A textured canal shot from Venice, Italy...

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!

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!

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.  :-)

I've been experimenting with long exposures lately, so today I share something I created recently while shooting a sunset in Florence, Italy.  This is a 2 minute exposure shot with a Vu 10-stop Filter attached.  Check it out!
