The Bumblebee Bounce It was a long day at the rodeo and I was about to leave. I never actually saw the rodeo, but opted for the vendor area, livestock show and carnival. I figured there was enough to shoot there and I was right. I was leaving and turned for one last look and saw the ferris wheel through this "bee" ride and thought I might try some motion effects. This one had just enough blur to see what it was, while still looking like it's moving.
Austin Night Lights Walking around any downtown area at night is an entirely different experience than during the day. Lights become your focal point and draws your eye to see things that go unnoticed during the day. This is a little slice of downtown Austin, just as the trees begin to bud for springtime. After daytime sessions at SXSW, it was fun to stretch our legs and find a few things to photograph.
Capitol Street Lanterns There is something nostalgic about a street lantern. Sure it provides light at night, but it also adds character and charm to whatever area it adorns. On our last evening in Austin, I found these beautiful lanters at the Texas State Capitol. Sometimes I have to remind myself to look at the details and not only the larger, more obvious subjects. These lanterns jumped out at me after I got over the grandeur of the Capitol Building itself. Their large size and detail add to the beauty of each doorway of the majestic building.
