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

Bear Creek Waterfall, Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvan 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
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
Home Sweet Homicide ? . More older shots from a tr Home Sweet Homicide ? . More older shots from a trip to Australia about five years ago. This was in a museum somewhere in Sydney - I forget where - but I love the image and decided it was time to play with it. . This was shot with a Nikon D610 and a 24-85mm lens (29mm) at f/3.8 and ISO 1600 and completely worked on in @on1photo RAW . #todaysmood #selfportrait #selfie #on1pics #sydney #ig_sydney #australia #ig_australia #justgoshoot #tavelshotz #getlost #eclectic_shotz #igersbnw #nepa #downunder #bw_mania #bnw_planet_2019 #theworldshotz_bnw #landmarks #ig_travel #moody #skeleton #homesweethome #homesweethomicide #monochrome #bnw #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #nikon #blackandwhiteisworththefight
