Full Moon over the Poconos I took this shot earlie Full Moon over the Poconos I took this shot earlier in January testing out my new @sonyalpha 200-600mm G OSS lens on the #A7Rii body. First off .. it was WAY too cold and more coffee was a necessity. Secondly, i F'ing love this #lens . Crazy sharp at its full range and open as far as it would go f/6.3.This is a cropped version of a three bracket #HDR 600mm, ISO 100, f/6.3 and merged using @on1photo with very little work in post - a bit of dynamic contrast and cleaning up sensor dust... yeah its time for a cleaning.Edit - I really hate how IG sometimes steps all over images with it's compression 😥 . . #on1pics #meandmymanfrotto #ig_pennsylvania #justgoshoot #pennsylvaniaphotographer #ig_great_pics #eclectic_shotz #moonscape #fullmoon #moonpics #ig_moon #nightphotography #weownthenight #astrophotography #astro_photography #ig_nightphotography #kings_hdr #shootforthemoon

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

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
