Another Car Show

The Lyons Club of Tomball held their 32nd Annual Car Show.  On tis beautiful Sunday afternoon my wife and I went to view the show.  Here is a little result.  I used my Sony A7R5 and my Sony FE 24-240 lens.

Truss Bridges Road Trip

A road trip with Northwest Houston Photo Club to shoot two truss bridges.   The first bridge was the Sugarloaf Bridge in Milam County,  this is an unused bridge about 11/2 hours from Cypress.  

A few shots of the bridge.  All were taken with my Sony A7R5.  I did change lens and will identify which lens on each image.

Sony FE 24-240mm @120 mm 1/125 sec @ f/18

SonyFE 24-240 mm @24mm 1/250 sec @ f/5.6

Viltrox 14 mm 1/250 sec @ f/7.1

Viltrox 14 mm 1/200 sec @ f/8

Viltrox 14 mm 1/200 sec @f/8

Viltrox 14 mm 1/200 sec @ f/5.6

From this bridge we drove 1 1/2 hours to the Piano Bridge outside Schulenburg Texas.  At one time this "played" some notes as you drove across the bridge.  But with time and some additional supports added it plays one note, or is a squeak when you drive across.

Several of the shots I used my Lensbaby Trio 28. This lens is a manual 28 mm lens with three different effects  (Velvet, Twist and Sweet effects), manual focus, fixed f3.5. 

Twist 1/800 sec

Sweet Effect 1/800 sec

Viltrox 14 mm 1/80 sec f/11

Viltrox 14 mm 1/80 sec @ f/11

Viltrox 14 mm 1/80sec @ f/11

George H W Bush Library

 Finally go to the George H W Bush Library at Texas A&M University.  This was our 2nd trip, first trip was 2017. Both George (6/12/24 - 4/17/18) and Barbara (6/8/25 - 4/17/18) were alive when we last visited and we wanted to see the changes.  Great library with lots of artifacts and facts.  I was worn out by the time it was time to go see the burial site, thus I missed that.  Oh well, another rode trip.

Here are some of the images I took on this trip.  All were shot with my Sony A7R5 and a Viltrox 14 mm wide angle prime lens.

Trail Ride

 The Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show has started.  No, I do not plan on attending. But I did attend an event that leads up to the show.  A trail ride, there are a number of groups ride their horses and drive their wagons to the show.  One of these is the Sam Houston Trail Ride that starts in Montgomery Texas and slowly meanders to Memorial Park in Houston.  From there they join a parade through downtown Houston.

I caught up with it in Tomball the where they rested.  Tomball has a large event welcoming them in town.  There is line dancing and other events. This allows an opportunity for a photoshoot.  Here are some of the shots I took that day.
