In our light level photography session, we focused on two statues at the Texas Capitol. This statue is on the south lawn of the Capitol, near the entrance to the building.

On the move
All three of these photos were taken with the camera on a tripod. The hazy effect in the last photo was not the intended result. However, looking on the bright side, my statue photograph has “movement.” Looks as if he is actually riding. Maybe. If you squint.
A group of photographers met at the Texas Capitol where we took photos at different light levels. Now that I’m taking more photographs with my new camera, one thing I notice is how hazy the sky is a lot of the time. In my mind, the sky is blue, blue, blue; in my photographs, only sometimes. These two photos were taken just minutes from each other, just before sunset. The sky is ever changing.

Somehow I managed to get a few dragonfly photos. I won’t show you the dozens of blurry, unrecognizable photos where you would just have to take my word for it that the subject is a dragonfly.
Hold still!
In addition to the dragonfly wings moving (and making it hard to get a focused photo), it was, of course, quite windy.
Where does this wind come from, anyway?
Taken near West Point, Texas.
Back before digital cameras were invented and we only used film, we would have to wait days to get our photos back, only to find that they looked like these, all perwhacky.
Big ears
The better to see you, my dear.

Longhorn treats. You feed her. I’m fine where I am, thank you.
And we’d throw them away, right?
Now that I have a digital camera, I take these types of photos on purpose! Go figure.
Photos are from our visit to Cripple Creek Critters in Paige, Texas.
