Construction Barrel Dragon

I was driving south on Highway 35E and exited Garden Ridge in the north Flowermound area.  On the frontage road there is a bunch of construction going on.  This weekend I was driving down the frontage road for the first time in a long time.  I looked over right as I exited and I notice the construction crew has built a dragon out of construction barrels.  They did a really good job.  I had to come back a day later and take some photographs.  Below are the photographs of the Construction Barrel Dragon on 35E.

Beautiful sunset photographs

These are a couple of my favorite sunset photographs I have taken over the last few years.  The first one was taken in August from the dam on Lake Grapevine.  There was little to no editing done to the image.  This was the most impressive fiery orange sky I have ever seen.

The next sunset photograph was taken on Lake Fork in October.  Some editing was done in Adobe Lightroom.  The sunset was pretty impressive.

The last sunset photograph was taken over Lake Worth.  It is an HDR photograph and was heavily edited in Photomatix.  I love how the photograph turned out even though it is not very close to what the scene really looked like.

All of these photographs were taken on a Canon 5D Mark II.  A tripod was used for all three because of low light conditions and for the bracketing process for HDR in the third shot.

Orange and Black insects on Bluebonnets

These are some macro photographs or orange and black insects on bluebonnets.  I took these macro photographs with a Canon 5d Mark II and a Sigma 180mm lens.
