Sunrise on the Charles Bridge in Prague...empty except for me and my camera!

A lovely way to start a day in Prague - shooting on the Charles Bridge before dawn!

The classic view of Rothenburg, Germany shot on my recent visit to this loveliest of little towns...

A beautiful sunrise along the Texas Coast...

An early wakeup one morning in France gave me the opportunity to photography Notre Dame without another soul around...and it was perfect!

A lovely pre-dawn shot of Notre Dame in Paris, that most beautiful of cities...

Lovely morning light over Torchy's Tacos on South Congress Avenue, in downtown Austin.

Notre Dame in Paris is always crowded, so my solution was to get up and shoot it at sunrise.  Turns out I had it all to myself!

Today I share a collection of photographs that I took in New Mexico.  I can't believe the light there - I always get such wonderful sunrises and sunsets.  Maybe it's due to some factor I am not aware of, but I don't care.  It helps me get better photos, so I love it!

The Pearly Brewery in San Antonio is quite a spot.  It's been redeveloped and now includes all sorts of shops, restaurants and even a farmer's market.  Oh yeah, and it's beautiful, especially when you get up early and capture it before dawn!

One fine morning in Dublin, I was out and about and happened upon a beautiful sunrise.  I share those photos today, and talk a little about split-toning and HDR as well.  Enjoy the pics and if you get a chance to visit Dublin, take it!  It's a beautiful city.

Barton Springs Road in Austin is a little gem, with a few interesting little spots to photograph.  Oh yeah, and right around the corner is our natural spring pool, too - another jewel in the crown, so to speak.  Check out these recent sunrise photos and enjoy!

Boston is a beautiful town, and is great to photograph during sunrise.  You can wander around all the best spots and have them to yourself, which makes them even more enjoyable in my book!  Here is a collection of shots from a recent trip to that fair city.

This is Avenue B Grocery, which is a really cool old grocery store tucked away on a quiet street in Austin.  It's like walking back into the 1950's or something.  Here are 5 pics I caught at sunrise one morning last Fall.

Austin has so much to shoot, and I am back on the trail of capturing it!  I am also out getting more familiar with my new Sony A7II and share some thoughts about it in today's post.  Read on and enjoy!

Today I share 5 HDR photos that I captured one fine morning in Copenhagen, Denmark.  It's a beauty of a town and at sunrise it's even more photogenic than normal!  Enjoy these shots of Nyhavn, the historic harbor front district in Copenhagen!

I love to shoot in Dublin, Ireland - it's a beautiful town.  But my favorite thing to do there is wander the streets at sunrise.  It's empty and more beautiful when you have it all to yourself.  And if you get a stunning sunrise?  Well that's just a bonus!

Today's post is all about Copenhagen, that lovely Danish city.  So much awesomeness there, especially around their historic harborfront area known as Nyhavn.  Take a peek and if you ever get to Copenhagen, be sure and spend some time shooting at Nyhavn - you'll be glad you did!

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I got up early one morning to head over to Nyhavn, their historic harbor front entertainment area.  It's quite beautiful, and I fired a lot of photos.  I made a concerted effort to shoot it differently than I have in previous trips, and I think I succeeded.  Take a look at these 12 photos and let me know what you think!

I absolutely love to get up and shoot the sunrise, and even if it isn't that great, I always feel good getting some creative time first thing in the morning.  But on a recent trip to New Mexico, I planned to sleep in, but I guess Mother Nature had a different idea, because I woke up in time to shoot an absolutely amazing and colorful sunrise.  Here are 12 photos that will give you a good sense of just how beautiful it was!
