A few years ago, while on a bit of a holiday in Pa A few years ago, while on a bit of a holiday in Paris I attended an exhibit of @jpgaultierofficial fashions and grabbed a few shots. . For this image, I was lucky that the background was already fairly dark, so I blacked it out and brought out some of the detail in the corset to shadowbox the image. . . #jetaimeparis #jpgaultierofficial #jeanpaulgaultier #paris #fashion #gaultier #gaultierparis #travel #igersbnw #bwstyleoftheday #blackandwhite #igblackandwhite #instagrambnw #blackandwhitecreators #monoart #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #bnwinstagram #bw_photooftheday #bw_mania #flair_bw #bnwsouls #blackandwhiteisworththefight #bnw_planet #theworldshotz_bnw #on1pics

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
