Bear Creek Waterfall, Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania. A long-exposure shot of the waterfalls along Bear Creek. I took this with my Sony A7Rii and a Laowa 15mm f/2 lens which is a combination that I ABSOLUTELY love for these shots (as well as my HDR architecture and astrophotography work). . @on1photo @venuslaowa @southernpoconos @discovernepa @visit_pa @poconotourism #on1pics #venuslaowa #laowa15mmf2 #meandmymanfrotto #ig_pennsylvania #justgoshoot #pennsylvaniaphotographer #pennsylvania #ig_shotz_travel #visitpennsylvania #ig_great_pics #travelphotography #eclectic_shotz #master_gallery #instanaturefriends #EarthCapture #discover_earthpix #landscapeoftheday #landscape_capture #landscapephotos #landscapes #ic_longexpo #longexpo_addiction #longexpoelite #longexposure_shot #longexpo #longexposureoftheday @sonyalphagallery @sonyalpha @discovercarbonpa

Nothing like walking around Lisbon in the spring and enjoying the sights with your camera. I was walking in the Praca Do Comercio area and I heard the strange otherworldly sounds of someone plaing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujia on ... a Wood Saw!

Mauch Chunk Opera House - Jim Thorpe, PA I've been

Mauch Chunk Opera House - Jim Thorpe, PA I've been experimenting with some new wide angle lenses, especially the Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 I picked up recently, as well as some ideas around Black and White HDR images. I shot this with a Sony A7Rii and the Laowa 10-18mm in three exposures (+/-2,0), ISO 100 f/5.6, editing it in On1 Photo RAW. . As far as edits go, while it may not look it, I only did a couple things after doing the HDR Mapping - I added some dynamic contrast, a sunshine glow and a custom LUT I've been working on ... and starting to really dig. . @MCOperaHouse @SouthernPoconos @Visit_PA @VisitJimThorpe @VisitJimThorpePA @TownOfJimThorpe @DiscoverNEPA @PoconoTourism @On1Photo @SonyAlphaGallery @VenusLaowa . #on1pics #poconomnts #ig_pennsylvania #pennsylvania_photographer #ig_nepa #justgoshoot #staycation #getlost #eclectic_shotz #kings_hdr #igersbnw #nepa #JimThorpe #paphotographer #bw_mania #bnw_planet_2019 #theworldshotz_bnw #landmarks #ig_travel #moody #Pennsylvania #monochrome #bnw #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography

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

Sunset over the Poconos taken from my backyard loo

Sunset over the Poconos taken from my backyard looking towards Skirmish 📸 . An older image taken with my drone and processed in On1 Photo RAW. I just love the colors of the sunset and clouds - not to mention the sun flares... It gets me in the mood to break out the drone and maybe capture some fireworks here in the Poconos this weekend! . #on1pics #poconomnts #ig_pennsylvania #pennsylvania_photographer #ig_nepa #justgoshoot #staycation #getlost #eclectic_shotz #kings_hdr #ig_drone #dronephotography #nepa #paphotographer #dronestagram #sunset #sunflare #landmarks #ig_travel #moody #Pennsylvania #forest #lightflare #horizon . @southernpoconos @visit_pa @discovernepa @discovercarbonpa @on1photo @poconotourism @djiglobal
