Chasing Sunrises Across Texas State Parks: A Landscape Photographer's Six-Year Quest

Texas landscape photographer Maegan Lanham spent about six and a half years visiting and photographing every Texas state park, chasing sunrises, revisiting favorite spots for changing light, and prioritizing lightweight gear for backcountry hikes and kayak shoots. Using OM SYSTEM gear (OM-1 Mark II with 12‑40mm and 7‑14mm lenses) and in‑camera tools like Live ND, Live Composite, Starry Sky AF, and focus stacking, she captures both landscape and occasional wildlife while emphasizing the experience and the conservation of public lands.

"Experience the Solar Eclipse at Texas State Parks: Unforgettable Views Await!"

Texas State Parks will offer prime viewing opportunities for the annular solar eclipse on October 14. Entry to state parks on the day of the eclipse will be restricted to those who pre-purchased day passes or camping permits. The eclipse will pass over Texas from Midland/Odessa to Corpus Christi, and 17 state parks will be along its path. The moon will begin blocking the sun around 10:20 a.m., with the ring of fire becoming visible around 11:40 a.m. State parks recommend arriving early, bringing supplies, parking in designated areas, and attending ranger-led programs.
