Moon Tips…
I don’t get asked alot of questions but I found the answer to a common question by Googling it. The question was “How do you photograph the moon?”. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art The thing to remember is that the moon is reflecting the sun’s light and is bright. Most cameras on auto have a habit of exposing just for the light (over exposing) giving you a white, featureless, disk.

Old Buildings…
I love old buildings and small towns. It makes me wonder what it must have been like way back in the day when the town was growing up. Downtown Lockhart, Texas is a good example. There are alot of wonderful places to explore in that town. I think a great thing to do is to stop in a small town and go exploring. You never know what you will find around the corner. The alley ways are interesting. Faded signs and relics of a day gone by. …

Photo -a- Day…
You know sometimes it’s hard to do a photo a day come to think of it. But I will get better as time goes along. I almost always have my camera with me but I’ve found that when I “TRY” to take a good photograph that it sometimes just doesn’t happen. Image Copyright © 2009 Barrett Photo Art I did notice this little chapel while picking up my daughter and slowed enough to take a couple of photographs. At first I thought it was an ‘old’ chapel…

Hard Drives…
Did ya notice that once a hard drive goes bad there is not much you can do with it. Well… I decided to imortalize this one as it was such a good servant. (Backed up of course). Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art. Well it appears that the little fella (SATA Laptop 250 gig hard drive) decided he would rather take it easy. Lay around. Copy half the data…lose the rest. More or less take a vacation. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art. I guess…

Drought Continues…
Well the drought continues with water restrictions in place. The good news being that the water usage has dropped 23%.I thought I’d try and take a photograph a day and update the blog just to see what I could do. Enjoy! Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Peace, Love, and Earth Tones,

The Other Side…
I like tunnels. Or at least the perception of tunnels. The pattern that is created by looking THROUGH things…like the triangles at the park. I don’t know what the appeal is. Maybe it’s the other side. Or setting goals. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art I just enjoy the pattern created by some things. I mean looking under this bridge makes me want to skip a rock or just sit and watch the water reflect off the bottom. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art And…

Texas Drought…
Well they’ve announced that here in Georgetown Texas we are now under water restrictions. I was wondering when they were going to do that because I’ve enjoyed taking pictures in San Gabriel Park. Image Copyright © 2009 Barrett Photo Art The above photo was taken just this last June 2009. And here is near the same location today Image Copyright © 2009 Barrett Photo Art I’ve Seen Geese hiking the river bed in search of a “swimming hole”.

Within 10 Meters…
I truly love digital photography and one of my secrets is that I frequent the website of the Digital Photography School. Today I noticed a link (that they call challenges) entitled “within 10 meters” – meaning that there is a photograph within 10 meters of you right this moment that is ready to be taken. Well, here is the photo I took. It won’t win any prizes but there is something about it I like but I haven’t figured it out yet. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo…

Grasshopper Ham…
Watering the plants the other day I happened to get this grasshopper wet. Well, I thought he was an interesting color so I went inside and grabbed my camera and thought I’d take a couple of photographs of him. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art After looking closer at the photographs I swear the little bugger was smiling for the camera. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art The look on the grasshopper’s face seemed to say; “Kiss Me! The Frog Was Lyin’!” Image Copyright © Barrett Photo…

Read The Sign…
The drought is still on and it’s still hot in Texas. Swimmers enjoy Barton Springs in the heat of the day. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art I love Texas. Peace, Love, and Stay Cool and Safe,
