One of my favorite places in New York, as cliche as it may be, is right smack dab in the middle of Times Square. All the lights, people, sounds, everything, just make it so energized. Last time I was there I didn't have my tripod and wasn't able to get a shot like this. Armed with my Manfrotto this time however, I set up shop on a street corner, fired off 7 brackets and was pretty pleased with the shot!
As always, you can read about the processing I've done on this shot and all my images on on my website.
New blog post today, In the middle of it all! Check it out if you have a chance!
I hope that you all have a great week!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

Neo-Gothic style church, designed in 1866 by architect Father Clavelin. Construction work began in 1886 and was completed in 1892. It is composed by a graceful facade with a belfry and finishing work that seems to have been made with lace. Inside the church, the highlights are paintings inspired by French Gothic monuments. Alongside the church stands the Immaculate Conception School, whose creation was decided by the Emperor Pedro II for the education of court girls, upon the arrival of the Vincentian Sisters in Brazil.

A Bee Right? No, actually it is a Wasp. I did not know until I research seeking for the scientific name of it, I could not find the exactly stripes pattern to 100% match the species but I learnt that it is a Wasp not a bee. Cool isn't?
Could someone help ID it please?

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the world's oldest shopping malls. Housed within a four-story double arcade in central Milan, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy, who also laid the first stone on March 7th 1865. It was designed in 1861 and built by architect Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877.
For sheer belle époque splendour, this extravagant 19th-century glass-topped, barrel-vaulted tunnel serves as a lively, noisy and most of all colourful shopping mall, swarming with life and inviting you to people-watching from the tables that spill from the Galleria's many bars and restaurants. Therefore, the Galleria is often nicknamed 'il salotto di Milano' (Milan's drawing room), due to its numerous shops and importance as a common Milanese meeting and dining place.
Nice fact: in 2012, the McDonald's restaurant in the Galleria was prevented from renewing its tenancy after 20 years of occupancy. McDonald's sued the landlord - the municipality of Milano - for €24 million in damages, alleging that the loss of the lease will deprive McDonald's of €6 million per year in sales. During its last few hours of operation, the restaurant offered free food and drinks to over 5000 customers as a kind of protest. This tactic partly worked. The McDonald's restaurant was replaced with the gallery's second Prada store. But McDonald's renounced its suit against the municipality after receiving the opportunity to open a new restaurant in building next to the Galleria.
Finally, you may wonder why Carabinieri are checking peoples bags (on the right). That’s not to check if you bought enough stuff at Prada, but this was due to the finishing of the Giro d'Italia 2017 at the Piazza Del Duomo; which is situated next to the Galleria.
Technical stuff
This panorama consists of 27 individual handheld photos, take in three horizontal rows. The photo have approximately a 45% horizontal and 60% vertical overlap to compensate for all the curvatures in the construction of The Galleria; especially its roof.
All photos were made with a Fujifilm X-T2 with a Fujifilm XF10-24mmF4 R OIS mounted. The focal length I used was 15.0 mm (although the EXIF data says different). Using 10.0 mm normally leads to too much distortion, and therefore you have to take lots more photo to compensate for this wide angle effect.
For the initial merge I used PS CC. I find that this panorama algorithm or “pano engine” is the best to work with in my workflow. After stitching I used Photoshop’ warp tool to stretch and address the remaining geometric distortions.
Post-production included colour toning, balancing the overall lighting, highlighting some aspects, enhancing the contrast using a High Pass filter (set at 10,0) and I finally add the copyright watermark. The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the frequent copying of my photos. So, don't bother commenting on that.
The final image is 1,4 GB large and is the size of wall paper. So, I resized it for Flickr to a mere 3000 pixels. Which is a actually not more than a postage stamp compared to the original image.

