Ceilings In The Louvre

by Paul S. Bartholomew on May 17, 2012

I’m back from Paris and have a lot of images to share. My first set of images are from the Louvre and I’m pleased they allow photography because the ceilings are amazing! These low light images are difficult without a tripod but I managed with the Nikon D800 set at a high ISO. I’m still [...]

Moravian 1762 Waterworks – Bethlehem, PA

by Paul S. Bartholomew on December 12, 2011

I’m originally from the Bethlehem, PA area and tend to get a little homesick this time of year. With its rich colonial history, beautiful buildings and great restaurants, it makes for a wonderful place to visit during the holiday season. When I studied Colonial American History at Kutztown University, I wrote a term paper about [...]

I drive a few times each month from Bucks County to the Lehigh Valley and I often meander on the back roads. I’ve passed this Grist Mill many times and finally had the opportunity to take photos. I grew up a few miles away so it’s nice seeing this part of the area mostly undisturbed [...]

Time goes fast! It was an overcast and slightly rainy day during my visit and it was very quiet everywhere I went. The sites are impressive [...]

Burns, Jr. I’ve photographed churches before but this one is incredible to visit and see in person.  There are plenty of details of fine craftsmanship  and the ceiling is very impressive. Here are some [...]

Moravian Bell House – Bethlehem, PA

by Paul S. Bartholomew on December 5, 2010

I always enjoy taking photos of Bethlehem’s historic area during the holiday season. It would be be nice to get snow in the photos but I’ll have to wait a little. This is part of an ongoing project that benefits Historic Bethlehem and will hopefully help their marketing. The local colonial history is very personal to [...]
