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
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
So Epcot again it is!
After a long summer break, mainly due to the Florida summer heat and humidity, we decided to take a chance and visit Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival.
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

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
Santa’s Enchanted Forrest
One of our favorite night shooting locations for the year and a fine place to use the fast Leica lenses. All images made hand holding, including the Ferris Wheel which was taken at 1/15 sec. Might make one more trip this year and post more images.
Phaleanopsis Study
Due to a surgery I had two weeks ago, my field mobility has been somehow impaired temporarily. But the photographer in me is always there and my house orchids proved to be patient and cooperative subjects. The light comes in fully around 8AM, so I took advantage of it and captured and edited these, warming… Continue reading Phaleanopsis Study
Leica D-Lux 6 visits the train museum.
I don’t usually carry a point and shoot to the field trips, either the full garb or no camera at all so I can concentrate in others, but today I made and exception because I wanted to try my D-Lux without the electronic viewfinder and no tripod. I’m not a tripod lover and I’m enjoying… Continue reading Leica D-Lux 6 visits the train museum.
Leica Monochrom
The only way to know if a Monochrom is worth it for you is trying it. No amount of reading will be able to Make your decision easy…… so I went down to the Leica Store and got one for using overnight. Sweet. Nothing but good vibes at the store and Kirsten and Peter… Continue reading Leica Monochrom