I’m often asked how I create my AI photography images—especially by those using the same tools but getting very different results. Here’s a brief tutorial outlining my process for crafting refined AI visuals:
1.Start with a Line Sketch
Create a clean line drawing of your subject. Scan it at a minimum of 300 dpi for optimal clarity—this resolution consistently yields the best results.
2.Recover with AI Photo Tool
Use an AI photo recovery tool to transform your sketch into a base image. I typically select the “Severe” setting to maximize structural fidelity.
3.Enhance with AI Image Tool
Apply an AI image enhancement tool to refine detail. I prefer Version 2 with a 6-pass setting and the “Photography” filter for depth and realism.
4.Retouch for Precision
Use a photography retouch tool to eliminate blemishes, wrinkles, extra fingers, or other AI-generated artifacts. Zoom in closely to catch subtle errors. The lasso tool offers excellent control once mastered.
5.Smooth with Light Enhancement
Apply a light-setting enhancement to correct any smearing from the retouch phase. This step improves lighting, restores clarity, and sharpens the final image.
6.Finalize with Branding
Add your watermark or company symbol to complete the piece and protect your creative identity.
Probably the question that I get asked more than any other is about my photography workflow. I actually feel like my photography workflow is pretty simple so I thought I'd write up a brief post documenting my process all the way from photo capture to photo publishing. Feel free to ask any questions if you need me to elaborate on things.
1. Step one, capture the image: I carry my Canon 5D and 5 lenses (24mm, 14mm, 50mm, 135mm, 100mm macro) with me in a backpack every where I go. I take advantage of the routine time wasted in a day to turn that time into photography. Walking to and from the BART train. Going out for lunch. Waiting in line somewhere. All kinds of everyday moments become photographic opportunities.
Of course I also go out on specific photowalks all the time. Sometimes these are weekend trips away from home, other times they are just evenings out shooting with friends or with my wife. I use 2 8GB SanDisk cards.
To learn more about what is in my camera bag you can read this post here.
2. Step two, transfer the image to the computer: Here I use a high speed USB card reader. All card readers are not created equal. Spend the extra few bucks and get a high speed reader. Every day or other day I use my card reader to offload images on my camera card to my computer. In my case when I plug in my card reader Canon's "Camera Window" software automatically loads. This software then pulls all of my images off of my CF card and puts them into folders on my computer titled by date taken. After my images are transferred to my MacBook Pro I then put the card back in the camera and delete the images off of it. If I'm on an all day shoot I'll take breaks during my day (coffee, lunnch, etc.) to take a moment and clear out my cards.

3. Step three, sort photos: Here I open the folder that has all of the RAW files from a given day's images using Adobe's Bridge software. I create a subfolder in the dated folder called "maybe." I go through the day's photographs and I drag anything that I think might have potential into the "maybe" folder.
4. Step four, first pass processing using Adobe Camera RAW: My next step is to open all images in a day's maybe folder using Adobe Camera RAW (comes with both Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom). You simply select all of the images in your maybe folder, right click, and select "Open in Camera RAW." This is where 95% of my photo processing is done.
With camera RAW you can adjust the contrast of a photo, the exposure of a photo, the saturation of a photo. You can adjust the temperature of a photo (the reason why some white lights are sulfur yellow and other white lights are soft blue), you can adjust the vignette (black or white edges around a photo), fill lighting, etc. Adobe Camera RAW uses sliders to make these adjustments and it is easy as pie.
After I get an individual image to where I want it I will use the "Save" button in camera RAW to save that finished photo as a JPG in a new folder "Finished Images."
After I process my first pass imagery I move that date's archive folder off my Mac and onto my drobo to back it up and store it more safely. Note, none of my RAW files are ever saved as processed. I consider my RAW files my negatives and always want to be able to go back to them and process from scratch if need be.
5. Step five, 2nd pass processing: Once I've finished my first pass processing I will point Bridge to the "finished images" folder. Here I will look at each finished JPG image in as large a format as possible looking for photos that need additional work. Typically less than 10% of my photos need additional work beyond camera RAW.
The type of work here is all done in Photoshop. As I go through the images I look for a few things consistently. Images that need slight sharpening. Images that have dust spots on them that need to be fixed with the cloning tool in Photoshop. Images that could benefit from dodging or burning, etc. As I see an image in Bridge that needs additional fine tuning I will double click on the image in Photoshop, make my edits, save the file and close it.
6. Step six, keywording: My next step is to keyword all of my photos using Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge has pretty powerful keywording capabilities. I can batch and bulk keyword photos. I might start out, for instance, keywording every single photo I just processed as "Las Vegas" "DMU Las Vegas Meetup 2008" "Vegas". From there I then might go through sub batches and keyword them (say Caeser's or Wynn or Venetian). From there I might then bulk keyword certain frequently used attributes (neon, mannequin, graffiti, night, etc.). And then I go through each image individually adding any final keywords image by image.
Keywording is important because these keywords will be automatically read as tags by sites like Flickr and Zooomr. It also allows you better to search your finished imagery in the future on your computer. The Importance of Keywording Your Photos.
7. Step seven, geotagging: Here I use a free program called Geotagger. Geotagger works with Google Earth and allows you to pinpoint a spot on the planet using Google Earth and then drag and drop any images from that location onto the program and geotags them with that coordinate. Geotagger only works for the Mac but there are lots of other free geotagging programs like Geotagger out there that work with Windows. When you geotag your photos at the file level both Flickr and Zooomr automatically add them to the meta data on your photo and place them on their site maps.
8. Step eight, sort finished photos into A or B to be uploaded folders: My next step is to go through my imagery and basically sort 80/20. What I feel are my strongest 20% go into a folder "B." The rest go into a folder "C."
9. Step nine, publish: I publish twice a day usually but this is by no means a hard and fast rule. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I typically publish 10-15 photos at a time selected mostly at random from my growing pool of "to be uploadeds."
I make sure that when I upload these 10 or 15 shots in a batch that the "B" shots are uploaded last as Flickr and Zooomr only highlight the last 5 shots that you upload in an upload batch. I want these to be what I feel are my better images.
And that's it. I'm sure that there are more efficient ways that I could be processing my imagery but this has worked for me for a while now. Feel free to ask any questions as the above might sound a bit complicated to some.

