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!

If you are looking for the best view of the skyline of Florence, Italy you can find that in today's blog post.  But it's not a secret - I had to share it with a few hundred of my closest friends.  :-)

Standing on a pile of rocks at the edge of Riomaggiore, Italy and happily firing away during a lovely blue hour - that's what's on tap here today, folks.  Dive in.

Today I share several more screenshots of the new and exciting Aurora 2017 from Macphun.  I show you some new tools as well as some existing tools that have been enhanced.  Dive in and explore all the good stuff that is coming from Macphun!  Oh, and get your pre-order in now!

Just a quick shot of a cool store in Austin - Room Service Vintage.  I have driven past it for years and always wanted to shoot it.  So, I finally did it and am glad that I did.

I always wanted to shoot a gorgeous sunset from this spot in Rome, and as luck would have it, it happened to me last week - by accident.  I wasn't even out on a photo hunt, I was just walking home from dinner with the family.  Then, this!

Don't you love it when you get a wonderful sunset at the place you have always wanted to photograph a wonderful sunset?  Yeah, sometimes it happens, and when it does, IT'S AWESOME.

Sometimes you have to give up looking for original shots and just join in with the crowd to get the shot you want.  And sometimes it's worth it to do so.

An amazing-looking restaurant I found while wandering in Sydney.  Well worth a quick stop for some HDR brackets!

Despite the exorbitant heat of summer, Sedona really does seduce the senses.  There are some incredible landscapes nearby that offer great photographic possibilities.  Today I show you Cathedral Rock.

Sometimes you wander into buildings and find amazing things - and then you have to return with the camera.  Don't you love happy accidents?

I'm a fan of bridges, and when in Sydney - this is the one to shoot.  Ideally you get a stellar sunset or a gorgeous blue hour, but either way, get over here and fire away!  :-)

My favorite software is about to get even better - Aurora HDR 2017 is coming soon!  Click on in for the details, and get ready!  It's a major update and it's wonderful!

About an hour away from Austin, in a tiny little Texas town, there's this beauty.  It's a painted church dating from the mid 1800's, and it's a real gem.  Step inside and have a look.

Here's a photo from lovely Bratislava.  It was shot during blue hour there, overlooking their Old Town, and I used Aurora HDR to accentuate details adjust some colors, and more.  Dive in, and also check out the video I did as well!

A handful of pics from the Queen of the Missions in San Antonio, TX - better known as Mission San Jose.

I have created what I believe to be the most comprehensive Aurora HDR tutorial on the web.  I spent weeks writing it up and I include many tips and tricks that I have learned through hard-won experience.  Dive in and see for yourself!

Today I take you on a tour of the lovely city of Paris, France - all in black and white.  Sure, I generally go for big colors, but change is good, and I am working to embrace my inner monochrome artist, and bringing it all to you right here!  Enjoy!

I had a friend in town last week, and we headed out to shoot this hidden gem in west Austin.  It's hard to beat a beautiful waterfall, isn't it?

Today I share an image from a most interesting spot in lovely London - a grungy graffiti tunnel.  It's not your normal London destination, but it's one of my personal favorites, and I share some thoughts on why I love this stuff so much.
