Round Robin… Eggs?
Outside of my dining room window, a robin made her nest and laid four eggs. While doing some cleanup in the yard yesterday, we found that two had hatched. I ran to grab my camera before mommy returned thinking we were trying to steal her hatchlings and pecked out my eyes 😁. I don’t aspire […]
Pixaloop – Animate Still Photos
I downloaded the free version of Pixaloop (Apple iOS | Android) to my phone a few weeks ago, but never got around to taking it for a test drive until this morning. I loaded a recent photo of a sunset in the Poconos and started to run with it. Pixaloop’s interface is pretty straight forward, […]
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 […]
Astrophotography at Francis E. Walter Dam
Updated 24 April 2020: I added a third image from the night’s astrophotography shots with an amazing purple hue from the light pollution. Stacked from 16 lights and 5 darks in Starry Landscape Tracker, edited in On1 Photo. Continue reading the original post for information. Yesterday I received the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Pro mount which […]
Dealing with Isolation, Inertia and Creativity
I know things are challenging right now. I, and probably you as well, have been combating isolation and inertia. Trying to maintain levels of creativity while working my day job at home. Doing more with less, a smaller team and more work. Yes, I know that I shouldn’t complain, I am better off than a […]
COVID-19 Isolation at Bear Creek Falls
Yet another Groundhogs Day of Sparkling Isolation. Today I went out for a drive to maintain #socialdistance while trying to retain my sanity and escape my house. The weather was fairly nice early, so I stopped by Bear Creek Falls, one of my regular shooting locations here in the Pocono Mountains. I have been itching […]
Chain Bridge Traffic – Budapest
I found this short time lapse of Chain Bridge Traffic I took back in 2018 while in Budapest for work. We’re all stuck at home trying to #flattenTheCurve of the COVID-19 pandemic. When not working remotely, I’m going through terabytes of storage. Its like a electronic spring cleaning. This was one of the first time […]
Water Under the Bridge
Another day (day 15 and counting) of social distancing, everyday seems like “water under the bridge” in the fight against this pandemic. In order to try prevent losing my mind, I went out looking for some new places to photograph in the general area. This is really one of the few things I can do […]
Love More Now! Jim Thorpe Street Graffiti
Love More Now! Another of my street photos of an empty Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania during the COVID-19 “lockdown”. The streets of the town were completely empty with nothing going on except a stray car on State Route 209 or Broadway. It was a rare beautiful day for March. It was warm, sunny a wonderful spring […]
An Unexpected Award: View Bug Elite Architecture
Sometimes the unexpected award via email can be wonderful! Like many of you, I’ve been cooped up in various levels of quarantine, self-quarantine, social distancing or just #stayingthefuckhome. Even though I am generally introverted by nature, this isolation has been really weighing on and getting to me the past 24 hours or so. My motivation […]
