Welcome To The Daily View

Today was a very busy day for me and Kim. But among all of the errands we ran we did manage to take off a couple hours to head into the city and visit Penn's Landing. And while there you know I had to shoot at least a couple of snapshots. So for today's photo I am sharing a Panorama I made with my camera phone.

This is made up of five separate frames and was created by Google Photos. I did some very minor adjustments in Photoshop but for the most part it is straight out of camera. It was also shot in Full Auto. As such there really is no need to share Technical Info or even a "Before" image.

Welcome To The Daily View

Today we are going back a few weeks and taking a look at some fireworks over the Ben Franklin Bridge that connects Philadelphia Pennsylvania with Camden New Jersey. This is from New Years Eve and was viewed from the Spirit of Philadelphia cruise ship.

I adjusted the colors in Photoshop and darkened the image to make it look more natural. I also cropped out the people around me giving it kind of a panoramic look.

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 10, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

What a cold and winter-like day we had today! Temperatures didn't raise above 40° F (About 4.5° C). But that didn't stop us from heading to the city to visit Penn's Landing Playhouse located at the Independence Seaport Museum to watch a live performance of "Little Shop of Horrors". Kim and I enjoy live theater and today's show did not disappoint. And after the show we took a quick walk around Penn's Landing to look at the scenery. I didn't have my DSLR with me because I wanted to travel light. Instead I broke in my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-XS50. The Lumix is unique in today's world of compact Point and Shoots whereas it has a viewfinder (not just a rear screen) and it will save images in RAW format. Two things that are an absolute must for me. Especially the viewfinder. Just try using the rear screen on a bright beach and you will know why. But enough of that. Here is my offering for today.

This is the Ben Franklin Bridge and part of the Camden Waterfront in New Jersey as viewed from Philadelphia. While the Lumix does offer a Panoramic Mode I opted to shoot three frames and merge them in Photoshop. This may not be DSLR quality but overall I think it came out pretty good. Feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comment section.

February 20, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Tonight Kim and I drove to the city to attend a show at The Penn's Landing Playhouse. Of course I can't go anywhere without grabbing a few shots. I didn't have my regular camera with me and and it was very cold so these are not my best work but here goes anyway. Maybe I'll get back there when he weather turns and spend some more time photographing.

And that's all for now folks. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to came back soon.
