Morning ride
This morning I took out the Salsa and hit some of the trails near the outskirts of Lincoln. It was a beautiful morning and sometimes a little nature is what you need before going to work in the morning. Continue reading Morning ride

Starry Night
As winter comes to a close the season of star photography is beginning (at least for me). A couple nights ago some news stations stated that the large solar storm that hit earth would make it the chance to see the northern lights at more southern locations the highest it has been in awhile. I … Continue reading Starry Night
Snoqualmie Falls
After hiking Rattlesnake Ridge in the Puget Sound Corridor we made a stop at Snoqualmie Falls. It was a beautiful sight that you can just drive right up to, and offers one of the prettiest falls I have ever seen. This being my first time hiking in the Pacific Northwest I was awestruck at some … Continue reading Snoqualmie Falls
Seattle Photography Guide: Quick & Dirty
Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest in general, is considered as one of the most picturesque regions in the United States. The area is a photographers dream, with beautiful bays, mountains rising over the water, and sharp skylines. The process of discovering these places, street corners where the light hits the Seattle Space Needle just right, … Continue reading Seattle Photography Guide: Quick & Dirty
Cold Morning
This was one of the photos I was looking forward to putting up the most. It took a little hiking to the other side of the lake, kneeling on the frozen ground for awhile but the geese started moving as the sun came up. I hope you enjoy the photo as much as I enjoyed the experience of … Continue reading Cold Morning
Migration
This morning a friend and I went out to shoot some photos of some waterfowl at sunrise out at a lake near Valparaiso NE. These are a few from the collection I enjoyed. Some of the others will make it on to my 500px account here: https://500px.com/jamesaustin. Waking up at 5am is not always needed but … Continue reading Migration
Solitude in the Valley
A photo of the view as we came over a hill in the Elk Open space. This was the last hike we took before winter really set in, the snow even that day was thick and heavy in the air. This sort of weather ended the hike quickly, but made for great skiing. Continue reading Solitude in the Valley
Take Flight
Though I do not remember exactly where in UTAH I took this photo it brings back distinct memories of the landscape near Arches National Park. The bright reds oranges and yellows standing out sharply against the bright clear blue sky, it makes me want to go back. Since winter is coming on strong and temperatures … Continue reading Take Flight
Yosemite
Here is a photo snapped in Yosemite from last summer. We took this long drive starting in Nebraska heading south and hit a lot of the National Parks on this 4000+ mile trip over a couple weeks. We stopped at Arches, Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Sequoia and a couple more that are escaping me. … Continue reading Yosemite
Leading Lines
I recently browsed through my library, filled with pictures with some even dating back to my very first camera around 2006. I am not sure if I have gotten better, then worse, then better again. Recently I became unhappy with my technique and started trying out things I have never tried. I stopped with the … Continue reading Leading Lines
