Bryce Canyon National Park, October 2024 Believe it or not, I took this photo with my iPhone 13 Pro. I shot three frames in raw format and ran them through my normal workflow in Lightroom for making panoramas. I was surprised how nice this turned out! #photography #utah #brycecanyon #panorama

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Middle Prong Trail, about 2 miles in, there’s an old Cadillac that’s been sitting there since the 1930s. I photograph it every year or two. A tree fell on it a couple years ago so it doesn’t look like this anymore. #photography #smokymountains #gsmnp #oldcar

And old rusty car sitting in the forest, leaves on the ground, trees on the background.

We spent a couple weeks in France back in April of this year. We stopped in Vienne in the evening and I walked around taking random photos. I had to use a lot of noise reduction on the images but they turned out really nice! Here's one. #photography #france #vienne #streetphotography
