Nice Shot
Put it through Topaz or ON1 Denoise and it will even be better
That’s one of my favorite spring and early summer spots.
Looks like headlights are on the lighthouse
Was that shot recent?
Looks like an early July shot
A Lens heater will help
I’ve also banded chemical hand warmers in a pinch.
Something often overlooked are spare batteries. In temps under freezing they can lose charge.
It’s best to keep them in a coat pocket
The root problem is that designs in aircraft and half of other things these days have gotten to the point that no one knows the basics.
We have a ton of pilots that know how to run the computerized systems but don’t know how to fly without them.
If pilots were trained properly, the first step during an emergency would be to turn off the automation and fly the plane until it was figured out.
Nice job
Wonder if luminar or on1 sky replace can be used for this
Nice Shots. They have one at Steamtown in Scranton PA as well. Don't believe it is functional.
Thanks for Sharing

I like it a lot. That said, is the blue too strong?
Thanks
Could be with the blue. Was after sunset late in blue hour.
Taken Last Night HDR'd to keep reflections down
Taken last night.
Reflections from independence hall as well as the exit sign, camera and smoke detector were scrubbed out. (quick job)
Used HDR to cut down the reflection hot spots off of the bell
Thank you
After a couple of tries I got the right mix on my p900 printer.
Possibly try a couple of reflectors to remove the shadows
Beautiful Shot.
If you don't have De-Noise software such as Topaz or ON1, consider it.
The grain removed will remove the grain in the background and sharpen up the subject a little.
Both programs have a free trial. Amazing stuff and will turn shots you thought were throwaways into keepers.
When shooting this type of pic, it's good to have a couple of filters in your bag.
1. A Polarized filter would help a lot with the haze. Use during daylight hours, not at sunrise or sunset.
2. A graduated ND filter would allow you to darken the sky in relation to the rest of the shot.
If possible, visiting the site during the Golden hour would give the shot a different look that may surprise( If the shadows are good) Not always better, but definitely different.
Also, this pic can be made 2x better just by doing some additional post processing to remove some haze and sharpen a bit. The haze reduction will bring out the colors much better.
