Trafalgar Square Fountain
Trafalgar Square Fountain and Skeleton Last month I was in London for work, and had a weekend to walk and shoot (photos silly – it is England after all …). I walked out to the National Portrait Gallery and Trafalgar Square and grabbed a bunch of images, including this one of one of the fountains in […]
Westminster Abbey – Black and White HDR
Westminster Abbey Another image of Westminster Abbey from my trip to London in January. This one was captured using a Sigma 12-24mm lens at about 17mm on my Nikon d610. The HDR was created from two sets of three exposures (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) merged in AuroraHDR Pro and then tweaked about until I was happy […]
Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London
Saint Paul’s Cathedral from the Banks of the Thames I recently returned from a business trip to London and surrounding areas, and had some free time to walk around and take photos. It was interesting to be alone in a city again, with only my camera. On this night, the Thames was at low tide, […]
Akaroa New Zealand
Akaroa NZ – France meets Kiwis I’ve just returned from a business trip through Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and Christchurch, New Zealand for the past few weeks. After work on our last day in the Christchurch area we took a drive down around route 75 south with no particular destination in mind, just driving through […]
Sunset over Albrightsville
Sunset photos from 100 Feet over Albrightsville Still getting the hang of the Phantom 3 – as well as third party applications. Tonight it finally stopped threatening to rain, and the wind died down here in Albrightsville Pennsylvania, so I took out the drone and fired up a new app I grabbed: AutoPilot (iOS: App Store) and […]
More Phantom Photos – then a crash
The tree jumped out in front of me … honest officer Flying the Phantom UAV around after work, playing with the controls, got a bit more comfortable so I took it up between 350 and 400 feet and out into the forest somewhere around 500 feet. Got a couple good images, which I cleaned up in […]
Budapest: Saint Matthias Church III
Mátyás-templom (Saint Matthias Church) I’ve posted other photos of Saint Matthias Church in my Budapest photo gallery, but I really did like the way this image came out. This building has had a long, somewhat crazy, history. Tradition holds Saint Stephen founded the church as the Church of Mary in 1015 AD, and this original […]
Buda Castle: Public Art and Sculptures
Buda Castle – Sculptures and Artwork Walking around on my last day in Budapest, within the Buda Castle District, there are dozens of outdoor bronze statues and sculptures. I never did find out the name of this one, but it appears to be Saint/King Matthias based on the other artworks in the general area. I need […]
Budapest: Guarding the Entrance
None shall pass I’ve been home about a week from my last business trip, and I am still going through thousands of photos I took on my downtime in Barcelona and Budapest. This is one from Budapest, as you enter the courtyard to the Budapest History Museum. I visited the museum on my last trip, but […]
Sziget Festival – I’m (not) with the band
Sziget Festival – I’m (not) with the band I am in Budapest, Hungary on the last leg of my European business trip, and apparently it coincides with Sziget Festival – one of the largest music festivals in Europe is in town this week. All flights were full (or as mine was – overbooked), hotels are packed, […]
