So alfred talked me into using a point and shoot camera. I have never been a fan but he always has one with him, even in trips with full load of equipment. Lots of candids and behind the scenes he had. So he got me the Sony RX-100 mkIV, really small and powerful. A real… Continue reading Ceiba speciosa is blooming!

What do you do on a rainy day in Brickell Avenue?
We love the buildings in Brickell Avenue, even more so than the ones downtown. It is also easier to navigate, since we do, or have done, the work from the car. This time we did not take the mirrorless system, since it was raining. Not nice to walk around in the rain on a hot… Continue reading What do you do on a rainy day in Brickell Avenue?
Night Life at Mango’s
We have been visiting the disco bar at Ocean Drive lately. It is a rather informal cabaret, with a few tables downstair and others on the balcony upstairs. The shoes start at 8:15Pm and keep going until 2:30AM. Great stuff, folks. You can see it from the bars or reserve a table, where cover charges… Continue reading Night Life at Mango’s
Puffin Stravaganza
Puffin Extravaganza Although we rarely do any birds anymore, we remain fascinated by the Auk family, especially the Puffins. Since our son Rodrigo and his wife live in England, we decided to visit the rookery islands while spending time with the kids. There are a lot of cottages available for rent in Seahouses, base for… Continue reading Puffin Stravaganza
Rainy Day Flowers
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
Flamenco night
We were at Cava, Coral Gables, last night and took a few pics of the dancers. Very talented group. Sony 7as, Zeiss 55/1.8 @ f/2.8, Auto ISO
Miami Mystery
So Art Basel Wynnwood was here again, and we took Maggie Steber’s workshop again, Miami Mystery, to Miami Noir as I like to call it. It was great, very good at motivating Maggie is. Although Wynnwood is certainly changing, less wall writers and more galleries, it is still a spectacular place to view art, interesting… Continue reading Miami Mystery
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
