These photos were taken at Stillhouse Hollow Lake in Harker Heights, Texas
These photos were taken out at the Colorado Bend State Park: south of Bend Texas – about 1.5 hours west of Killeen, TX.
A three quarter moon phase shot with a Canon EOS R5, 1.4 Extender on a Canon RF 100-500mm. F14, 1/40, ISO 125 on 5/19/2024 @ 0130-hours.
Only a subtle difference between the two. The above was shot with a Canon R5 with a Canon RF 100-500 mm with a 1.4 extender. The settings for this were F16, 1/30, ISO 100 on 5/19/2024 @ 0135-hours.
This was a first attempting at capturing lightening. This was one of those last minute opportunities when going outside and encountering a storm moving into the area. A fast dash to the camera room, grabbing what was at hand and getting set up. The problem is, when one sees lightening, it is already too late to snap a picture – what settings should one use: ISO, Time, and F stop? This was a rather fast moving storm, so once I input the settings, every 3 count I would push the button. I did not use a 2 or 10 second timer, so there is camera shake. This is one of the bucket list photos I always wanted to capture. While this is not the best, it was a great learning opportunity for next time. Canon EOS R6Mark II, Canon RF 15-35 F2.8. Set at 35mm, F2.8, 1-second time, and ISO 50. 5/15/2024 @ 2319-hours
Solar Eclipse occurred on Monday, 8 April 2024 at about 1:36 PM and lasting for 4-minutes – Killeen, Texas.
