A long weekend in New York City and first stop is the Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center. I indulge my affinity for panoramas as a afterthought, I took a set of four images to photo merge a set laterally rather than the usual side too side.
This one had been picking at me for a while, and only recently have I found the direction I wanted for this to turnout. Taken with a Nikon D7000 and edited in Lightroom CC.

2016 was a bit of a tempest for my family and many things had to be pushed to the back burner. Only recently have I been able to return to my various hobbies and writing. This proved to be more of a trial, made evident when I happened to hit the wrong button and deleted many of the images from this site. This turned out to be fortuitous as I had to go through various backup drives and SD chips, searching for images to restore my site and, in the process, found many other images waiting to be edited and posted.

Finally had a chance to get out of town and head off to SinCity USA… Las Vegas. I was there to click off a few pictures, partake in the overpriced food and meet some of the cast members of the various incarnations of the Star Trek franchise. Continue reading Sci-Fi Color Study; To Boldly Go…
For many years I worked as a flight engineer for unmanned aircraft. When I retired, I got my own quadcopter just to scratch that itch when I felt the need to fly. This panorama was done with screen captures from a Hero 4 Plus adapted to my quadcopter. It is no where near the resolution for printing, but makes for a good web or Facebook post.

An early morning run across Arizona on an 80 mile trek west of Tucson for a few good pictures before I had to dodge the crowds. This image is 5 separate photos brought together for one 50 inch long image. It took a great deal more editing to make up for the high contrast that goes with the unrelenting winter sun, but I’m somewhat happy with the results.
Paris is the center of the known universe. I say that without reservation. What I wanted most from one of my trips across the pond was a panorama of the Paris skyline. The hard part was finding a high enough point to take that picture. As you can see, Paris is a rather flat city. With the slight exception of a tall, black building near the center, I was at a loss to find a high point until I came to the Arc de Triomphe. From there I was able to achieve my goal.
