Prague, the beautiful city, part II


As promised, some more of the pictures that have been processed for web. As most of the rest, they were captured with the Leica M9-P, and mostly wide angle lenses, the ones at night, obviously tripod mounted. We use the Sirui, carbon fiber with the added Sirui bullhead. Not the 12 inch light one, but… Continue reading Prague, the beautiful city, part II

Miami Renaissance Festival


The festival was at Cauley Historical Square for the past 3 week-ends and we visited every Sunday, getting to be familiar with many of the participants. Although this location is not as big as the one in Deerfield Beach, the abundance of trees provide a shade in many places, providing shelter from the inclement heat… Continue reading Miami Renaissance Festival

Leica goes Calle Ocho


Calle Ocho, as SW 8th St is sometimes referred to, is the heart of Little Havana, one of the oldest Cuban communities in Miami. There is the Domino Park, a club for seniors sponsored by the City of Miami, where there are games, mostly domino, although you can also see chess. We decided it would… Continue reading Leica goes Calle Ocho

Lensbabies make it to the Grove

Edge 80, edited in Radlab

Sunny Sunday afternoon in Coconut Grove, armed only with the Sony NEX 7 and a Lensbaby Composer Pro, with two optics, Sweet 35, which I’m more familiar with, and trying to get used to the Edge 80. This one is not as easy to master as the 35, but it can yield very unusual results,… Continue reading Lensbabies make it to the Grove

Epcot with a flare

Sony Nex 7 with Lensbay Sweet 35 optic. Processed in CS6 with Radlab.

We both love Epcot, not only for the great food but for many photo opportunities. This time, although I did something I’m just beginning to play with, architectural, I did a lot of non-conventional stuff, but that’s where the fun part is, and in my evolution as a photographer, I am more concerned in having… Continue reading Epcot with a flare

Carrying the NEX-7, Tripod and lights by Alfred Forns


Carrying the NEX-7, Tripod and lights. First order of business was looking for a tripod. Our first logical choice was a Gitzo one series but it did not prove to be a good choice. Folded, it was still longer than I wished and the current price is incredible. Looked at other brands but came up… Continue reading Carrying the NEX-7, Tripod and lights by Alfred Forns

Fieldtrip to Shark Valley by Fabiola Forns

Backlit Great Blue Heron and catfish. We had to run for this one and he never gave us a good light angle.

The trip to Shark Valley, regardless of the 11 mile road work, proved to be very interesting. I would say even better than the Burrowing Owls at Brian Piccolo Park. We had been very disappointed with our session at Anhinga Trail, which we found very neglected and with very few subjects for this time of… Continue reading Fieldtrip to Shark Valley by Fabiola Forns
