Texas desert life: More photos

So, I am still trying a variety of techniques and trying to resharpen old skills. I picked up a very short, very fast lens. The majority of these photos are the results of a couple of hours efforts with this lens. These photos are software unprocessed except as noted. I am trying to learn new to me lenses and camera. The long exposure techniques are very similar to my old familiar film format, just somewhat different because of the digital sensor needing noise reduction during long exposure shots.

I find Alpine to have no shortage of subjects and should be both fun and rewarding as my skills broaden. I have waited on weeks of rain to subside to get back out and do photography. It looks like we may be going back to normal.
