Boathouse Row at Night

One weekend this summer, I was on a photography field trip to Boathouse Row along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.

This is 3 exposure HDR (-2/0/+2) shot on my Nikon D5100 with a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX-II (rented) and a 0.9 (3 stop) ND filter. The images were imported into Adobe Lightroom and…

Quaker Road

Quaker Road is a narrow country road with a ditch on one side and a river on the other. There is no place to stop. But this day, I looked behind me and there was no car in sight.…
