Night Picture taken just out side of the Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom. Canon S95 Shutter 2 sec, Aperture at 2 and iso at 80. I used a near by ledge to set the camera on and set a timer so the camera would stay nice and still. This image is as is with no post editing. Not to bad for a Point and shoot

Downtown Austin. I replaced the face of the Clock with the one from a under exposed picture. Otherwise the Clock face would have been washed out.

I plan on posting more lightning pictures. A lot of luck went into this picture. This was a 30sec exposure and I could only try a few times before the rain.

Austin Texas Congress Ave Night. This is layered picture taken from first street bridge. The black and white part of the photo was a 20 sec exposure taken at night. The sunset part of the picture was actually taken from the Congress Ave bridge.

What can I say. I don't think this Plant wanted it's picture taken ( Flip the bird ).
I was surprised this Monarch Butterfly allowed me to get this close. I used a 135 focal length and only had to crop a little in post.

The lens used in the four pictures below is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm 1:3.5-4.5 USM. The Camera used is the Canon eos 40D. The HDR Images were taken in sets of three and merged with Photomatix using EV -2,0,2 for each. The ISO’s were a little high at 400-800 causing noise. For HDR I probably should have dropped the ISO down to 200. There’s always next time.

Photomatix HDR of the 360 bridge in Austin Texas. 5 exposures used EV 2, 1 ,0,-1,-2. iPhoto was used for the Black And White, Color boost, Definition and a little extra noise reduction.
This picture of the moon was taken with the Canon 40D using the 28-135 EF lens zoomed in to 135mm and then cropped at about 40% later. ISO was set very low at 100 and the shutter speed was set to 1/200. By the way. Yes, I know that this is not a picture of Austin, Tx but it was taken from Austin, Tx.

This is a picture taken at Zilker Park along the train tracks. This was shot in RAW and later given a Light HDR touch up to bring out my son
The Canon 580Ex flash was used to light up my daughter
This picture of my wife and son was taken at the LadyBird Johnson Wildflower Children's Center. The Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens was used. No flash needed, just natural light. The low f-stop gave a very nice bokeh effect.
This is by far one of my favorite pictures of my oldest son. This made a better black and white than it did a color due to the ISO noise. An ISO of 1000 and f-stop 2 was used to give me a usable handheld shutter speed with no image stabilization as well as a nice blurred background. The lens used was the Canon 50mm 1.8 Prime.
I took a few images and combined them for a more fantasy look. Multiple color gradients were used to bring out the sky and suns. Clouds were layered over the bottom half of the moon.

One guy, one camera and the nerve to think he knows what he's doing. Originally a Houston native, I’ve lived here in Austin, TX since 2001. I got into photography because my wife threatened me with prolonged nagging if I did not start using my creative talents in a productive / quit-wasting-money-on-your-hobby kind of way. So here you go, Hope you enjoy. Contact me at...

Mr. Marino
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how wonderful your photography is. Truly great work and I’ve added quite a few of your images to my Desktop Wallpaper folder. It makes my days so much better to be able to see a glimpse of our lovely city through a talented eye.
Thanks again for doing what you do!
Best

I was born in Austin and its my home. I recently had to move away from Austin
A number of your pictures rotate through my desk top back ground and are a precious reminder of home – you have captured the beauty of the city I’ve been so fortunate to call home. I’d be interested in purchasing a few different prints. Keep doing what you do.
Take Care.

I grew up in Austin, living there for 26 years before moving away about 6 years ago. I have been very homesick lately and having your gorgeous picture of downtown as my work desktop has helped me feel better! Thank you and keep taking your lovely pictures!

Mr. Marino,
Thank you for allowing me, and others, to use your breathtaking Austin skyline pictures as computer desktops. It is nice to see such awesome photos of Austin, and not be charged for it or have to look at some advartisment. I went to UT in the early 2000′s, moved after graduation, and have missed it every second since.
Thank you!
