Galveston Island State Park

This is an evening shot of the beach at Jamaica Island State Park in Galveston. Most of the day trippers had gone, leaving the seagulls to investigate any remnants. Texas, 2013

Sunset at San Luis

This is a view of the small jetty at San Luis Pass. The sunset was very subtle, but captivating nonetheless. Texas, 2013

Pelican Sunset

We had no intention to stop at San Luis Pass, but being able to drive onto the beach was such a novelty that we had to take some time here. And I'm glad we did - the sunset was magnificent and offered up such silhouetted opportunities like this. Texas, 2013.

Glorious San Luis

Possibly one of my favourite Texas images - hand held shooting with a 300mm lens; I just kept on shooting as I watched these pelicans fly into the sunset. This is the San Luis Pass, Texas Gulf Coast, 2013.

Evening on the Pier

A 6 second long exposure (at f/11) of Galveston Pleasure Pier, taken on a late autumn night in 2013.

Moonrise over Kemah

This was taken on Halloween, when I unwittingly was treated to a magnificent moonrise over the City of Seabrook and Kemah, Texas, 2012. Shame about those political banners - trying to soil a lovely evening view.

Rippled Beach

A glorious morning view of Galveston Island at sunrise. I love these kind of shots that allow me to capture the detail in the extreme foreground.

Galveston Sunrise

I stopped to take this one because i loved the way the sunrise reflected on the sand ripples - this is the Galveston Pleasure Pier, October 2013.

Glorious Morning

I was all set up to take long exposures and HDR images, but this one was taken with just one hand held shot. Loved the way the waves were crashing and thought it deserved the long exposure treatment. Galveston Island Pleasure Pier, Texas, 2013

Wild Sunrise

A personal favourite of mine - A distant tropical storm make for some nice waves at sunrise on Galveston Island, 2013. I did get my feet wet taking this one, but it was totally worth it.

Kemah Fairground

This is a heavily treated image of the fairground (or the 'shows' as we say in Scotland) at the Kemah Boardwalk, Texas, 2012. Took a while to get this shot, as I waited patiently for the ferris wheel to stop before the viking ship swung.

Kemah Tower

One of my favourites from a trip to the Kemah Boardwalk on Halloween night in, Galveston Bay, Texas, 2012. This is a more pronounced 'bubble wrap' treatment on the night sky, with colours and highlights cranked up.

Kemah Boardwalk

This is another treated image of the Kemah Boardwalk, on Galveston Bay in Texas, 2012. I applied bubble wrap texture to the star field and bumped up the saturation on the tower for this more unusual effect.

Texas City

A textured image of the Pierce Marsh wetlands adjacent to I-45 near Galveston Island, Texas, 2013.

Texas City

This is Pierce Marsh - a wetlands between Texas City and Galveston, 2013. Interstate 45 runs right alongside it, and i remained true to my word that one day i would take the exit and shoot some photos. Glad i did.

Piercing Sunset

I was expecting the sunrise to light up the underside of the clouds and waited in anticipation. Didn't get what I expected, but this was more than ok. Galveston Island Seawall at sunset, January, 2014, Texas.

Glorious Sunset

I loved the very long shadows in the Galveston Island Seawall sunset image - so typical for this time of year in Texas, January 2014.

Port Aransas

A chance photograph when out for dinner having spend the day on the beach at Corpus Christi - this is a glorious sunset on the marina at Port Aransas, Texas, 2014.

Galveston Seawall

Landry's is a familiar sight in any Gulf coast resort, so why not capture an image of their restaurant location along the seawall in Galveston. This is a long exposure on a fall night in 2015.

Pleasure Pier

A six second exposure, I believe taken with a 'big stopper' filter, of the Galveston Pleasure Pier on a summer's night in 2015.

Galveston Sunset

An eight second exposure from the primary shot in an HDR process - lots of different ways to shoot the Galveston Pleasure Pier in low light, and all lots of fun. 2015
