Sunset over the Pocono Mountains

Driving home in the Pocono Mountains, out here in North East Pennsylvania, I had to pull over to grab some shots of this gorgeous sunset. The sky was on fire, lit up with amazing reds, purples and yellows.

I had my Sony A7Riv and Tamron 28-75mm in the car with a tripod, so set up quickly and grabbed the images below. The first sunset is an HDR merge of three brackets (+/-2, 0 EV) and worked lightly in On1 Photo RAW 2020.

This next shot is a panorama of seven images stitched and developed using On1 as well. The colors really blew my mind!

Not really up to a lot of writing tonight, so I will just leave you with these beautiful photos – we all need more beauty in our lives these days. For the photo geeks, the EXIF information is below 📸❤️👍🏻

Editing more shots from The Mission show at St Vitus in Brooklyn.

So, I was a bass player at one point in my life ... and that fact is strongly owed to this fine gentleman - Craig Adams - one of the best and unique players IMO... and he played for some of the best bands Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, The Cult and others ..

Thanks for an amazing show ...and a damn good attempt at Julianne Regan`s backing vocals 🖤

Editing the photos from this weekend`s Nission show at St Vitus in Brooklyn. First time I am really shooting anyuthing with my phone (iPhone 15 pro max) vs using my DSLR (Sony A7Riv) for this kind of work and honestly surprised with the quality in the lighting conditions of the club.

The Mission put on one of the best shows I have seen in AGES in one of the most intimate venues, stripped down and laid bare. Over 35 years after God`s Own Medicine came out Wayne can still sing like a motherfucker and without bullshit auto-tune ... much love and respect man

MacBook Pro Stand

By John Hoke / August 25, 2023

Scratching an itch (but not the MacBook Pro) I love my MacBook Pro, and with the M2 Max chip using multiple monitors is a godsend. The problem is that with two huge monitors on my desk, having space for the laptop is a challenge. Luckily I have a couple Bambu...
