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

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

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
