texas Rangers 11U baseball organization in Allen. Off-season is always long for us, because during baseball...
Bethany Lakes Park…A Little Piece of Paradise in Allen, Texas
There just wasn't much going on in my backyard, as far as birds to photograph, so I hopped in my car and headed over to Bethany Lakes Park. My camera had been calling to me all day long, so I knew I had to get out and capture some photos. It was sunny and 70 degrees...
