Bear Creek Falls Waterfall I like to ride my motorcycle through the Poconos, and I regularly pass the Bear Creek Falls on my ride around the Francis Lewis Dam. It is usually a trickle of water falling down the step like rocks, but we have been deluged with rain for…

Traveling for work the on a long business trip tha Traveling for work the on a long business trip that had me in Rome for a weekend. As such, I absolutely had to visit the Vatican and St. Peter's. Unfortunately tripods were not allowed so I hand shot the bracket for this HDR image of the ceiling and dome of the basilica. . The shots were taken with a Sony A7Rii and a Laowa 15mm manual lens at f/2.8 (+/-2, 0 EV). Edits were done in Aurora HDR 2019 and On1 Photo 2020 (Beta version). I will be posting more photos as I get time to process them from Rome last week - Milan this week ... and Dublin next 😁📸♥️ ----- . . . . . . . #on1pics #sonyalphagallery #travelpicsdaily #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #thattravelblog #lonelyplanet #BBCTravel #justgoshoot #aChurchaDay #rome #vaticancity #vatican #saintpetersbasilica #hdr #kings_hdr #eclectic_shotz @venuslaowa @on1photo @wanderlust @visitromeofficial @vaticanpatrons @italiait @sonyalpha @st.petersbasilica @skylum_global
Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania - trying out the new @ven Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania - trying out the new @venuslaowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 lens for my @sonyalpha #A7Rii this weekend. The weather was amazing! There was a break in traffic on Broadway, so I sat the camera down on the street and grabbed three quick #brackets . Edits and cleanup were in @skylum_global #aurorahdr for the #hdr mapping and then @on1photo RAW for some basic cleanup and a couple tweaks to make me happy . @southernpoconos @townofjimthorpe @jimthorpepolicedepartment @visitjimthorpe @visitjimthorpepa #on1pics #JimThorpe #JimThorpePA #poconomnts #streetphotography #hdrphotography #ig_pennsylvania #pennsylvaniaphotographer #streetlevel #wideangle #ultrawideangle #tiltshift #travelphotography #NEPA #NEPATravel
Yesterday I went for a drive to a few local spots Yesterday I went for a drive to a few local spots I like to shoot at, including Hickory Run State Park, which has a long history in my #family back to the 1800s when Issac Gould on my father's side of the family owned a number of lumber mills in the area. I was having a rough day, as it was the 40th anniversary of my mother's passing, so I stopped at the old graveyard in the park (just across the way from the Ranger Station) to look around, think and grab a few photographs of the area. . This shot is of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Gould's marker, she died in 1849 at just about 11 years old from a major flood that raged through the area. Her older sister Joanna wrote about the flood in detail which can be read here (https://tinyurl.com/JoannaGouldFlood). It is said that Lizzie haunts the area, and I have to admit some REALLY weird things happened last night when I got back down the road to my place ... but that's for another time. . #on1pics #hickoryrunstatepark #poconoshistory #graveyard #gravemarker #headstone #pennsylvania #staylocal #pennsylvaniahistory #poconomnts #ghosts #pennsylvaniaphotographer #pastateparks #padcnr #forest #hikingtrails #ig_pennsylvania #weirdshithappens #geneology . @padcnr @visit_pa @poconomts @southernpoconos @sonyalphagallery @on1photo

Sagrada Familia - Look Up! There is so much to cat Sagrada Familia - Look Up! There is so much to catch your eye in Sagrada Familia, and I never get bored looking for new things and perspectives in the Basilica. This shot is from my last trip to Barcelona with a Platypod. Tripods are not allowed, but they did not seem to have issues with using the Platypod on the floor, go figure 🙂 . @basilicasagradafamilia @sonyalphagallery @visitbarcelona @barcelona_barcelona @thisisbarcelona @topbarcelonaphoto @wonderlust.barcelona @on1photo #sagradafamilia . #kings_hdr #hdrphotography #hdr #getlost #explorer #theworldshotz #createexplore #travelphoto #travelworld #keepexploring #instapassport #igtravel #on1pics #eclectic_shotz #visitbarcelona #barcelona #spain #catalunya #barcelonaspain #ig_barcelona #catalonia #church #cathedral #gaudi #platypod
