RECENT WORK - Part II of Texas Trip
We spent several days shooting in Austin back in early October.  Construction downtown was minimal and we were able to update some skyline shots.  We especially love early mornings and used a hand-held flash to "light paint" the Stevie statue.  It's a good look with enough light to add some detail.

We did a bit of work at the Capitol, inside and out, and really enjoyed watching the red-gold sunlight brighten the dome.  The Extension in the back is also a good place to get warm tones in the underground atrium.  The morning light through the windows inside the dome created some wonderful blues and bright light spots.  As always, the interior detail is one of our favorite things to shoot, which is evident in the banister shot below.

We usually shoot the Capitol from the front or back, but this side angle with the streaky clouds was a nice look. 

From there we went to South Congress to get a downtown shot.  This Yellow Cab headed straight for John in the left-turn lane, but no photographer was injured in the filming of this gallery.  Finally, we had put up a shot of downtown from Lou Neff Point, so we thought we would include a shot OF Lou Neff Point.  The gazebo sculpture was donated several years ago and just blends right into the environment.  If you are taking advantage of the trail and running or walking, this is a great place to stop for a drink of water and watch the people on Lady Bird Lake (the lake formerly known as TownLake).
