NY Transit Museum – Moving in Time
I am still going through and processing photos taken last month at the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn. This is a single exposure HDR image taken with a Sony A7Riv and a Laowa 15mm f/2 lens. One thing I wanted to try was modifying the photo to give it the appearance of movement. Subways […]
Rust, Decay and Beauty
About six months ago I moved to Bethlehem, PA from the Pocono Mountains. My new place is on the South Side in the Arts District, a few blocks from Steel Stacks. This is the former home of Bethlehem Steel, which is now a 10 acre facility for arts, events, and of course MusikFest 🤟🏻 When […]
Brooklyn Transit Museum
A few weeks ago I visited the New York City Transit Museum to take photos of the old subway cars, machines and so many amazing vintage signs. It was a beautiful day out and one of my favorite human beings and photographers took me for a tour of the museum. While it may be on […]
Mother’s Day Present for Me
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! So, I don’t get into this publicly often. I lost my mother to cancer when I was just shy of ten years old, and she was 32. Like a lot of children, my mother was my world, and losing her at that young age has made […]
Happy New Year (and Screw You 2020!)
So it is a couple days into 2021, the hangovers and parties are done with. Here we are, a weekend of settling into the New Year has come and gone. The past 12 months have been a whirlwind of a dumpster fire, haven’t they. Well, I am going to try and leave all that behind […]
Astrophotography and the curse of clouds
A couple things going on here on the astrophotography front that I thought I would post about… Firstly, I bit the bullet and placed an order for some new gear. I got a Sky-Watcher EQ6 Mount and a Williams Optics Red Cat scope for use with my Sony A7Riv. Both of these are on back-order, […]
Online Photo Galleries
Setting up and maintaining online photo galleries, aka “Frustration, Annoyance and Chaos”. As this is predominately a blog for my photography (photoblog), you would think I have a clue on how to best do this. You would be wrong. I started this photoblog years ago, and things grew organically. By this I mean it just […]
Blowing Bubbles on the Thames
Don’t burst my bubble! Due to COVID-19 I’ve not been able to get out much to shoot new photos, but I have a hell of a backlog. This image was captured last year while in London on a business trip. I usually stay on Bankside near the Tate Modern and the River Thames. This location […]
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, […]