I wanted to do something a little different with one of my Mexico shots out of the archive, so I put this together. If you are interested in my workflow, read on... First, I took three RAW exposures (+3,0,-3) and fed them into Photomatix Pro, where I did a light exposure fusion (I toned down highlights/shadows and aimed for a smooth combination with fairly low contrast). I then took the TIF file created and opened it in Photoshop CS5 (Lightroom is always my hub for my workflow). I sent the file into Alien Skin Exposure (a plug-in I heavily rely on for toning), and went for a warm low contrast look. The toned file was brought back into Photoshop. I then layered Kim Klassen's "Little Things" texture over the top with a Multiply blend mode. I added a layer mask and brushed down the texture effect a bit in the middle. I then added another texture layer (Kim Klassen's "Evolve") at low opacity (25%) and a Soft Light blend mode. I flattened the image, and then added an inch of canvas all around, choosing a neutral tone from the center of the image for color. This would help serve as my frame. I then put the image into OnOne PhotoFrame, where I chose the "Malvre Background". This covered everything, but the look was fine. I accepted this and brought it back into Photoshop, where I then masked off the effect from most of the image, but feathered it (125 pixels) for a smooth transition. I then added my signature...and this is the finished result. I add this info and the metadata info back in Lightroom. Now this sounds like a lot of work, but actually only represents about 15 minutes...for two reasons: 1) I am very familiar with the programs in the my workflow, so my time needed to do what I want is drastically reduced. 2) I have a high powered PC with 8 cores and 12GB of RAM (very important for photo work). My PC works fast, enabling me to work fast. Hope this little insight helps someone...
Technical info: Canon EOS 60D, Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, 3 exposure fusion in Photomatix Pro, processed in Adobe Lightroom 4, toned in Alien Skin Exposure 4, Signature and texture layers added in Adobe Photoshop CS5

Today we will head back over to Station Square for a shot of the Smithfield St. Bridge, which connects Carson St. to downtown Pittsburgh. I actually took this shot with my 50mm lens, as the 16-35 was a bit too wide to capture the angle that I wanted on the bridge. I think that it turned out ok!
As always, you can read about the processing I've done on this shot and all my images on on my website.

Here is a little behind-the-scenes of my creative process. With every one of my designs I try to flush things out early on with quick sketches and color studies before diving into generating the assets.
This is an example of my Signalera piece, where I started with a very quick sketch of composition, then a study in Illustrator, and the final piece.
