This winter I had so much fun with my new GoPro Hero, the water and shock resistant camera you can stick on to pretty much anything. The usual attire I saw for those using the GoPro was to stick it on top of their helmet, but I had a much better tim...

News flash - its finally snowing again in Ortisei - one of the best places on the planet to go skiing. Here are some photos from last year! And for those who dont remember, here are the 5 reasons skiing in Italy is better than in the rest of the ...

Mixing into HDR the long exposure of people walking cross the road, with the couple frozen as they look at their map... gives this photo an odd time travel feel :) The following instead has more of a time "freeze" to it. How do you prefer it? Lik...

A video portfolio I quickly made using entirely my iPhone 4S and apps on it. For the videos, see my timelapse post, for more iPhone photos - follow me with #runningronin on istragr.am. For my regular DSLR photos - just hit some of my location links t...

Recently bough an awesome app for my iPhone 4s for $1.99 - its called "Timelapse." Such app - has one simple use - make timelapse videos... (as the very "original" name implies). The video above and those below have all ben made with such app (for m...

One answer - go to the Paradise Pier Hotel if you want the benefits of the Grand California with half the expense. Plus you get a great view of the fireworks and of World of Color! :) Benefits: Walking distance to the Park 2 miniutes to downtown Dis...

You get the gist of it :) Didnt use the usual tonemapping process through detail enhancing... guess what Photomatix preset I used? More HDR and DSLR New York photos here.Creative Commons License Feel free to use photos with credits and links. No c...

Found this secret garden walking around Midtown (I guess) in Manhattan - but have no clue what is its exact location... anybody know it? Creative Commons License Feel free to use photos with credits and links. No commercial use without permission.

When you leave Mark City, you can take the escalator that takes you to Shibuya square. Take a right and you will be heading towards the Cerulean Tower. The photo above is the first alley you cross... anybody have an idea why there is an Adidas symbol...

Walked to the river in Osaka and took a stroll on an island park out there. Took a few pictures with my Nikon D90. Have no clue what was the name of the park, but it was right on the river and quite beautiful......

Tokyo Teleport is the actual name of a train station in Tokyo that stops at Odaiba. As I'm traveling back and forth to Tokyo lately, I wish the name of the station was actually what you would expect from a Sci-Fi movie... A nice teleportation center...

I took these photos over several days from my room at the Shibuya Hotel Excel Tokyu - great view btw. Unfortunately the cleaning crew moved my tripod a bit between photos :) The Tokyu in Shibuya has the BEST location of any hotel in Shibuya - just t...

I need to use a better movie editor than Picasa... but here is my last trip to Tokyo in under a minute (the better movie effects were done with Animoto). The music is from a great royalty free music website called Incompetech.Creative Commons Licens...

And what you see in the background below is not Manhattan. It's actually Odaiba, a shopping area in the bay of Tokyo, with many touristy attractions. Including a miniature Statue of Liberty... I used to think that the real Statue of Liberty was...

From the top of some of the Shibuya highrise hotels you have an unfettered view of the Tokyo Skyline into Yoyogi Park and Shinjuku. In the photo above I've detailed all the various buildings you can see. The most interesting buildings are probably t...

Typically, when I check the weather for my next travel destination - I find more and more that I prefer partly cloudy, to almost anything. In Tokyo, specificlly, instead what you really want is scattered thunderstorms. Especially if you are going dur...

"Crown and Bull" - NY, NY I don't normally say I love my own photos... but I love this photo... and I took it! Hurra! :) I think I like it so much cause it reminds me of a game series called Kingdom Hearts which I totally love. The non-blurred "bull...

A stroll around Midtown in New York during Labor Day weekend. It was hot, humid and awesome as only New York can be. Creative Commons License Feel free to use photos with credits and links. No commercial use without permission.

This post was largely (99% pretty much) created by iPhone photo Jedi Master @olearydj. The photo above is also one of his. I follow his awesome work on instagr.am and have asked him for his advice on what tools he uses on his iPhone 4 to create the...

Not a photo... but something from the past that I still totally love. Today Google released a doodle that was not delivered to the US (I guess cause the US never loved Queen). For people who understand music (and games) or simply have a love for thi...

Wake up at 5:45... go looking for a "bar" in downtown palinuro ("in paese") where I can get a croissant ("cornetto") and a expresso with a hint of warm milk in it ("eSpresso macchiato"). The run over to the port to take some sunrise photos of the boa...

The above movie takes you on a walk through Rome. If you like shopping, this is the walk you have to take... if you miss Rome, these are the places you used to visit on a Sunday. To make this video, I took over 300 photos (collages here), walking fo...
