Yesterday was a cool rainy day, and we headed to Fairchild again. Butterflies were not in the best of moods. We got some, but spent more time with the flowers, since it was cloudy, we could work longer than we usually would. In this case, I sussed the Leica 35 Summilux ASPH FLE, with a… Continue reading Rainy Day Flowers

Butterfly Expedition
For one reason or another, mostly health related, we had not visited the Butterfly Garden at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. So Valentine Day seemed like a good time to do it, since the rather was on the cold side for Florida. Sun was out and a little breeze for macro, but were going to be… Continue reading Butterfly Expedition
Seeing Miami Anew

I have always enjoyed taking pictures in the natural world. I have been underwater with a camera, in the swamps, up mountains, abroad and in the USA, but I have always needed to venture out of my familiar territory. The camera has been a way to share what I have seen and…

How we do fireworks
We love doing fireworks and Florida’s Disney World has three parks that offer nightly shows. You can choose from a variety of locations, using foregrounds to make the photo more interesting. Fireworks by themselves are kind of boring. Cityscapes under them usually work, but incorporating people or structures usually give you a stronger image. Normally… Continue reading How we do fireworks
It has been a long time
We have not been to the blog since December 1st of last year. Shame on us! It is not that we are not taking photographs, nor stopped in our testing of new equipment. Sometimes our priorities get a little shook up and we need to stop and re-evaluate. Some of you know that I went… Continue reading It has been a long time
