Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Thank you all so much for for the support this year, truly so lucky to have to get to share #pittsburgh with so many of you. These are some of my favorite images from last year and can’t wait to see what 2026 will bring.

The whitecaps on the Allegheny River today in #pittsburgh right now are insane. The wind is actually making the river look like it’s flowing the opposite direction. Just wild.

A beautiful sunrise in #Pittsburgh this morning, as the sky caught fire directly behind the city for nearly 45 minutes. It was amazing to watch the scene develop from the West End Bridge, and this is one of my favorites.

Hope that everyone celebrating today had a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for the support over the year...Pittsburgh is truly a special city and I'm so blessed to be able to share it with so many of you!

A beautiful Christmas Eve morning in #pittsburgh today with buildings downtown lit up red and green for the holidays. Sunrise was incredible as well from the West End Overlook, capping off what was a great start to the day.

Another insanely beautiful snowfall in #Pittsburgh last night, and these are two of my favorite images. A ew composition of the Horne's Tree framed by the bushes, and a reflection of the tree where you can actually see the reflection of the snowflakes as well. First time I've ever shot that!

Have gotten a ton of requests about print purchases since the train image, so I thought I'd make a quick post about it (though I'd rather just be sharing images!). See below: My entire gallery is here prints.davedicello.com/gallery/port... Calendars are here www.davedicello.shop/shop/1768029...

A few snowglobes from the Strip District in #Pittsburgh during last week’s snowfall. I find myself capturing the Strip more and more and these all came out really cool. I’ll have more to share as well but these are my favorites.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Just an absolutely amazing morning in #Pittsburgh today. The snow looked incredible as it fell over the city, and I spent nearly six hours capturing so many different areas of the city. We'll start with a couple snowglobe images of the Horne's Tree and Duquesne Incline though. What a day.

More images from last night’s helicopter flight over #Pittsburgh this time of Kennywood Park. The display is one of the best in the city and you can really see how they go all out on the decorations. Amazing to see it from this angle.

I know that I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but I've still been capturing #pittsburgh everyday, and tonight I had the opportunity to capture some amazing images for Light Up NIght. These were shot from a helicopter over the city, and are some of my favorite holiday images I've ever captured.

This morning in #Pittsburgh the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was visible from the West End Overlook and it was incredible to see. The rocket and exhaust were illuminated by the rising sun just as it was centered over the city. My favorite rocket launch image to date.

Meant to post these last week! On Friday I had the opportunity to tour the new terminal at @pitairport.bsky.social and it was such an amazing experience. It’s so close to being complete, and I loved seeing how open it was. The ceiling is a work of art, and I can’t wait to travel when it’s all done.

The farthest away I was to #Pittsburgh to capture the moon was 12.4 miles, and last night I was just shy of that at 9 miles but it worked out perfectly. The moon rose right beside the Steel Building, making for an unbelievable composition.

Downtown #Pittsburgh looked incredible tonight at moonrise, and I was even able to capture it behind the Gulf Tower. Even though the river wasn’t smooth, I kinda dig those shimmering reflections.

A view from yesterday morning and what might be one of my favorite images of the Iron City clock in #Pittsburgh. I actually captured this one from a few blocks away, and I think it's kinda cool how the clock just looks like it's floating above the South Side.

A foggy start to the day in #Pittsburgh this morning, and the view from the West End was the perfect spot to capture it. The fog was actually rolling in from the east (it normally comes up the Ohio from the West), so it was cool to see a wall of fog behind town.

Flying home from Iceland last week I had the incredible opportunity to pass over Greenland. It was something that I never even thought of doing, but when I looked out the window it was like looking at an alien landscape. Just incredible to experience.

A few recent film scans that I got back, all captured in the Strip District in #Pittsburgh. My favorite one is that first image of the pigeon walking in the crosswalk...it's just the type of image that film is made for.

Spent the week in Dublin and man was it fun. Bit of a whirlwind trip but I packed a lot into it, from Trinity College to pubs to churches and the bridges. So many images to share, but we’ll start with a view of the Temple Bar. It was a bit packed for my taste but still fun.

A few images of Edgar Thomson Steel outside of #Pittsburgh yesterday morning. I biked from downtown to McKeesport (about 34 miles round trip) and captured a bunch of images along the way. The light yesterday was perfect.

Never really thought the focus of one of my #Pittsburgh timelapses would ever be a clock, but that was the case last night. This is a little over an hour of the Iron City Clock before it was turned on yesterday evening and it came out way cooler than I thought it would. youtu.be/XAopo3IidTE

The Iron City Beer clock is officially lit in #Pittsburgh and it’s the perfect addition to the South Side. So many images and a timelapse to share but these are some of my favorites from tonight.

Trying to nail down just four images to share for World Photography Today is nearly impossible, but I'll try. From #Pittsburgh to Italy, and Death Valley to upstate New York, photography brings me a lot of joy and I'm so happy that I get to share it with so many people everyday.

A few days ago I headed into #Pittsburgh to capture some views of the old Duquesne Brewery clock, which is now a fiery red now that Iron City Beer has taken it over. It won't be turned on until later this week, but last week in the morning sunlight it looked so cool.

