Today I share a couple of photos that I took recently while wandering in the Montmartre section of Paris.  It might be my favorite section of the city - so much beauty there!

Exploring the area near Notre Dame in Paris, I found this great little cafe all aglow, and just had to stop for some shots!

A quick snap from the San Lorenzo Market in Florence, Italy - something different but fun to shoot nonetheless!

Michelangelo carved an impressive statue of David out of marble.  It's imposing, awesome, and well worth a stop if you are in Florence, Italy.

Always have a camera with you - any camera - just in case you see a gorgeous sunset coming together.  I barely got this one in Lake Como, Italy but am sure glad that I did!

Out in the streets after dark in Italy - always a recipe for good photography opportunities!

A pair of blue hour shots from lovely Venice, Italy - so gorgeous after dark!

A lovely blue hour on a famous bridge in Rome - good times!

Inside a little cafe that we visited in Rome - great food, great people, and great photo opps too!  :-)

Sunset descends on the lovely Italian coastal town of Vernazza, and I share a guide I wrote about photographing the entire Cinque Terre area.  Enjoy!

The Bridge of Sighs, an iconic sight in Venice, captured during a beautiful sunset.  Enjoy!

A lovely street scene from Rome, complete with a domed church and cloudy skies - fun!

Some Italian laundry hanging out to dry - a fairly common scene across the entire country!

Some gondolas tied up and waiting for a ride - a common but iconic sight in lovely Venice.

There is just so much breathtaking beauty along the Cinque Terre in Italy.  Today I share a gorgeous view of Manarola, taken at twilight.  I loved it there!

Today's pic is a quiet and empty street in Florence, Italy, shot during a lovely sunset.  Oh, and I share a link to a webinar I recorded showing how I process the image - enjoy!

Today I explore creative options in Aurora HDR 2017 from Macphun.  Many people think HDR photos all look the same, but I prove that you can get a wide range of outputs with this powerful product.  Have a look and see which version you like best!

A beautiful sunset in southern France...don't you love happy accidents?

One evening in Florence I wandered over here to The Uffizi, which is an incredible museum and a place that I love to visit.  Thankfully the crowds were (mostly) gone.  Have a look and enjoy!

Two versions of a lovely blue hour in Rome for ya today - color and mono.  Either way, it was a gorgeous night to be shooting in Rome!