Some incredible scenes in #pittsburgh this morning as the Perseid Meteor Shower was visible over the Steel City. The first image is a 470 shot composite of stars creating steaks over the city, and the second one is just the meteors. Also pictured: Saturn and its rings and Jupiter with its moons.

The moon looked amazing last night as it rose behind PPG Place in #Pittsburgh from the West End Overlook. It’s been a while since the moon lined up with the city from here and I tried to take full advantage. Lots more images to come!

Both of these images of the moon and PPG Place in #Pittsburgh were captured this evening, as the moonrise in the city was incredible. I have so many images to share, but these are definitely some earlier favorites.

Recently got some film back that I shot at Kennywood Park and I think I may exclusively shoot film there. The vibe just could not be more perfect, and these images just make me feel like I'm back there as a kid.

Last week I launched my 2026 #Pittsburgh calendars and completely forgot to share them here! This is my 14th year doing a calendar, and I have a special anniversary edition, where I took 13 images from each of the prior year. Thank you so much for the support over the years! www.davedicello.shop

Took a little break from social media as we were in Virginia Beach for a week, but I made sure to catch the Schwirian Farm sunflower festival last night. I was shooting some portraits in the fields but spent some time capturing the actual fields before and after the sessions as well.

Finally checked out the drone show at Kennywood earlier this week and it was so cool to see the history of the park presented over the Racer. These are some favorites, but I have a ton more that I captured, including a timelapse of the entire show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbvP...

Really enjoyed #Picklesburgh in #Pittsburgh yesterday. Spent over 10 hours downtown capturing scenes from the Clemente Bridge to downtown, and the layout made a huge difference. The food and drink were delicious, the music and activities were fun, and it seemed like everyone had a great time.

I’d say #picklesburgh is a success on day one. Downtown #pittsburgh is packed with people enjoying every pickle, and it’s awesome to see.

It's time for another year of #Picklesburgh in downtown #Pittsburgh this weekend, and this morning the bridges were lit up green to kick off the festival. It's such a fun time, and as someone who enjoys pickle beer, I'm looking forward to enjoying a few to cool off today.

This morning's moonset (the wide angle) and the moonrise this evening in #Pittsburgh. Heckuva day to be out to capture the moon. Clouds on the horizon nearly spoiled both views, but all in all they worked out just fine.

It was nice to see some color in the sky over #Pittsburgh this morning. Nothing too crazy, but the different layers of clouds caught the light nicely, and the foliage along the West End made for a beautiful framed for the city. All in all, a solid morning.

Whether people were tied off in a string of 24 boats on the Ohio River, parked on the Ft. Pitt Bridge, or packed in like sardines on the Roberto Clemente Bridge, it seemed like everyone was out in #Pittsburgh to enjoy the July 4th fireworks last week.

What an awesome fireworks show in #Pittsburgh tonight. I had the opportunity to capture it from a unique perspective on Grandview Avenue, the being at eye level with the fireworks was just so cool. These are some favorites but I'll have a bunch more tomorrow.

Happy 4th of July everyone. This morning #Pittsburgh was lit up red, white and blue in honor of the holiday, and I just love capturing the city when it's so colorful like this. There was even a soft pink backdrop in the sky at sunrise, which was just the icing on the cake.

The fog never really materialized as I hoped it would in #Pittsburgh, but the way the early morning sun lit up the bit of fog that was there made for some beautiful scenes. The river was also surprisingly still given the barge traffic.

Another view of that amazing rainbow in #pittsburgh last week on this dreary day. The scene on the West End was just incredible, as the rainbow was so bright and framed the city perfectly.

Awesome night in #Pittsburgh watching the Riveters win the division with a goal in the final seconds of stoppage time. The game was exciting, the sunset was beautiful and the fireworks colorful. Doesn’t get much better than that.

A rainbow frames the Mister Rogers statue and downtown #Pittsburgh this evening from the North Shore, and while it had begun to fade by the time I got there (I capture it from the West End first), it was still plenty visible. Talk about an amazing view.

A few weeks ago I spent a morning running around #pittsburgh capturing the moon and had a bunch of luck on the 16th Street Bridge. The set perfectly on the top of the Highmark Building and in the spires of PPG Place, making for some really incredible scenes.

Three years ago tonight mammatus clouds lit up in the sky over #Pittsburgh and created one of the most amazing and uniques scenes I've ever captured. To this day I cannot believe how incredible they looked.

A foggy view from last Friday in #Pittsburgh, with the trees on the West End framing the city perfectly. I guess the overgrown hillside below the overlook has its perks at times.

I’m not sure what happened in the last month but somehow it’s June already. Now that soccer is over and school is out I should be sharing more #pittsburgh images, so here’s one from last weekend. Love the look of the rainbow lights against that predawn sky.

We've had some decent sunrises over the last few days in #Pittsburgh, but this morning's might be one of the best of the year. The way that the clouds caught the early morning light was amazing, and there was color in seemingly every corner of the sky. An amazing start to the day.
